Episode 11: To Bench Or Not To Bench!
Manage episode 226439598 series 2444028
In this episode I talk about the king of all exercises, the bench press! I mainly focus on some of the criticisms of this exercise and discuss whether or not those criticisms are warranted.
Show Notes:
- There are no bad exercises, only bad applications
- You cannot say an exercise is contraindicated UNTIL you've qualified the athlete or client
- Common critiques of the bench press
- Training around injuries "general fitness clients vs. athletes"
- Importance of proper technique in the bench press
- Importance of upper back/lat development for the bench press
- Different ways to create muscular tension according to Dr. Zatsiorsky
- Why I use primarily the submaximal effort and repeated effort methods for pressing exercises with my grapplers and fighters
- Why and how I use partial range of motion exercises
If you have any questions, comments, or topic suggestions for future episodes please email me at scott@eptsgym.com and follow my online at www.eptsgym.com.
Stay Strong AND Healthy!
