How to perform?
The pause bench is a variation of the standard bench press that involves pausing the barbell on the chest for a set amount of time before pressing it back up. This exercise helps to build explosive power in the chest and triceps, as well as improve control and stability during the lift. It also places additional emphasis on the lower portion of the range of motion, which can help to strengthen the chest muscles in this area.
