Materials: | A gym membership or a weight bench. |
Introduction: | Find an available bench press at the gym or at home. |
Development: | Explain and show the movement of preforming a Bench Press exercise. Allow the individual to lay on the bench and preform the exercise without weight added, just using the bar. |
Practice: | Have the individual add their desired weight to the bar and preform the movement. As someone stands behind you as a "Spotter", for safety reasons. |

Checking For Understanding: | Be sure you feel the movement stretching/pulling the muscles in your chest and shoulder area. |
