But after many years as a personal trainer, I can tell you that <b>MOST<\/b>\u00a0people aren&#8217;t benching correctly.<\/p>\n<p><i>And the fix is so easy you can do it in 30 seconds or less<\/i><\/p>\n<p>The most common cause of poor bench press is ego, particularly with men. You must understand that in the bench press, you <b>NEED<\/b> the bar to touch your chest before driving it back upwards [1].<\/p>\n<p>Lots of guys don&#8217;t lower the barbell down to their chest because they are using a weight that is too heavy for them to achieve this.<\/p>\n<p>So instead, you get guys lowering the barbell until it is 2-3 inches above their chest before they push it back up.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"\">You are at your weakest when driving the barbell off your chest,<\/span>\u00a0and this is where you build the most muscle.<\/p>\n<p><b>So, the first thing that you need to do is to lower the weight until you can perform the full range of motion.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Before we move on to other tips, it is also important to mention bouncing. This is another common issue where people lower the weight down to their chest, and then bounce it off.<\/p>\n<p>Again, this is caused by using too much weight and using momentum to push the barbell rather than using your chest. When the barbell touches your chest, you want to pause, ever so slightly, before pushing the barbell up again.<\/p>\n<p>Lower the weight of the barbell until you can achieve this.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few other tips for improving your bench press and getting better muscle development.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tip_1_Foot_Placement\"><\/span><b>Tip #1 Foot Placement<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I&#8217;ve seen many people raise their feet off the ground when benching. Either intentionally, or unintentionally\u00a0when they are struggling with a weight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is not a good move as you get a lot of your power in the bench press from your legs. Imagine throwing a punch. If you were to do so with one foot off the ground your punch would be weaker, that&#8217;s because you would have less stability and therefore less power.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Place both feet flat on the ground when benching, and if you can, pull your feet backwards so that there is a bit of tension in your quads (thighs). Your heels can rise off the floor a bit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tip_2_Elbow_Placement\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tip #2 Elbow Placement<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is not so common anymore, but I still see it occasionally. Some people, when they bench, do it with their elbows out at 90 degrees from their sides. This puts a lot of pressure on your shoulders and weakens your lift.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Instead, you want your elbows to be at a 45-degree angle from your side. Again, imagine a knockout punch. You wouldn&#8217;t deliver it with your elbows high up in the air, they would be at a 45-degree angle from your body.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tip_3_Head_Placement\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tip #3 Head Placement<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">An easy fix. When lying down, make sure that your head does not rise off the bench during your lift. This happens to a lot of people, and all you have to do is focus on driving your head back into the bench.\u00a0<\/span>Again, this is all about stability which is crucial for power.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So that&#8217;s five ways to fix your bench press in under 30 seconds:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Lower the weight so that you can perform a full range of motion<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Don&#8217;t bounce the weight, focus on controlled movement<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Keep your feet on the ground<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Keep your elbows at a 45-degree angle from your sides<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Keep your head flat on the bench<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">All of these tips will also work for dumbbell bench presses. But you can also keep them in mind when using a chest press machine. Be consistent, look to slowly increase the weight you lift, but never sacrifice your form when chasing a heavier weight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Good luck!<\/span><\/p>\n\r\n    <!-- VITALITY CTA-->\r\n    <style media=\"screen\">\r\n    .reviews--advert--v2 {\r\n      margin-top: 1.5rem;\r\n      margin-bottom: 1.5rem;\r\n\t\t}\r\n    .reviews--advert--v2 .vitality-bottle {\r\n      max-width: 100%;\r\n      width: 100%;\r\n    }\r\n    @media screen and (min-width: 1024px) {\r\n      .reviews--advert--v2 .vitality-bottle {\r\n        max-width: unset;\r\n        width: 150%;\r\n      }\r\n    }\r\n    <\/style>\r\n    \r\n    <div class=\"reviews--advert--v2\">\r\n      <div class=\"columns is-centered is-vcentered\">\r\n        <div class=\"column is-full-mobile is-3-tablet\">\r\n          <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.primemale.com\/static\/frontend\/Roarambition\/Primemale\/en_US\/images\/homepage\/prime-male-with-shadow.png\" alt=\"Prime Male Vitality Product Bottle\" class=\"product vitality-bottle\" style=\"\">\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"column is-full-mobile is-8-tablet\">\r\n          <h3 class=\"has-text-weight-bold is-size-small zmb\">Prime Male Vitality<\/h3>\r\n\t\t      <p class=\"grey-text is-relative is-marginless is-size-xxsmall\">The Only Testosterone Booster for Men Over 40 with a Clinically Proven Formula to Restore Muscle Strength, Energy and Libido.<\/p>\r\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/www.primemale.com\/order#PM03F1\" class=\"btn btn--redgradient is-uppercase zmb\">Order Now<\/a>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  \n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"References\"><\/span>References<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>[1] <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/31567719\/\">https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/31567719\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, we looked at whether napping was beneficial for people.
