So for bench press, or dumbell bench press, you want you arms at ideally at 45 to 60 degrees. Any higher than that it's going to be your shoulders doing the work, any less than that your triceps are going to be doing more of the work. Also make sure you are going down at an angle to the bottom of your chest, not just straight up and straight down, and most importantly once you are doing all of that, pause at the bottom when you hit your chest for a half sec or a full second then push back up. It really helps the eccentric stretch when going down. Always be in control, if your form is teetering you are doing too much weight. Seanchan posted... With bench, Ive heard one way to think about it is to imagine that youre pushing yourself into the bench. Also, to feel like youre squeezing your pecs together near/at the top.These sound helpful. Thank you. --- darkx Games beaten in 2023 - 7; Most recent - Professor Layton and the Curious Village ... Copied to Clipboard! |
