Hammer Bench Press
Overall chestAbout
If bench press using barbells and dumbbells was difficult, it is a workout that can be easily targeted by machines. Use your chest muscles more than your arms!
How to Hammer Bench Press
Starting Position
1. Lie on the bench and fix your feet to the floor.
2. Pull your shoulders back and hold them in place so that your shoulders are positioned behind your chest.
3. Make sure your lower back has a natural arch.
4. Grip the bar slightly wider than shoulder-width.
Proper Form
1. Slowly lower your hand to the side of your chest.
2. At this time, your forearm should be perpendicular to the floor.
3. Slowly lift it back up to return to the starting position.
Breathing Technique
Exhale when you push your arms, and inhale when you bend your arms.
Precautions
1. Please lower it as much as possible without overdoing it.
2. Be careful not to let your shoulders come forward of your chest, as it can strain your shoulders.
3. Please be careful not to let your hips fall off the bench.
