5 Mistakes Beginners Make With the Bench Press


Hi guys.Today i update 5 Mistakes Beginners Make With the Bench Press.

         This is just a short article on common mistakes beginners (and sometimes more experienced lifters) make with the bench press. The bench press probably the most popular chest exercise and for a good reason,but you should make sure you get it right. Avoid these mistakes and you will see your strength get a nice boost.

1. Not keeping the feet planted on the ground

             Your feet should be planted firmly on the floor. Flat. Not just lightly planted but driven into the ground like they’re drill bits. Push yourfeet into the ground hard, especially when lifting the bar up.

2.Thinking of the exercise as lifting the bar up

        Yeah, I know you’re supposed to be lifting the bar but you should think of it as you trying to push yourself away from the bar rather than thinking of it as you lifting the bar up. This visualisation technique is a much better way and you’ll be surprised how much of a difference this makes.

3.Having too narrow a grip on the bar

      Get a wider grip

4.Not gripping the bar hard enough

       The name of the game is tension and if you don’t fully take advantage of this you’re missing out. Squeeze the bar like you want to crush that S.O.B. That tension will spread to the restof your body making you squeeze out more strength.

5.Not tensing the abs

         Tense the abs and try and generate a lot of contraction there for a super power boost.

I wound up wasting my time, even though there were some gains they were not enough for me and the funny thing is I did not even know what it was I wanted.            I heard a saying once, it went like this: “The road to somewhere goes to a town called nowhere”. To you and me this means that if we go to the gym without knowing what it is that we want to get out of it, we wont get anywhere.            There is a technique that will guarantee that you will build more muscle on your body if youstick to it, so here it is (I actually can’t guarantee it because 99% of the results depend on YOU). 1. Decide      Decide what you want to get, be specific, for example “I want to gain 20 lbs of lean muscle mass” (9 kgs ac...
