SUPINE BENCH PRESS

Press your way to a stronger upper body

Looking to build upper-body strength and give your chest workout a boost? The Supine Bench Press Machine is a fantastic addition to your strength training routine.

Designed to target your chest muscles (pectorals), shoulders and triceps, it provides a supported, controlled way to perform a bench press movement.

The lying-back position helps you focus on building strength, improving pushing power and developing upper-body muscle.

Whether you’re new to strength training or looking to mix up your chest day routine, the Supine Bench Press is a great way to work towards your fitness goals.

 

How does it work?

  1. Start by selecting a comfortable weight and lying back on the bench with your feet firmly positioned on the floor or designated foot supports.

  2. Grip the handles slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, keeping your wrists straight and elbows comfortably positioned.

  3. Push the handles upwards in a smooth, controlled movement, extending your arms without locking your elbows.

  4. Slowly lower the weight towards your chest, keeping your back supported and core engaged throughout the movement.

Avoid bouncing or using momentum, and focus on steady, controlled repetitions. Start light, maintain good technique and get ready to give your upper body a boost.
