Önemli Noktalar

Yaygın Hatalar
- ✗Adjusting the bench position incorrectly - the bar does not come to the correct part of the chest, increases shoulder injury risk
- ✗Setting the bench angle above 45 degrees - the movement turns into a shoulder press
- ✗Neglecting stabilizer muscles by relying on the Smith machine's fixed path - causes difficulty when transitioning to free weights
- ✗Bringing the bar to the full lockout point - the triceps engage and the load is taken off the chest
- ✗Lifting the hips off the bench to attempt lifting more weight - increases lower back injury risk
Nefes Kontrolü
Inhale deeply while lowering the bar to the chest, exhale in a controlled and powerful manner while pushing up.
