Bench Press!! Proper form involves lying on a bench, keeping feet flat, retracting shoulder blades, and lowering the bar to the nipple line. Key safety measures include using a spotter, avoiding excessive back arching, and keeping elbows tucked to prevent shoulder injuries Stay Stronk!! #benchpress #gaybear

Getting in extra reps at the end of the workout!! Stay Stronk!! The incline press, typically done with dumbbells or a barbell at a 15–45 degree angle, targets the upper pectorals, shoulders, and triceps, making it superior for building upper chest volume. Proper form requires a 30° angle, neutral wrists, controlled lowering to the upper chest, and avoiding excessive back arching. #strengthtraining #gaybear

1. Bench Press. Muscles: Chest. You cannot train chest without the classic bench press. Steps: • Lie flat on a bench, grip the bar slightly wider than shoulder-width. • Lower the bar to mid-chest with control. • Press up until arms fully extend. • Repeat for desired reps.

Larry Wheels breaks it down in a 1-MINUTE masterclass on how to BENCH PRESS with perfect form 😳👀 "When you bench press, try to break the bar here, beneath the nipple line, okay? Bring it down here on top of your sternum." "Tuck the elbows, right? Just slightly. Don't overdo it. You want to be in the middle of flared." "And then when you press, don't push away from you, right? You want to push up and right over your eye line."

I love preacher curls because you get a mix of stability with the bench and instability of the bar. Stick your upper arms on the bench to make the most of your sets instead of using it as a way to rest your elbows and swaying back and forth to move the weight! #FursuitFriday

Bench Press 4x8 @ 225 lbs To ensure my shoulder health have not been increasing the weight. Instead have been increasing the reps. Once I get to 4x12 @ 225 will perform an AMRAP on the last set and for each rep over 12 will add 1% of 225 to the next workout and start over at 4sets x 8 reps. Stay Stronk!! #strengthtraining #gaybear

Wide Grip Tricep Extensions, targets the long head of the Tricep (the one closest to your body and rund to the top of the tricep) Using a wider-than-shoulder grip, keep elbows fixed at your sides and fully extend the arms, squeezing the triceps at the bottom. I have a little too much elbow movement here. Stay Stronk!! #strengthtraining #gaybear

“Bench press” and “shoulder pain” are often heard together in the same sentence, and for a good reason. However it doesn’t have to be that way. Here’s a good way to stay healthy for longer while still benching frequently and heavy

Barbell Row Rings on my back are from cupping / massage 😊 The barbell row is a compound strength exercise targeting the back (lats, rhomboids, traps, rear delts) by hinging at the hips and pulling a barbell toward the torso. It builds a thick, strong back and enhances posture. Proper form requires a flat back, engaged core, and pulling toward the belly button at a 30–45° angle. Stay Stronk!! #strengthtraining #gaybear

Struggling to improve your bench press? Here’s how to identify and fix your weaknesses to increase your bench Let’s start with some form tips Big Arch - Retract your shoulder blades and drive your traps into bench by digging them into the pad. Maintain that tightness throughout the duration of the lift Bend the Bar - Act like you’re trying to bend the bar before you lift off. This causes you to externally rotate elbows to engage your lats which is crucial for a heavy bench Deep Breath - Take a deep breath before lift off and hold it in until you lift the bar where you’ll blow the air out on the way up Keep wrists straight - Wrap up your wrists tight with some wrist wraps. Don’t let wrists go limp on the concentric (lifting portion of the press). You’re losing poundage if you do Lower the bar with control - This is where lats and rear delts come into play. Nice and controlled descent and hit just below pecs Keep the arch - don’t let the bar sink into your chest and lose your arch. Keep air in and core tight the entire lift. This shortens the range of motion and allows you to stay tight and in control of the bar Leg drive and act like you’re standing up off the bench - As you explode up, drive your feet and push the bar back as if you’re trying to stand up off the bench. Weak off the chest? Likely an issue with pec strength. Here’s some exercises to help with that: -Pause Bench (1-3 seconds) -Wide Grip Bench -Incline Barbell Press -Spoto Presses -Weighted Dips -DB Flat/Incline Presses Weak with the lockout portion of the lift? Likely a weakness in your triceps or shoulders. Exercises to help with that: -Close Grip Bench -Board Presses -Pin Presses -Floor Presses -Skullcrushers -Weighted Dips -Military Presses -Slingshot Press -JM Presses -Overhead Presses Few other pieces of advice: 1) Get that back as big and strong as you can! Makes it a helluva lot easier to control the weight and add stability if our lats can support the weight. This will also carry over into your squat and deadlift. Row, row, and then row some more. Pullups/Pulldowns like crazy especially before you bench to get blood flowing back there which will help you feel and engage your lats before you lift. 2) Get a mini bicep pump from some curls before you press. Nothing heavy but having some blood in the biceps can help with tendonitis issues and help protect your joints. 3) Warm up the shoulders using a resistance band to get blood flowing to the rear delts and loosen up the shoulders. Take a foam roller and scrub the hell out of your lats as well to loosen up your shoulders.

Bench press leg lifts is one of my favorites, but it’s not for beginners and safer with a spotter or Smith machine Requires perfect form, not heavy weight Benefits: •Increased Core Activation ◦With your legs elevated, your core muscles (abs, obliques, and lower back) have to work harder to stabilize your body since you're removing the leg drive and base of support. •Improved Stability and Balance ◦Keeping your legs up forces you to stabilize the bar without relying on your feet, potentially improving overall motor control and muscle coordination. •Isolation of Chest and Upper Body ◦By removing leg drive and lower-body assistance, the bench press becomes more of an upper-body isolation exercise, increasing the challenge to your chest, shoulders, and triceps. •Preventing Cheating via Leg Drive ◦Some people arch excessively or use their legs to bounce the bar off the chest. Lifting the legs removes this possibility, enforcing stricter form (but at the cost of decreased total power).

Romanian Deadlift, used straps because I was having pain inmy right hand. Straps also let you focus on the main lift and not hand fatigue. To perform a Romanian Deadlift (RDL) correctly, start standing with feet hip-width apart, holding a barbell or dumbbells. Hinge at the hips by pushing your glutes backward while keeping a flat back, slight knee bend, and the weight sliding down your legs. Lower until you feel a deep hamstring stretch. Stay Stronk!! #strengthtraining #gaybear

You’d basically have to be INSANE to pick a Flat Barbell Bench Press over this Machine unless you’re A. Choosing the Flat Barbell Bench Press for ego-related reasons (this is mostly silly) B. Planning on competing in powerlifting in the near term NO BRAINER decision otherwise

My parents brought me to this country as an infant in search of a better life. That’s what America is all about. Rep. Nancy Mace’s proposed constitutional amendment to bar naturalized citizens from serving in Congress, on the federal bench, and in Senate-confirmed positions is morally wrong. We must stand shoulder-to-shoulder against the bigotry and hate behind it.
