>>110541 here's a quick form guide for the bench press.
-forearms and wrists straight -elbows should be placed such that the bar is about even with your nipples. -shoulder blades should be pulled together such that it makes a firm connection with the bench allowing you to direct force more easily through your body to the bar. -look at the ceiling, not the bar through the whole rep. -don't exhale through the rep, either hold your breath or vocalize your exhale (tension breathing/grunting).
