Bench Pin Press Overview

The Bench Pin Press focuses on improving lockout strength and targeting the triceps by pressing the barbell from a set pin position, minimizing range of motion to enhance upper-end bench press power.

How To Perform the Bench Pin Press

  1. Set the safety pins in a power rack at a height where the barbell will be close to your chest (typically 2-4 inches above your chest).
  2. Lie on the bench with your eyes directly under the barbell, feet flat on the ground, and your back slightly arched.
  3. Grip the barbell with hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and unrack it, positioning it on the safety pins.
  4. Inhale and brace your core.
  5. Press the barbell upwards explosively until your arms are fully extended.
  6. Control the descent and lower the bar back to the safety pins.
  7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
