How to Bench Press with proper form: setup on the bench, grab the bar, unrack it, lower it to your mid-chest and press it back up. Bench Press in the Power Rack for maximum safety. Set the safety pins at the proper height so they catch the weight if you fail to lift it.
However, the bench press doesnât JUST use your upper body. When you bench properly, you use your lower back, hips, and legs as well.
