What are the proper form and technique for performing a bench press from a side view perspective?

When performing a bench press from a side view perspective, the proper form and technique include lying flat on a bench, gripping the barbell with hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, lowering the barbell to chest level while keeping elbows at a 45-degree angle, and pushing the barbell back up to starting position without locking elbows. Keep feet flat on the ground and maintain a stable back throughout the movement.
