The bench press is intimidating for a number of reasons. I mean, you’re pushing something heavy in the air that can fall directly on your face or neck. Plus, bench is probably more difficult because a well meaning coach or buddy taught you the wrong way to approach this movement.

Even if the bench terrifies you…even if you currently believe you just “aren’t built” for this exercise…even if you can barely move the 45 lb bar without any plates on it…all that changes today.
