Reasonably Fit
Getting in shape doesn’t have to be so intense and complicated. So many people get consumed by trying to do every new crash diet, detox, and extreme workout, none of which are sustainable or enjoyable! We’re here to help make fitness fit into your life, rather than take over your life!

Getting Started with Barbells - Part Two: Bench Press
Today we're finally back to our 3-part series on getting started with barbell training! This episode is all about how to progress to the barbell bench press! We got into a ton of detail on how you can set yourself up for success with the bench press by following a simple but effective progression.
Our goal with this series is to eliminate the frustration and need for a ton of cues and corrections once you're working with the barbell, and instead help prepare your body for the barbell lifts by going through different exercise variations that will allow your body to do the learning along the way so you're much more prepared, confident, and ready to take on those barbell lifts!
In the episode we mention four different exercise progressions, and you can find videos of them all here:
Single Arm Floor Press
Single Arm DB Bench Press
2-DB Bench Press
BB Bench Press
We hope you find this episode helpful, and stay tuned for part 3 where we will go over progressions to the barbell deadlift!
