Weight Training: Pause Bench Press

This movement is the pause bench press. When done properly this will work all the muscles of the chest, shoulders, triceps, the upper back, and the core. It is important when performing this movement to maintain tension as the bar makes contact with the chest and to explode out of the bottom position as fast as possible. It is also important to make sure the athlete has a spotter at all times.
