To benchpress.
This invloves lying horizontally, with free barbell perpendicular to one's body. The target muscles are the pectorals, although the arms are also givena workout. The closer together one's hands, the more work is done by the triceps. The further apart, the more work is done by the biceps.
Incline benchpresses can also be used, to focus on either the upper chest (upwards incline) or lower chest (lower incline- pretty much un-needed)
The world record for benching is about 728 pounds.

noun: related to "bitch" and "girlfriend". A snarky self identifying term that stems from American Idol's Season 8 winner Kris Allen, who apparently used the term in relation to a literal park bench on camera, but was told to not say it again on camera because with his southern accent it sounded like "bitch".
The term has been subsequently adopted by fans, most notably those from ONTD_AI.
"You already saw the new Kris Allen interview? Where at? Come on, hook a bench up!"
"Benches unite! Give 'til it hurts for Haiti!"
