Does bench pressing work mainly on ur chest?
Question:
Answers:
bench press is more like a complete upper body workout, though it most of the intensity of the training will effect your chest, but it will still tone up ur triceps, shoulders, and if ur lifting a decent weight, it will also work on your upper abs.
Bench pressing can work out both your triceps and chest. The closer your hands are on the bar, the more tricep your gonna work out. The farther your hands are, the more chest it works out
the bench press works out primarily the chest, but also works out the triceps and the shoulders, depending on what you do. putting your hands closer together will work out more of the triceps. doing decline and incline bench presses will work out your chest and shoulders.
Honestly the nech press does work out the chest primarily, followed by the anterior(front) head of your shoulder, and then the triceps. Correct form for stimulating the chest is to lie on the bench and sort of concentrate on pinchign your shoulder blades together while not arching your back. Try this with light dumbbells as they allow for a greater range of motion. Now go slow and when you push up, concentrate on feeling your chest muscles tighen. If you really want to get a massive chest and some good tris, try inclines more so than a flat bench, and also do dips. Lean as far forward as you can and dont lockout. this will keep constant tension on the chest region

Yes,the bench press works mainly on your chest-do decline,flat and incline presses for a full chest workout.
If you put your hands close together-about 6 inches-you will target the triceps.
