Barbell bench press to neck

Most people find it hard to isolate the chest when performing flat bench press, they tend to feel it more in the shoulders and triceps.  Try bringing the barbell down to the bottom of your neck just at the start of the chest, this you will find will hit the chest more directly as the chest is forced to work through a different range of motion causing it to grow.  Be careful as although you are bringing it to touch the very top of the chest you could actually injure your neck if you were to bounce it off your chest like some weightlifters do, which is something you should also avoid doing instead opting for a controlled movement down to the neck.  Bench neck presses have been popular with bodybuilders for along time with pro’s such as Flex Wheeler and Dorian Yates swearing by them.
