Bench press

numerous competitions and have had the opportunity to meet many others who belong to the same demographic. Therefore, I can testify that my goal is similar to that of the entire group. Our fundamental goal is to lift the most weight on the squat, bench press, deadlift, and the combined total of these three lifts. In order to reach that goal we utilize many forms of technology. I have categorized these forms of technology into three sections: technology within equipment, technology for safety, and technology

Even before I walk into the gym, I can hear grunting and weights slamming against the floor. As I walk over to the bench, in the air there is the smell of hard work, a combination of iron and sweat. The bench is covered with a layer of blue padding with slight tears starting to form from the constant use. I lie atop the bench and put my hands up and grip the barbell. Unracking the weight, the rough knurling begins digging into my hands, making my callouses even thicker. Drawing in a deep breath,

Everyone hates to gain a few pounds, especially if they were slim a few months ago, and what makes it worse is that summer is coming soon. As we can see, the cold weather is almost over and the warmer weather is almost here. The means that people are going to start going out to the pool, do things outdoors and have a good time. Although we enjoy doing all those things and having a good time, we want to be in shape and have a nice body. Now losing weight can take a few months, so it is recommended

Friday, December 11 2015 6pm i went to the Blink gym on Utica Ave. I have been working out at this gym for about a year.

Powerlifting Progression After enduring months of intense conditioning, the time came for us to see if our work paid off. It was testing week for varsity football and bench press day had arrived. I maxed-out at 335 pounds at the beginning of the year and I was looking to make some gains. I did my dynamic warm up and static stretches and hit a few reps of 300 pounds to stimulate blood flow. Routinely reaching for my weightlifting belt, I arrived at a dilemma. The belt evidently grew a conscience of

#1 – 10 Pull-Ups A pull-up is an excellent marker of upper body pulling strength, especially in relation to your own bodyweight. Completing 10 perfect pull-up reps from a dead hang to chin-over-the-bar is worthwhile goal. Losing body fat certainly helps make this goal easier. If you can already do 10 pull-ups, consider 15, or 20 pull-ups, or adding weight such as a weighted vest for a specified number of reps. Ladies who are not able to do any pull-ups can consider 1, or 3 pull-ups. #2 – 1 Muscle-Up

Some people like to use overhand monkey grip To hold the bar with the thumb on the same side as the other fingers rather than grasp around the bar. This is a bad idea for two reasons. When bench pressing, you're forced to tilt your hand back all the way to avoid having the bar roll out of your palm and decapitate you. Unfortunately, this means you'll have bone pressing against bone in your hand/upper arm, which can become quite painful if you make it a habit. Secondly, there's that tiny detail

One day I went to the park to play basketball on the basketball courts. I met up with some friends, and it was a beautiful day. It was a perfect day to play basketball on, it wasn’t too hot but wasn’t too cold. All of a sudden it started pouring rain, and at the park where we were there was no cover to cover yourself from the rain. So we ended getting all wet, and we ran to the nearest place which had a cover, which was Starbucks. So we stayed in Starbucks until it stopped raining. 2. One morning

back). After the legs are pulled back into a standing position the weight is dropped. In powerlifting there is the back squat, bench, strict curl, and deadlift. In the back squat the weight is on the back and the legs are bent to at least 90 degrees before coming back to the standing position and putting the weight back on the rack. In the bench the lifter lays on a bench and lifts the weight off of a rack then brings the weight down to the chest and pauses for a one second count before pushing the
