Exercise Bench

How To Do a Safe Bench Exercise?
I have not long started working out with weights and all is going well however, whenever I do a heavy bench exercise such as the bench press I don’t feel particularly safe doing it. It also hurts my elbows sometimes.
How do I do a bench exercise safely and pain free?
It can be a little daunting lying under a heavy barbell bar when you are training on your own. Make sure you never try to max out as that can lead to a world of pain!
If your elbows hurt then I suggest you widen your grip when bench pressing. A narrow grip works the the triceps and by default will be harsh on your elbows. Widening will work your chest muscles and reduce the pressure on your elbows.
