The Ez Barbell JM Bench Press exercise is a variation of the traditional bench press that targets the chest, shoulders, and triceps. The use of an E-Z barbell helps to relieve stress on the wrists, making it a more comfortable exercise for some individuals.
How to perform
To perform the Ez Barbell JM Bench Press, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Start by lying flat on a bench with your feet planted firmly on the ground. Your back should be arched slightly, and your shoulder blades should be squeezed together.
2. Grip the E-Z barbell with an overhand grip, with your hands placed slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Your palms should be facing towards your feet.
3. Lift the barbell off the rack and hold it directly over your chest with your arms fully extended.
4. Slowly lower the barbell down towards your chest, keeping your elbows tucked in close to your body.
5. Pause for a moment at the bottom of the movement, then push the barbell back up to the starting position, fully extending your arms.
6. Repeat for the desired number of reps, focusing on maintaining good form throughout the exercise.
7. Once you have completed your set, carefully rack the barbell back on the rack and rest before moving on to your next exercise.
It's important to use a weight that is challenging but allows you to maintain proper form. As with any exercise, it's important to warm up properly before performing the Ez Barbell JM Bench Press and to listen to your body to prevent injury.
