🔸HOW TO ARCH FOR A STRONG BENCH PRESS - by 🔸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Partnered up with who is a triple Powerlifting All Time World Record holder and has amazing knowledge about the bench press! I am very excited to present you guys our collaborative work about how to arch and utilize your feet during the bench press for maximum strength and shoulder safety.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📝 Emily’s magic sauce allowing her to bench impressive weights is her strong arch. This is something you’d wanna bring to perfection if you are looking into maximizing your bench press.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➕The most common fault when it comes to arching in the bench press is an arch at the lumbar spine which usually leads to not having contact to the bench with the butt and besides endangering your lower back won’t lead to the desired stability that we aim to achieve for the lift. A stable and safe arch is achieved at the thoracic spine!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➕ Arching is deeply connected with leg drive: pushing the legs down will send the butt into the air, and usually leads to the just discussed lumbar spine arch whereas utilizing leg drive to “push the lower body towards the upper body” helps us achieve a good thoracic arch.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➕ Reteacting your scaps keeps the arch tight and high and your shoulder joints stable and safe throughout the lift. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔈Tag a friend who doesn’t know how to properly arch!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

post: most days I don’t feel like going to the anymore. I don’t think I’ve enjoyed for a while now. Chalk it up to , , growing up, whatever - point is, have been sparse and sloppy lately. Here’s something people don’t tell you about passions and hobbies: you won’t love them every single day. In fact, some days you may be sick of them and wish you could be doing something else, and that’s perfectly natural. Nonetheless, I still keep going in when I can as I hope that eventually the motivation will return and thus so will my strength. It has yet to happen but until then here is a video of 297 lbs for sets of 3.
