Tips To Improve Your Bench Press Instantly
1. CORRECT GRIP WIDTH
Your grip may help you or destroy your bench press.Closer grip will work more your triceps and shoulders than your chest.Wider grip will do quite the opposite – your pectoral muscles will do most of the work.Just the right grip will recruit your shoulders,chest muscles and triceps and will give you the greatest pressing power..
2. CORRECT BREATHING
Inhale deeply while lowering the bar, inflating your chest as much as possible.This will shorten the distance the bar has to pass and increase your torso stability. 3. WORK ON YOUR BACK
The lats are greatly responsible for keeping the bar in its path, and keeping the upper body tight to promote a solid base for muscular contraction.Wider back equals wider and more stable base that can support more weight.The second thing you need to work on is the back thickness. Thicker back means shorter distance the bar will travel.
4. SQUEEZE THE SHOULDER BLADES TOGETHER
When you squeeze the shoulder blades you’ll find out that you’re not only more stable on the bench but your shoulders are in a
stronger pressing position your torso is a little thicker.
5. LEG DRIVE
Pressing with your legs can help you tremendously when you are in the bottom bench press position.You actually use your legs to slide yourself up the bench. But because the weight is holding you down, that force helps push the weight up.
