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!
