Gaining Strength On The Bench Press
The bench press is one the most popular exercises to gain strength on for those who are into weight training. The first step to increasing bench press strength is to make sure you’re using proper form when you’re doing it. If you do sloppy bench reps you won’t be building as much actual strength in your chest as you wouild if you used good lifting form. It’s okay to have your lower back arched, but you need to keep your behind on the bench when you do the bench press during your chest workouts. You should also contract your upper back muscles and pull your shoulder blades inward to pop your pecs out and target them better. Always lower the weight under control, do not drop it on your chest. When the weight touches your chest try to explode it upward.
