Hi all,
Want to ask about Bench Press. When i try to increase my weight, I can't balance the barbell during the lift. Any other tips beside squeeze your shoulder blade during Bench press? p/s: i only bench 60lbs. So little only. |

Thanks for vid BlueBean.
I figured that change my BenchPress style like powerlifter style make it easy to balance. Now increased to 90lbs edi. Fuh. It's quite hard without spotter. |

QUOTE(mikehuan @ Jun 19 2012, 09:28 AM) Why lift like a powerlifter? Sure you get to lift more but your objctive is to isolate your chest right? Agree. The lift didnt isolate my chest so much. Thanks mike for that guide. I admit that my arm strength was not strong. Will try that for sure!If you find it hard to balance its your arm strength or stabilizers. Go do db presses for a few weeks and your balance should improve  |
