The bench press can be performed on a stability ball. The client lies in a supine position across the top of the stability ball. The client rolls the stability ball forward making sure that the upper back and shoulders are in contact with the ball. The client statically contracts the gluteals and lower back to form a bridge. A 90 degree angle is maintained at the hip joints and the knee joints. From this starting position the client attempts to press the bar in the same manner as the barbell bench press.
