How to Keep the Bar Honrizontal in Bench Press?

whenever i do a bench press the bar always seems to fall sideways, and its not because of the weight ; i've done bench presses on other exercise machines where the "bar" is already in position so you don't have to worry about that. Now i was just doing an actually bench press with like 2 times less weight but i can't keep the bar horizontal. Any tips?|||Do more!





Having the safety net of the machine keeping it horizontal isn't helping to build the muscles needed to keep actual weights level.





The only way to build those little muscles--called "stabilizers"--is to do more reps with less weight.





If you can't hold the bar horizontally 100% of the time, you're lifting too much weight. Go lower. Don't think about other people watching you and criticizing the weight--they're more apt to laugh at you under their breath when they see you trying to bench 150 at a 45 degree angle!
