Open in the app⚠️ Most common mistake: Gripping the bar too narrow, which strains the wrists without adding any extra triceps work. Letting the elbows flare out wide, turning the lift back into a regular bench and reducing triceps load. Bouncing the bar off the chest to use momentum instead of a controlled pause and press. Allowing the wrists to bend back under the bar, which leaks force and stresses the joints.
💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Triceps. The Chest assist.
