The bench press is the "sacred goal" of all weight lifting works out. At the point when you hear weight trainers or muscle heads examining their gym routine daily practice with each other, perhaps the earliest thing you generally hear is them discussing the amount they can seat press. The amount you can seat press is something that we "fitness junkies" invest heavily in. While it means a lot to propel yourself to boost your capacities - it is more vital to play it safe so you don't wind up on some unacceptable side of a terrible physical issue.

1. NEVER lift without a spotter.

Regardless of whether you are lifting somewhat light weight, it is critical to start having a spotter present with you bench press. The spotter ought to put two hands solidly on the bar when you life the load off, and not discharge until it is 100 percent clear that you have control of the seat press bar. Regardless of whether you are lifting light weight for your solidarity level, it is not difficult to have a hand slip or even a shoulder/elbow give out. The seat press is a truly overwhelming activity, and a ton of things can get harmed during the development. The seat press puts a ton of weight on chest area joints so having a spotter around consistently is totally fundamental!

One more great guideline is to know your spotter, and attempt to lift with a similar individual like clockwork. In the event that you request that a more unusual spot you, you are taking a risk since you don't have the foggiest idea about their experience level and they don't have the foggiest idea how much weight you're familiar with lifting.

If for some explanation you are seat squeezing without anyone else, make a point to do as such on a "power rack." Most rec centers have power racks and they contain security sticks that get the bar on the off chance that it ends up dropping. Make a point to set the self locking nail to the power rack so it doesn't impede your redundancies on the way down

2. Continuously wear exercise gloves.

A portion of the bars become extremely smooth when they are worn, and on the off chance that your hands begin to perspire they can turn out to be exceptionally tricky. A decent sets of exercise gloves will give you an iron hold on the bar, in addition to a pleasant mental lift to lift more weight too. At the point when you are endeavoring to lift significant burden on the seat press, a decent sets of exercise gloves is critical. Wearing gloves is an incredible protection measure to take, and ought to dispense with any sort of hand slippage on the bar.

3. Make sure you've stretched.

Take the time to get your entire upper body loose before jumping on the bench. You should stretch out your shoulders, back, chest and legs, as all of these muscle groups are involved in the movement. Many injuries can be avoided by understanding and practicing this often overlooked step.

4. KNOW YOUR LIMITATIONS!

I feel compelled to pressure this as much as possible. We as a whole vibe like Superman on occasion in the exercise center and figure we can push it farther than we at any point have. Most of all wounds have happened when individuals are endeavoring to life more weight than they ever have previously. On the off chance that the most weight you have at any point endeavored to seat press in 250 lbs., don't be the blockhead who endeavors to lift 285 lbs. what's more, winds up with a torn pectoral muscle or has the bar viciously dropped on your chest. Endeavoring to lift even 25 lbs. more on the seat press than you have at any point done is genuinely requesting, and the vast majority misjudge this. To endeavor a one rep seat press max, don't go in excess of 5 lbs. over your ongoing greatest lift at a time. In the event that you complete the lift going up 5 lbs., you can attempt to lift 5 lbs. more - yet NEVER without a spotter.
