How to Bench Press the Right Way

Flat-back Benching for Bigger Gains

The bench press is a main line training exercise and many guys use it
in their chest routine.  However, not everyone does it in the best 
possible manner.  Most guys plant their feet on the ground and push 
off from both feet, causing the back to arch. This is a mistake for 
several reasons. First, the push effect brings the leg and low back 
into play and does so in a negative way.  If you are trying to employ 
the bench press to build your chest and triceps, you don't want to 
off-load some of that load onto the low back and legs.  Second, doing
so can cause an injury if very heavy weights are used.

Go Flat

The key to the most beneficial way to bench press is to keep the back
flat on the bench.  This will cause the chest and arms to get all of 
the work, and prevents the legs, hips and low back from getting 
involved.  Removing the legs from the equation will not only help 
prevent injury but also force you to use your chest and arms more 
directly. This is the best way to bench press if you want more 
powerful chest muscles.

Feet Elevated

So how do you achieve a flat back in the performance of the bench 
press?  You elevate your feet.  You can raise them up and cross them
at the ankles, or you can place them on the bench (provided that you
don't push off on the bench and just use it to lightly stabilize your
body).  Performing the bench press with your feet elevated will take 
some getting use to and you will probably have to start with a 
lighter weight load, but don't worry, you will quickly adjust and 
adapt to the new way of lifting.  It will take a little while to get
the balance right but after practicing this manner of bench pressing
for a period it will become second nature and you will be able to 
keep your back flat on the bench.

Note – for super heavy maximum lifts you can lower your legs for 
stability, but you will find that your chest and arms are much 
stronger and you can bench press more weight. 

As you get in session after session of flat back bench pressing your
chest and arms will become bigger and stronger and that's a nice 
payoff.
