flat beanch press
This is for chest and muscles of pectorals,intorial and middle deltoals.
Flat Bench Press
This is for chest and muscles of pectorals major, dealtoil interior part and .triceps brachii long head & triceps brachii medial head .
Weight lifting exercise position
Lie back on the bench with your feet firmly planted on the floor and back pressed firmly against the padding.
Take a tight grip of the barbell (overhand) with your thumbs roughly 3 feet (90cm) apart. Make sure that your grip is balanced between both sides of your body. Once your grip is set, press your shoulders down and back into the bench.
This will push up your pectoral girdle and allow for a much better stimulation.
Lift the bar from the rack
Execution.
Take the barbell from the rack and lock your elbows at the top position.
Lower the barbell to the nipple area of the chest, slowly and under control, keeping your elbows away and outward from the trunk of your body.
As the weight lowers, be sure not to bounce the weight - very important - do not bounce the weight from the chest.
Lightly touch the chest and push the weight back up in a controlled fashion.
Beginners may find that the weight starts to fall forward or backward or that the weight is rising unevenly because one arm is stronger than the other. Don’t worry too much about this and concentrate on the movement itself.
After a couple of weeks you will develop a groove and this movement will be second nature.
Incline Dumbbell Press
A variation of the inclince barbell press is the incline dumbbell press. This is a great exercise to do if your lagging on the incline press or looking for something new to try:

Weight lifting exercise position

Incline Bench Press
This works the upper area of the chest and the anterior or front part of the deltoids better than the flat bench. The movement is almost a cross between a flat bench press and an overhead press.
A 30-degree angle is all that is needed. If the angle is more than 30 degrees, the deltoids begin to move the weight.
1. Lie on a incline bench, feet firmly on floor.
2. Make sure that your butt, back, shoulders, and head are firmly
positioned on the bench.
3. Roll your shoulders back and down so the shoulder blades are firmly
pressed against the bench and the chest is sticking up. This should
result in the spine being slightly arched.
4. Your arms should be placed straight up with your hands gripping the
bar slightly wider than shoulder width.
5. Inhale and hold your breath as you lower the weight. When the bar
reaches the chest, even with your nipples, begin to move the weight
upward. Do not bounce the weight off your chest. This can cause
massive injuries.
6. Exhale as you pass the point of greatest resistance. Pause slightly at
the top of the movement and repeat.

5. Elbows must remain flexed throughout the entire movement.
Execution
1. Slowly lower your arms out to the side of your body with your arms at right angles. The dumbbells should be slowly lowered in an arc like motion toward the floor until your chest is comfortably stretched.
2. At the bottom position of the exercise your hands should be parallel the trunk of your body. Raise and repeat. The elbows should be slightly bent throughout the whole movement and should not be altered from start to finish (imagine your arms wrapping around a large tree).
