Too Much Belly?? Anyone get the Brad Castleberry reference? Seated Overhead Dumbbell Tricep Ext. Focuses long head of the triceps. Helps arms look bigger. Can also help with lock-out issues on bench press. I am using a shortened motion to keep tension on the tricep. To focus on lock...

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.

It’s my 3-month trainerversary with Barton Bryan and here is my progress report. As a reminder, I spent the previous 12-months focused on weight reducation (60lbs/20 PBF reduction), Zone 2 fitness (95%+ percentile Vo2Max), improved diet-sleep-stress management, and gut biome. - Strength is way up on the major exercises we do weekly like Barbell Bench Press, Lat Pulldown, Leg press, and One Arm Dumbbell Rows. We’ve also put a major emphasis on developing core stability as I have scoliosis (19-degrees), spondylolisthesis, and an inguinal hernia. To counteract my asymmetrical mid-section, we focus on eccentric control, proper form, and not letting overcompensating creep in when pushing close to failure. - Along with the strength improvements and muscle growth, I’ve also see some nice aesthetic changes to my physique over the last three months. My chest and arms are fuller and more defined. My legs are slowly growing too although they are a bit more stubborn than the upper body. Here are some specific metrics: 15% strength increase on bench press in November, 33% strength increase overall on chest press and 1.75” added to chest/back. No added inches to waistline! 40% strength increase on leg press. - As Barton and I look ahead, I joke that when I bench 300 lbs, I’ll no longer require his coaching. I definitely feel like we are on a journey together to optimize my health, physique, and full potential (move over Bryan Johnson !!). Barton has advised me to be patient as the strength gains inevitably slow down a bit after the first three months of training and we build strong, foundational muscle mass for improved health span as Peter Attia says. I’m all in for the journey. Can’t wait to see what happens in the next 3-6 months! Enjoy one of my motivational songs when I workout.
