Pro powerlifter Mark Bell offers some valuable pointers to help you get the most out of every bench you do. Mark Bell is a professional powerlifter, inventor of the Slingshot… and owner of Super Training Gym in Sacramento, California. He's a strong guy whose competition achievements include a 1,025-pound squat, a 738-pound deadlift, and an 832-pound bench press. The dude knows what he's doing. So what better person to show you how to do benches the right way? | Mark Bell's 8 Tips for a Better Bench | 1. Develop a Pre-Lift Routine ► 1:21 2. Use the Bar to Get Into Safe Position ► 2:00 3. Initiate the Lift and Make It Easy On Your Spotter ► 10:53 4. Take the Bar Through A "J" Path ► 28:00 5. Don't Overlift at the Top End ► 14:45 6. Experiment with Lifting Shoes ► 12:10 7. Four Ways to Improve Your Lockout ► 20:00 8. Practice Practice Practice ► 25:00 As Bell knows well from all his years of competition, you need to have a constant when you're going from one gym to the next to compete. "You want to get a routine down for every piece of this puzzle, which is bench pressing,' He says. "You want to etch your routine deep in your mind and your body so that as you go to different competitions--as the lights and the crowds change and the bench and the weights change--you've got one thing that stays the same: You and your routine." When you first lay down on the bench, you naturally get into a position that's comfortable. But then you need to use the bar to get into a position that's maybe less comfortable but a lot safer. Bell's biggest piece of advice is to use the bar to lift your yourself up off the bench and then, as you settle back down on the bench, to give you room to roll your shoulder blades inward and downward towards your hips. As he like to put it, "Jam your shoulder blades into your back pockets." If you're benching enough weight that you need a spotter to help get the bar off the rack, Bell says to do it in a way that makes it easier on them, and that puts you in the right position to bench the weight. "A common mistake Bell sees is that "when they're taking the bar off the rack, many lifters will push toward the guy who's helping them. If anything, you want to try to pull the bar out of the rack." When you take the bar off the rack, you bend your arms to bring the bar to your chest. Bell says to flex your chest as high as you can while keeping your lats tight. As you come out of the bottom of the bench, flare out your lats to recruit their maximum power. ========================================­===== | Bodybuilding.com | Sales & Specials ► http://bbcom.me/2q1djSY Fitness Articles ► http://bbcom.me/2q1p7Vq #1 Online Supplement Store ► http://bbcom.me/2q1os6y Free Fitness Plans ► http://bbcom.me/2q1dhKU #1 Women's Fitness Site ► http://bbcom.me/2q1ouvc ========================================­===== | Follow Us | Twitch ► http://bit.ly/2q1dttE YouTube ► http://bit.ly/1RSJFa4 Facebook ► http://on.fb.me/1lomhpr Instagram ► http://bit.ly/1LzBxab Twitter ► http://bit.ly/1RSJQlL Google+ ► http://bit.ly/1NRe8qu Pinterest ► http://bit.ly/1OOZgY4 Spotify ► http://spoti.fi/1NRebm0 We are Bodybuilding.com.
