| | Bodybuilding Universe - Routines |
 | | Pressing behind the neck is often viewed as dangerous, and this is true: if the athlete does not maintain adequate flexibility in the shoulders, strength in the external rotators, and a certain amount of flexibility in the chest. | | | Pressing from the pins at chest level can work the start of the bench as well, but it is difficult to recruitment maximal power from the torso, as there is no stretch reflex, and no resulting tension. | | | Bench assistance work will be divided into several basic categories, with a general discussion about the effects of each category of exercises, with extra discussion for specific functions of individual exercises if necessary. |

| | Bench Press Barrier |
| | Many lifters, who have been benching incorrectly or with a form not suited to their body type, can increase their bench press by 20 to 30 pounds just by working on technique. | | | They have developed such an overtrained movement pattern that there is no way they will ever make any more progress on their bench press. | | | When it comes to bench pressing, triceps strength is equally as important as chest strength. |

| | Bench Press |
| | Your lats are involved in the bench press to a greater degree than you might think. | | | With a few small changes in your technique, a good dose of hard work and some patience, a 300, 400, or even 500-pound bench press is within your reach. | | | This is not to say you should never bench quickly with no pause, but training with the brief pause eliminates the momentum, overloading the target muscles more effectively. |

| | Bench Press |
| | The pressing phase concludes with the arms fully extended and the elbows locked. | | | Also, the rotator cuff and biceps work as shoulder stabilizers and are slightly strengthened with the bench press. | | | The athlete should inhale as the bar is lowered to the chest. |

| | Since the bench press is the most effective way to train the muscles you need for a big bench it will be the only exercise you use in your training. | | | Remember only the bench press works these muscles exactly the way they are needed for the competition. | | | The use of so many reps will also improve your neuromuscular coordination and therefore your bench press technique. |

| | Testosterone Nation - Bench Press 600 Pounds - A 12 Step Program |
| | The bench is only so wide and we can't change this, but we can change how we position ourselves on the bench. | | | If I were to bench the way most trainers are advocating (with my elbows out, bringing the bar down to the chest and pressing toward the rack) my barbell travel distance would be 16 inches. | | | This is easy to see by watching how low the elbows drop in the bottom part of the press when the barbell is on the chest. |

| | Bench Press, proper technique |
| | Do not relax and drop the weight on the chest but lower it with complete control making a definite pause at the chest before pressing it back to the starting position. | | | Inhale as the barbell is lowered to the chest and exhale as you push the barbell back to arm's length. | | | Using a hand grip that is about 6 inches wider than your shoulder width, bring the barbell to arms length above the chest but in line with the shoulders. |

| | Bench press - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In powerlifting, however, where the focus is to achieve a single very heavy repetition, the differing technique ensures the force for a bench press is exerted by the triceps, anterior deltoids and the lattisimus dorsi - the pectorals have a greatly reduced role. | | | It is properly performed while lying on one's back with one's shoulder blades pinched together on a specially designed bench with a weighted barbell suspended on a rack over one's chest. | | | The physical exercise is one of the three powerlifting events, and also used in bodybuilding as a chest and tricep exercise requiring a great deal of stabilizers. |

| | The Bench Press Specialization for Mass training program was designed by QUESTFORMUSCLE.COM’s Director of Training Alfonso Duran in response to the overwhelming demand of countless athletes that had reached a sticking point in there training, and were unable to make there chests grow to the level of development that they had dreamed of. | | | By increasing the work loads and controlling the rest periods between sets in this fashion, the intensity of your chest workout is raised through the roof, and it is this intensity that is responsible for producing the overwhelming response of muscular growth in your chest. | | | However, we recommend that the weight training athlete have a minimum bench press strength of 225 lbs for 1 repetition, regardless of their bodyweight. |

| | It is essential that each person determine optimal bench press range of motion for his or her own shoulders, as each person is different. | | | Unfortunately, over-emphasis on the bench press often coupled with poor technique has led to a high incidence of shoulder injuries in both athletes and non-athletes. | | | It is an exercise for improving the size and/or strength of the chest, anterior deltoids and triceps, nothing else. |

| | Roll your shoulders back and down so the shoulder blades are firmly pressed against the bench and the chest is sticking up. | | | This works the upper area of the chest and the anterior or front part of the deltoids better than the flat bench. | | | The wider the grip the more the outer area of the chest is worked. |

| | One Giant Lift for Mankind By Josh Levin |
| | The bench shirt—which comes in denim or polyester—has arms that jut out zombielike, perpendicular to the chest. | | | Because bench shirts severely restrict movement, lifters must practice and memorize an incredibly precise sequence of steps to bring the weight from the chest to lockout. | | | Inzer says the bench shirt "brings out the deeper strength of a lifter." Powerlifting traditionalists and scientists think the opposite. |
