The bench press helps build many muscles in the upper body. You can do this exercise with either a barbell or dumbbells. Perform bench presses regularly as part of an upper-body workout for increased strength and muscle development.
Compound exercises are favourites for a lot of people for a very specific reason: they work multiple muscle groups in the same exercise. The conventional bench
press, performed over a flat bench has been a standard feature for gyms all over the world. Not only for those obssessed with building a mountaineous chest, but
because it also adds definition to the arms, particularly the shoulders and triceps.
The chest contains one of the largest and strongest muscles in the human body and requires a lot of time and determination to build it. Strengthening the chest
has other health benefits too, besides enhancing the physical appearance of a person. There are dozens of variations to perform a chest press but performing it
on a flat bench reduces the risk of workout injuries, thus making it a simple exercise even for a beginner.
