Bigger Bench Tips!!

[wnt2bBeast]

i can't believe the avatar's have that effect on people. and please take that self righteousness somewhere else i mean i could respect it if i thought it was true but seriously with those comments i hope that you've never been to a strip club or seen a porno in your life or continue to because if you do then you are a hipocrit. no reply needed

lets not make this a flame..bigdho and deva and his girl all said their piece..its dead now.. either we move on with this thread or let it die!!!!

you're right i apologize for contributing to the degradation of this thread nothing more will be said on the matter

On a general note, though, avatars can be turned off. I used to have them turned off because I often view this site from work and there's lots of nudity in avatars.

And, on a thread-related note, using leg drive will give you a bigger bench.

It is not necessary to use legs to get a big bench (big is obviously a relative term). I'm sure the guys that bench over 800 could bench double or triple what I bench with their legs in the air. BUT you WILL be able to bench more weight if you learn to use your legs correctly (and not lift your ass off the bench).

Keys to a big bench From my perspective...
As a powerlifter you keep the elbows in tight and bring the bar to top of abs this will allow the lat to flex harder and keep the bar in a straight line with the ulna and radius. Yes the stress is applied to the tris but the chest will do its share of work and the shoulder is not externally rotated which means the articular capsule is not stretched to close-pact position (most stable but if anything goes wrong here the capsule get damaged adn the muscle cannot compensate. Leg drive is very important so keep a tight arch with but firmly planted on bench and rive with leg on concetric phase. Westside approves of a speed day and a max effort day, I personally agree but other peopl have train differently with great success, metal militia_solid guys there. an work secondary muscles

As a non powerlifter the best way to incleas my bench was a lot of close-grip bencing, tons of Incline to bring up lagging shoulders and dips. Progressive resistance and tons of rotator work. Now I'm not a benching god but at 195-200 I have done 340 with full pause in comp raw, with no leg drive or arch-I am learning

so there is my 2cents

Lord suston,
I would have to agree with your 2cents worth. I probably am a tweener, a mix of powerlifting style and bodybuilding style of training. So many of my exercises are a mix match of the two.

Powerlifting would most likely, in turn, help bodybuilding. Plus, powerlifting style of bench will help to prevent injury.

This thread has confused me. To get a better bench I should put my girl's ass in my avatar?
