Wide Grip Bench Press to Neck
Purpose of Exercise: An advanced exercise for developing the outer pectorals and delts.
Execution of Exercise: Lie on a flat bench, keep your feet firmly pressed down on the floor for stability. Use as wide a grip as possible/comfortable on the bar. Lower the bar from arms length to your neck. The bar should be lowered under control and there should be a brief pause before you return the bar to the starting (arms length) position.
Important Points: The bar should move up and down in a straight line i.e. the bar should not move towards your head or feet during the lift, if this happens it is a sign that the bar is not under control. It is vital that you perform a full range of motion on this exercise. To ensure maximum results keep your elbows pointed out and forearms perpendicular to the floor. This exercise places extreme stress on your outer pectorals and caution is advised. A spotter is ESSENTIAL on this exercise.
