The Barbell Bench Press with a medium grip is a classic compound exercise that primarily targets the chest muscles (pectoralis major), while also engaging the shoulders and triceps. This variation involves gripping the barbell with hands placed slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. It emphasizes overall upper body strength and stability, making it a foundational exercise in strength training programs. Barbell Bench Presses with a medium grip are effective for building chest muscle mass, improving upper body strength, and enhancing pressing power.
