bench press
Pectoral barbell exercise
A bench press is a weightlifting exercise performed lying face-up on a bench, pressing a barbell or dumbbells upward from the chest until the arms are extended: How much can you bench press?
The movement primarily works the chest, shoulders, and triceps.
Often shortened to bench: I benched 225 today.
