Barbell Bench Press To Neck

What exercise does: This exercise forces your pecs to work through a different angle of motion. Neck presses have proven to be invaluable pec builders!

Implementation: (A) Lie on a flat bench, your feet on the floor for balance. Your grip on this should be slightly wider than on your normal bench press, remember the main point is to force your pecs to work in a different range of motion. I prefer about 1-3 inches wider. Raise the bar off the rack and hold it with your arms fully extended above you. (B) Lower the bar under control until it touches the part of the chest that is just below the neck. Pause for a moment when the bar touches so that you don't bounce at all. Then, drive the bar back up in one smooth motion till your arms are fully extended. Always use a full range of motion. Note: because this is near your neck you need to be extra cautious when lifting!
