Bench 101

Everybody wants the big bench but, there is a few overlooked tips that can help you increase it to its ultimate level. First off, you need to experiment with different grips and find one that works for you. Finding the right grip can be a bit tricky for the novice lifter. The rule of the thumb is your forearm must be 90 degrees with your elbow and wrist. For most people, the grip is a little wider then shoulder width. Once you have found the right grip, you need to work on strengthening your assistant muscles, such as the triceps, anterior deltoid, and the whole backside of your upper torso. The lats, traps and lower back lay a huge foundation that stores all your power and allows you to push the bar up from your chest an extra inch, giving you must more leverage. Following these tips along with the routines that will soon be provided in the Lift Big Blog will help anyone achieve their dream number, even if its 185lbs, 315lbs or 565lbs!
