Bench Press Technique Bodybuilding Style
Usually guys come into the gym and just press the bar from the chest. He lowered it to his chest, lifted it - nothing complicated. At first sight.
Working with an empty bar is really easy and not even traumatic. But as soon as you start to increase weight - and beginners like to do it abruptly and thoughtlessly - as problems begin with the hands, shoulders, pectoral muscles are torn, and even lumbago happens.
The second problem of mediocre exercise technique is that people very quickly hit the ceiling, which they then cannot overcome for years. Moreover, the "ceiling" is quite modest - 60-70 kg, rarely more. And this is when training the pectoral muscles several times a week with a dozen exercises.
Do you recognize yourself? Well, you will have to work again with an empty neck in order to set the technique for performing the exercise, and only then proceed to a very smooth increase in weights. We will talk about the training program a little later, but for now we will analyze the technique of performing the exercise directly.
