- Squeeze your glutes and retract your shoulder blades (roll them back and lock them down) into the bench. This will make you form a slight arch in your back which is completely fine.
- By following this set up you should feel completely stable and a lot stronger before/during your sets.
- Press “against” the bench behind you with your shoulders as you press the weight away from you! Use It as a counter force!
- Control the weight and keep your chest pressed out!
