Bench Press

Muscles trained:Chest, shoulders, triceps

Set the bench inside the rack at the appropriate angle, lie back, and lift the weight off the supports and away you go. The best part about using a rack or cage, is that if no one’s around to spot you, you can set the safeties just above your chest that if you get into trouble you can just set the bar down.
