With the right training, it is possible to increase your overall strength on top of how much you are able to bench. Here are a few steps on how to achieve that bigger and stronger bench.
Exercise the rotator cuff Rotator cuffs are important group of muscles that can help to maximize on your bench press. These play an important role on the internal as well as the external rotation of humorous and flexion and extension of arms as well as abductions & adduction of arms. These actions all have a role in the bench press actions. If you consider this for a moment and analyses the bench press, you will realize that the movement usually start from the shoulder joint in the position that is flexed as well as adducted position. As you get through the eccentric phase of this exercise, you will transfer from the positions into abducted and extended positions. You should remember that the muscles that are responsible for the actions are usually smaller as compared to the prime movers in the bench press as well as the assisting muscles, anterior deltoid and triceps. You should remember that the group of muscles that are responsible for the actions are usually smaller as compared to the bench press prime movers(pectoarals majors) or even the helping muscles, anterior deltoid and triceps. By exercising the rotator cuff muscles, this will make it possible for you to control more exercise during the workouts. Importance of strong triceps If you would like to achieve the strong bench, strong triceps are usually good. After all these are what is available for the lock out phase in the movement. When you use similar movements to increase the triceps’ strength, this will be quite helpful. You can use the lose-grip bench press to increase your range of motion in the elbow joint during the phase of locking out and this will help to maximize the number of motor units that are being used in completing the movement.
