The wide grip barbell bench press targets your outer chest muscles more than regular bench press. It builds a wider, fuller chest while still working shoulders and triceps.
1. Lie on the bench with your eyes under the barbell and grip the bar with hands wider than shoulder width 2. Unrack the wide grip barbell bench press bar and hold it straight above your chest with arms extended 3. Lower the bar slowly to your chest, keeping your elbows flared out at about 45 degrees 4. Press the bar back up to starting position, focusing on squeezing your chest muscles 5. Repeat for desired reps, keeping control throughout the entire wide grip barbell bench press movement
• Keep your shoulder blades pulled back and down throughout the wide grip barbell bench press • Don't let the bar bounce off your chest - control the weight on the way down • Your wide grip should be about 1.5 times shoulder width for the wide grip barbell bench press • Keep your feet flat on the floor and maintain a slight arch in your lower back
• Gripping too wide, which puts too much stress on your shoulders during the wide grip barbell bench press • Lowering the bar too fast or bouncing it off your chest instead of controlling the movement • Flaring elbows too wide or keeping them too close - aim for about 45 degrees from your body during wide grip barbell bench press
