This massive compound exercise is a favourite of many. It is also used as a measure of strength. Quite often too when measuring strength this way they will work out your body weight to lift to find the strongest. Unfortunately this has been a male dominated exercise, yet it does provide great benefits for both men and women. When doing this exercise ensure you do not bounce the bar off your chest. Keep the movement smooth and under control, use a spotter if you can. This exercise is designed to work your pecs, triceps and frontal delts.
