Conseils techniques
Grasp the barbell with a grip slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. The bar should be directly above your neck, hence the name 'guillotine'. A common mistake is to bring the bar down to the chest, as in a traditional bench press, but the correct path for a guillotine press is to lower the bar to your neck.
Lower the bar in a slow and controlled manner, allowing it to lightly touch your neck before pushing it back up. Avoid dropping the bar quickly or bouncing it off your neck, as this can be dangerous and reduce the effectiveness of the exercise.
