i Instructions
- 1. Setup & Starting Position: Lie flat on the bench, retract and depress your scapulae into the pad, and plant your feet firmly on the floor. Grip the barbell slightly wider than shoulder-width.
- 2. Movement Execution: Press in a continuous cadence, reversing the stroke just prior to joint lockout to maintain uninterrupted tension on the chest.
- 3. Breathing and Safety: Inhale deeply into your diaphragm before descending, brace your core via the Valsalva maneuver, and exhale forcefully through the final lockout phase. Maintain active scapular retraction throughout.
