World's #1 Bench-Presser, training

[overhead]

I seem to have trouble remembering to squeeze and pull the bar apart, but I got my mini-bands in the mail yesterday. Hopefully they will help me solve that problem.

right after I take a breath I squeeze and go. Helps me remeber to do it since I associated it with my breathing.

In MMag Scot says he only does 1 board presses.

I think Scott uses a 4x4 which is equivalent to a 2-board.

Squeezing also get everything tighter and my arms feel like springs.

You're right. I missed that.

You mean just Squeeze the bar tight (death grip) will activate the triceps more???

I have tried to pull the bar apart and that is simply an issue of REMEMBERING to do that.

I was not very fond of wrapping mini bands across my hands to try to force myself to pull the bar apart. That was just a personal comfort issue.

Will do people !!!

Thanks,

The same grip you use the first time you handle a grenade, death grip.

Ah the good old days.

try thinking about bending the bar, while squeezing, rather than puling it apart. I find the bending idea effective.

ALSO SCOTT SAYS TO Pull your feet back so you're pushing from the BALLS (of the feet). USAPL doesn't allow this, they officially demand a flat-footed position.
J.M. Blakely's super tape also advocates balls of feet. When will USAPL catch on?
