The Muscle-Building Discovery For Massive Calves: Transform Those Young Calves Into Full-Grown Cows!
There are many common bench press mistakes HGH-X2 lifters make that seriously hold them back from benching more weight, and greatly increase their chance of injury. The good news is that most of these common mistakes are easily corrected! Let's discuss a few of the HUGE problems you need to correct.
Seriously... do NOT bench press without a spotter! You are just asking for trouble. As you start to progress towards heavier weights, a spotter will be mandatory so get in the habit of ALWAYS bench pressing with a spotter regardless of how light you go.
This is something I see almost every time I go to the gym. Some young weight lifter slamming and bouncing the bar off their chest. You are bench pressing to improve your muscular development in your upper body and get stronger, not to see how much momentum you can get while slamming the bar off your chest. Challenge yourself and don't cheat your reps! You aren't reaping all of the amazing benefits of the bench press by bouncing it off your chest.Another one of my pet peeves! Watch someone do this next time they are lifting heavy weight - you can see the strain on their lower back! This is one of the easiest ways to seriously injure your lower back, so make sure to NEVER lift your butt off the bench when you are pressing up.
The bench press is the "holy grail" of all weight training exercises. When you hear weight lifters or gym rats discussing their workout routine with one another, one of the first things you always hear is them talking about how much they can bench press. How much you can bench press is something that we "gym rats" take great pride in. While it is important to push yourself in order to maximize your abilities - it is more important to take the proper precautions so you don't end up on the wrong side of a horrific injury.
