Exercise Description

We heard a rumor that Timothy Geithner loves to do some power lifting. Based upon his athletic prowess and routine workouts, we expect he could max out his bench press workout at around 205 pounds.

Muscle Groups: Upper body, chest, biceps, and forearms

Step Number 1

Life flat on the bench with a weight bar across your chest. For beginners or those who don't often use the bench press (unlike Tim Geithner), use a bench press machine, not the actual free weights. It offers a more controlled, safe movement. If you are using free weights, grab a spotter. We expect someone like Joe Biden probably spots Geither when they're lifting at the White House gym.

Step Number 2

Grasp the bar with both hands so that your knuckles are facing upward. In resting position, the bar should not actually be resting on your chest, but slightly above your chest.

Step Number 3

Extend your arms and lift the bar away from your body. Make sure your back is staying flat on the bench. Aside from the muscles in your arms (your bicep and forearms) you should use and maximize the muscles in your chest and your back. Utilize your whole upper body in order to maximize the routine.

Step Number 4

Gently return the weight to resting position right above your chest. Make sure you have a spotter available if you are using free weights so they can help you control the motion.

Step Number 5

Complete this for a total of 10 reps. For best results complete the 10 reps in three sets a piece, with obvious rest in between. Try to minimize the rest in between the 10 reps, though.
