I've never had bench press equipment before in my old gym (it was in my building), so I'm just getting started with it.
I'm starting off at 25 lb weights, so about 75 lbs with the bar. I can do about six reps but I have trouble keeping my arms stable and benching in a straight line. After a set, I don't feel any strain or that I've barely worked my chest.
Should I consider adding more weight? 25 lbs is still a challenge for me since I'm having trouble with my mechanics. Or should I narrow my grip?
