How To Kick Start Your Bench Press To New Heights In One Month

By Russ Howe


If you would like to learn how to increase your bench press fast then you are not unlike the vast majority of other men using gyms and leisure clubs around the world. Countless people have reached plateaus on their big lifts and have no idea how to break free from their current mire.

In today's post you will discover how to get around this issue. Furthermore, you'll learn how to do it in double-quick time!

We must begin by assessing what your actual problem is. Most guys don't take the time to do this, but it is vital if you ever want to correct the problem at hand. It's usually one of three things:

1. The muscles surrounding your chest are poorly developed.

2. A poor grip is letting you down.

3. Poor chest strength.

Once you have discovered which of the three aspects above is presenting the biggest issue, you can start working to correct it. Sorting out an issue when you don't actually know what the problem is can prove impossible, yet that's what most guys in the gym are trying to do. Look out for these issues next time you hit the gym. If you notice your grip losing tension first, there's your biggest issue...

Usually people find that they have a combination of more than one issue. Either way, it is good to know what you need to work at to reach further progress. Once you have identified the area which needs more work, you can begin sorting it out.

Many guys complain that their shoulders hurt while performing big pushing exercises which are intended to hit their pecs. This is largely due to having put too much weight on the bar and having underdeveloped shoulders which cannot assist enough. If that's your situation, you need to change your program because it is already unbalanced.

Grip-based strength work is very important and can often be overlooked by most men as they fail to do any kind of forearm work in their training routine. If you do not have a decent grip you will find any heavy load quite difficult to shift, because your forearms will give way a long time before your larger muscles reach exhaustion.

Plate grips, timed hangs and wrist curls are useful forearm exercises.

Finally, those who simply cannot lift a weight because the muscle has reached a sticking point also have a solution. If your chest simply cannot take any more weight and you don't have either of the other two issues mentioned above, you need to vary your chest training to spur new strength gains and muscle growth. There are numerous isolation exercises which can be used in that situation.

If you haven't already, you should begin adding in exercises such as dumbbell flyes, cable crossovers and techniques such as partial reps.

Learning how to increase your bench press fast can often become a game of opinion, with everybody using their own techniques to get themselves out of a hole from time to time. However, the 3 techniques shown to you today will work for the vast majority of individuals and offer the added benefit of yielding quick, consistent results.
