My Top 5 Tips to Improve Your Bench Press Max
Bench Press is literally the Benchmark to gauge your Strength. I am going to share some cool tips I use to help my members increase their Bench Press faster.
Bench Press still remain the exercise to brag about and for good reason. It directly reflects how big and muscular your chest and shoulders look.
Simple Things you can do right now
Using the right technique is absolute key to press more. For example if you do not use all the muscles – both prime movers and stabilizers, how can you max your bench press? Lets see how you can increase bench press in your first workout.
1. Is your technique absolutely correct?
Making sure you are using a proper technique is vital if you want to improve your bench press. Some bodybuilders make the dangerous mistake of the wrong grip, which puts them at a high risk of injury and makes their efforts more difficult.
Avoid using what is known as the suicide grip at all times. To prevent this, make sure that your thumbs come up over the bar during your grip. Also, keep your feet planted firmly on the floor while you are doing your bench press. You can utilize your back, glutes, hamstrings, other muscle groups during your bench press when your feet are kept on the floor.
2. Sets and Reps are the key to press more
Always remember to record your sets and reps in every bench press workout. No point in repeating workouts with same poundage week after week just because you forgot to keep a weight training journal!
The heavier you lift, the more you grow.
3. Check if you are progressing as planned
Once you finish your weekly workout its time to check how you are doing. Set both weekly and monthly goals.
Use your journal to see if your current workout is helping you lift more.
4. Proper nutrition can help you bench harder week after week
Once your workout is done, its done to repair your torn muscles with high quality carbohydrates and proteins.
The best post workout nutrition is to consume a workout shake with 30 grams proteins and 50 grams carbohydrates or make one that contain the desired calories.
5. Grow Your Muscle While Resting
If you want to improve on bench press in your next workout then get some quality sleep of at least 7-8 hours every night.
This does not mean you have to stay away from the gym while you are in your rest period. Instead, work out different muscles each day. This way you will always have a muscle group that is ready to go every day you hit the gym.
So what are you waiting for champion. Go get that Bench press max.
