so that the bench press handles are even with your chest. Sit on the
very front of the seat and lean back into the machine. The bench press
handles should be adjusted for a comfortable stretch, about even with
the front of your chest. Too far back can cause excessive strain on your
shoulders! Grab the handles with an overhand grip and press away
from your chest. Do not lock out your elbows. Return slowly.
Variations: Use an underhand grip, or neutral grip. Changing the grip
does emphasize different areas of the muscle group.
