KEYS TO A BETTER BENCH PRESS

3 surefire ways to improve your technique, form, and overall performance on the bench press.



1.BREATH: Take a deep breath before you lower the bar to begin each rep. This increases intra-abdominal pressure, stabilizing your spine and creating a tight feeling throughout the body that will instantly make you stronger.  Attempting to take a breath while lowering the bar will cause  you to lose some tightness.

A.. PRESS: Lift in an arching motion. As you press the bar up, think about pushing it from your sternum toward your face. This brings the triceps more into play.

B. PULL: Don't let gravity lower the bar for you. Pull it downward by engaging your lats. Keep your elbows tucked close to your sides.
