ABSTRACT:
A weight bench for use in performing a bench press exercise includes a narrow planar surface for supporting a user in a reclining position and includes a portion directly beneath the shoulders which is curved, having a center apex generally coextensive with the top of the bench and curving down and away on either side from the apex thus providing relieved zones directly beneath the shoulder blades of the user. This design effectively disengages the shoulder muscles and requires that the bench press exercise be accomplished strictly by the pectorals.
