The bench press is a go-to move for building upper body strength, hitting your chest, shoulders, and triceps all at once. But without proper form, it’s easy to stall progress—or worse, get injured.
Here at Answer is Fitness in Foxboro, we help members press smarter, not just harder. Here’s how to bench press with confidence and control:
Feet Flat & Stable – Drive through your legs for more power.
Back Position – Keep a natural arch; shoulders and glutes stay on the bench.
Grip – Slightly wider than shoulder-width; wrists straight.
Lower with Control – Bar to mid-chest, elbows at a 45° angle.
Press Strong – Push up smoothly, keeping everything tight.
Elbows flaring too wide
Hips lifting off the bench
Bouncing the bar
Going too heavy, too fast
Warm up with light sets
Use a spotter for heavy lifts
Mix in dumbbell presses for balance
Want to improve your form, increase your max, or train pain-free? Our certified coaches at Answer is Fitness in Foxboro are here to help. Book a training session and get personalized feedback to take your bench to the next level.
