Overall, if you want a muscular upper body, the bench press is a must. The bench press is like 1/3 the battle for upper body hypertrophy. This makes it an extremely efficient exercise, as most big compound exercises are. All you really need is bench press, OHP, rows and pull ups. Everything else is accessory. All in all, you should use your best judgement and see how you feel. Over time you will find a happy medium between undertraining and overtraining/overreaching. If you feel you could be doing more, then add another day of bench press to your routine. If you feel that your body is exhausted and not recovering after consecutive weeks of hitting bench press twice a week, take a deload week or simply remove the exercise from one of your days for the time being. Use deload weeks smartly and frequently (i.e. every 4-8 weeks) and you shouldn’t have any issue with doing bench press twice a week (if your routine calls for it). Note: The close grip internally rotates the shoulder joint which can be hard on the shoulders for some people. It also places greater stress on the wrists. So, this is something to pay attention to. Generally speaking, you will be using considerably lighter loads for close grip bench press than you will with standard or wide. 5. WIDE GRIP BARBELL BENCH PRESS: Pectoralis Major: This is the primary mover of the bench press. The large slab of meat on your chest, of which you have one on each side and is made up of two heads (colloquially called the upper and lower chest), is the main reason why people perform the bench press. During the eccentric phase, your pec major will receive stretching tension, and the concentric phase it will receive contraction tension. Your pec major gets the greatest activation during the descent and the bottom half of the lift.

Bench Press with Bands (Full Progression) How to Speed Bench Press with Bands (Full Progression)

As you can see, the bench is actually more complex than most people initially think. The most common problem I see is people bouncing the bar off their chests. This is problematic not only because it puts a lot of pressure on the sternum, but also because it's impossible to keep your body tight if you're bouncing the bar. Besides, if you're bouncing the weight off your chest, how can you say you actually lifted it? Choking” the band means laying it over the top, then pulling one end of the band through the loop on the other side. If using a flat bench, studies show around a 30% increase on upper chest activation. So, if you want to target your upper chest without as much shoulder work, flat bench reverse grip is great. The same is true for incline, but the increase to the upper chest is not as great, consider the incline position already targets the upper chest more with the standard grip. With incline reverse grip bench press, you’ll get about a 5-10% increase in upper chest recruitment. As much as you may love your bumper plates and barbell, you can’t throw those into your gym bag and hit the road. You can roll up a few light resistance bands and toss those into your bag, however. See where we’re going with this?The strength curve explains the amount of force required to complete the full range of motion (ROM) of a lift. At certain stages of a lift, a greater force will be required to move the weight than at other stages. Swiss bar bench press is a good replacement for a standard bench press or a narrow grip bench press if you find that these movements are aggravating your shoulders or wrists. In another article, we wrote about training with chains, we cited a study that showed hanging chains from the barbell was effective in helping lifters exert greater force during the stages of the deadlift where they had previously not exerted as much force.

Most competitive powerlifters will use a wide grip bench press because they are trying to limit the range of motion as much as possible. The less range of motion the barbell needs to travel, the less overall work that needs to be performed using the same load. It’s impossible to break down a pole vault this way, but we break down lifts this way all the time. Overloading

When purchasing equipment for your home gym, two things are usually at the forefront of importance — space and versatility. Space is usually limited with home gyms, so owners prefer equipment that stores easily and doesn’t take up a lot of room. Each piece of equipment has to perform double duty and serve multiple purposes because of limited space and budget too. That’s exactly what you’ll find with the TRX Rip Trainer. TRX Rip Trainer In summary, the primary movers work in collaboration with the stabilizers to produce maximum force and well-coordinated movement. In terms of the greatest strength and hypertrophy development, it is your primary movers that will receive the greatest effect. However, together, there is a substantial effect on overall upper body strength. 10 BARBELL BENCH PRESS VARIATIONS The only reason we would say that you shouldn’t bench press is if you have shoulder joint issues, as bench press is shown to be hard on the shoulder joints, especially if using poor form for extended periods of time.

There’s another dip variation that many swear hits the chest harder than the chest dip. They’re called Gironda Dips, named after famed bodybuilder Vincent Gironda. How good are they? Well, Gironda trained Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Arnold swears they are responsible for building his lower chest…so yea, there’s that. By the way, be sure to drive your feet into the floor. This will help you create more force and thus lift heavier. Both barbell bench press and dumbbell bench press should have their place in the average weightlifters routine. However you want really. Bands can be used to stretch out your muscles. You can do exercises like squats, deadlifts, and curls with them for more muscle and strength. Or, if you’re a dedicated strength athlete, use them to make your barbell movements harder and easier at certain ranges of motion. How much do resistance bands cost? People who have a serious shoulder injury, like a torn muscle or ligament, will want to utilize guided physical therapy from a professional.

Triceps Brachii: While technically a secondary mover, your triceps brachii (or ‘triceps’ for short) will get a lot of activation during bench press. The triceps also work to stabilize the movement. For beginners, the bench press is enough to get some serious tricep development.
