Being one of the primary lifts, the bench press can be a great way to build out your chest. Here are a few tips for using this lift effectively to maximize results. 1.) Bench Press First Performing other weight lifting exercises that use the same muscle groups as benching can cause the muscles to fatigue, thus making you weaker on the bench press. The solution is to make the bench press the first weight lifting exercise in your workout. 2.) Retract Shoulder Blades - Stick Your Chest Out Bringing your shoulder blades together will naturally bring your chest out. This essential bench press tip has three beneficial effects: - Stable Foundation. First, your shoulder blades and the surrounding upper back muscles give you a solid foundation off of which to push. - Shorter Range of Motion. Second, the combination of retracted scapulae, a flexed upper back and a puffed out chest decreases the distance you need to push the barbell. - Shoulder Health. Finally, you save your shoulder joints and scapulae from injury; leaving your shoulders protracted with scapula hanging all willy-nilly can only lead to shoulder issues down the road. 3.) Don't Skip Leg Day Your legs are the largest muscles in your body, which is why you should use them when you bench. Add more pounds instantly to your bench by trying to extend your legs once you have planted your feet. If you are doing it right it will feel like you are sliding up the bench when you are lying down. The force that you generate with your legs will translate into the bar during your set.

Sometimes called 'Battling Ropes' or 'Battle Ropes', these exercises are great for building up your stamina while working each arm independently, helping you overcome any training/strength differences you may find between your Left and Right side. There are three common exercises that one can perform with battle ropes: the wave, slams, and pulls. - The Wave is where one makes a continuous wave with the ropes. - Slams are similar to making the wave, except the rope is slammed each time. - Pulls are when one pulls the rope towards oneself, either simultaneously or alternatively. There are TONS of other exercises that work various muscles of the body. Example: Moving the ropes side to side will work out the hips and core to improve total body stability, whereas moving the ropes in circles will increase shoulder range of motion.
