Tip

The further you stand from the bar, the harder the exercise becomes. Keep your back straight and your elbows close to your body. Make sure that you keep your chest slightly out and your shoulders slightly back throughout the exercise. This will help you engage your chest muscles better. Also try to consciously target your chest muscles and push less out of your arms. Make sure that your wrists are not bent and are in line with your forearm.
