Im English and everywhere i look in the English language says press up, so is there any differance to bench press and press up? Thanks for your help.
i dont think theres any difference.
Different languages can get semantically confusing. A press up means many things to different people. For some, it is a variation of the bench press, for others its a push-up, and others again a form of shoulder press. To perform a bench press lie on a flat or slight incline bench. Using barbell or dumbbells, pull abs in tight and flatten lower back to the bench. Start with bar/weights directly over chest, elbows at 90 degree angles. Press arms straight without locking, then lower back to starting position. Repeat for 1 to 3 sets of 8-12 repetitions, with a 30-45 second rest between sets. Use enough weight/resistance that you can ONLY complete the desired number of repetitions. If you are new to lifting it might be a good idea to use a friend to spot you. This exercise works the primarily chest, then arms and shoulders.Hope this helps!! Anthony
