Proper positioning on a weight bench to maximize leverage

Keep the bar in line with the eyes; if you are too far towards the top of the bench it puts your shoulders in a weak position and wastes energy, and creates unsteadiness when lifting off.
Firm foot contact with the floor close to the bench is Paramount! Feet on the bench,

According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product

straight legs with feet lightly touching the floor is a recipe for failure; it decreases force and puts you out of balance. Feet planted firmly on the floor and push from that foundation to blow through sticking points. When your feet are close to the bench, it's easier to keep the arch in your back.

A word about grip strength

You will notice most Big Benchers have huge forearms; that is because grip strength is a huge factor in controlling the bar. Wrap your thumbs around the bar and squeeze hard as if you squeeze right through the bar.

Grip the bar low in the palm to

If you correct the frequent mistake of holding the bar near the base of your fingers causing a backward bend in your wrist you will notice an immediate increase in your max bench due to the improved leverage and increase in sending the force of the chest, deltoids, tri

Use the width of your grip to exploit your strengths!

Sticking Points result from weakness in secondary muscle groups. Where the bar stalls will pinpoint the weak muscle.

Mid point = weak pecs and/or triceps
Bottom = weak front deltoids
Lock out = triceps.
Use a wide grip

Choose the grip width and elbow placement based on your body

Long arms use a wide grip to shorten the path of the bar (elbows out)
Short arms use a closer grip (elbows in more)

Employ your strengths

Strengthen assistance muscles and eliminate weak points!

A Big Bench = Powerful Deltoids, Lats, Triceps, Forearms and Bicep Tendons.

Work with heavy weights on these groups and your bench will improve, (especially go heavy on triceps!)

Use rows to exerc

ses the lats think of barbell rows as a reverse bench press this trains the back in the same plane as the bench press.

Lifting Form = Physics. The shortest distance between 2 points is a straight line!

If you have shoulder pain, (like I do), keep your elbows and arms at a 90° angle and lower the bar a bit below the nipples to increa

Lift right away once the bar is above your chest, it’s a little late to get “geared up” so don’t just hold the bar over your chest, get on with it!

You are stronger on the eccentric, (negative), so sl

Pause at the bottom to prevent momentum, this is important on working any muscle for hypertrophy. Quick movements are better suited to certain sport specific training.

Press straight up unless it feels causes shoulder pain or feels too abnormal

Initially strength is determined by your nervous system and connective tissue integrity

As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel

as as much to do with your mind as it does with strength and technique weight mentally, you need to believe, (even picture yourself), or it will not happen

Sometimes little rituals before the lift are a good idea to clear your thoughts and put you in the mindset, you've seen this with field goal kickers and other sports that are prim

rily mental; these are called “anchors”. Develop a simple action, (anchor) such as: clapping, stomping, or something as simple as deeply breathing a given number of times. It should be an uncomplicated movement that you don’t normally do.

It is common for lifters to hit sticking points at times when they add another 45 lb plate (i.e. 225,

As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de

Focus and maintain your concentration and be only selectively aware of your surroundings.

You must picture in your mind doing and believing you wil

Companies that provide selfless information through particip

Apply these techniques and get the proper equipment and I guarantee serious results and a bigger bench!
