This article provides important technical nuances that will help power press enthusiasts to improve their technique and results in a single repetition.
How to lower the amplitude?
To lower the amplitude, you need to increase the grip. This is logical, because the wider the grip, the more weight is available to us. This means that we can work to the maximum. But there are cases when athletes did such a wide grip that they could not even move the barbell. That is why a maximum of 81 cm was introduced. A wide grip for a beginner is a very inconvenient activity, you need to get used to holding the bar in this way. Only high-quality and thorough training will help you perform the exercise correctly.
Once again, please note that the powerlifting bench press is different from the bench press in bodybuilding and other sports. It has its own characteristics, the main one of which is that the exercise is performed in competition. To perform this bench press as correctly as possible, we recommend doing the classic bench press in order to work out the chest muscles. Bench press as a competitive exercise can only be performed when the muscles are worked out and are able to lift the maximum weight.
We also recommend that you work through a few basic - basic - points in this exercise. These include the starting position, wide grip, elbow and body position (no bridge). And also pay attention to the trajectory of the arms and the direction of the gaze. The gaze should not wander. It is equally important to work out breathing, support on the legs and trunk.
