The weight bench is probably the most effective piece of equipment discovered within weight lifting. Truly, people who typically pick the modern devices situated at fitness centers love exercising on the flat weight bench.

The reason is that there are many exercise regimens that can be accomplished using the flat weight bench. The weight bench can be kept flat or reclined in order to use the forces of gravity and increase the amount of resistance which is essential for workout.

NeckWeight Bench

The flat weight bench along with the neck harness can be excellent for exercising the neck. You can do this merely by lying down on the bench and extending your head and neck off the end of the bench. Moving your head from top to bottom while extended off of the end of the bench will enhance your neck muscles. Make sure to begin this workout slowly the first time without weight to get used to the motion. A neck stress is not enjoyable.

Pec Workout

The weight bench is ideal for building and sculpting your chest muscles. The flat bench press might be the single finest workout concerning developing pectoral muscle mass. You will certainly have the ability to approach this exercise in different ways simply by differing your hand positioning on the barbell. This is a straightforward workout, simply since it only needs you to rest on your back and make use of down and up movements to advance the barbell. The hand placement referred to above can be close grip, broad, or natural to work different areas of your pecs.

Dumbbell Fly’swoman on Weight Bench

In addition, I enjoy carrying out dumbbell fly’s together with the flat bench press in order to zero in on my pec workout routines. Dumbbell fly’s are done by lying down on the bench face-up and bringing the dumbbell’s directly upward and afterwards out to your sides. Accomplish this activity gradually and slowly, since of the tension of possessing the weights out away from your body. You’ll extend them down and out to your side like if you were on a cross and after that back up to the middle of your chest. I like to do three sets of each (bench and fly’s).

Abdominal muscles

The weight bench can be valuable to work your ab muscles and create a “six-pack”. You don’t have to make use of weights at all because the weight bench uses gravity for finishing the job. I like using the weight bench for this exercise vs. the traditional sit-ups and ab exercises. Take a seat at the end of the weight bench and lean back somewhat in the seated position using your hands holding onto the end of the bench. After that, extend your legs out in front of you then move them back. This is an excellent application of the weight bench to achieve both a midsection and chest workout for guys.
