Check out Campus Recreation's Personal Trainer, Joseph Manuel, as he demonstrates and discusses the bench press.  The bench press is classified as a compound horizontal pressing movement that works multiple muscle groups including the pectorals (chest), anterior deltoids (front shoulders), triceps (back of upper arm) and serratus anterior.  Watch the video to learn the proper execution of this movement, along with some veteran trainer tips, so that you can begin incorporating this “bang for buck” exercise into your own training routines.
