Bench Press Tip - STICKING POINT Eliminator!!

From the creator

Stop holding back your gains - http://athleanx.com/x/workout The bench press is by far one of the most popular chest exercises and overall strength exercises around. Guys often pride themselves on how much they bench press. That said, from my experience as a strength coach I can tell you that most guys are capable of lifting much more on their bench (and therefore seeing better chest and upper body muscle gains) with the right attention to the most important part of the lift. I'm talking about the sticking point! The sticking point of the bench press exercise is the part of the movement in the first few inches of the bar when it's being pressed back off the chest. In this part of the bench press rep, the muscles are at their biggest mechanical disadvantage and often times succumb to the forces of gravity that stops the bar dead in its tracks. In order to overcome the sticking point, and therefore bench press more weight, you have to get that bar moving faster so that it never slows down enough to stop in the first place. Enter accelerative training or compensatory accelerative training. CAT trains your type II muscle fibers to become more explosive and reactive. When you train your type II fibers more, your ability to add lean muscle is increased. On the bench press, this translates into you benching more weight, getting a bigger chest, and getting a stronger bench press overall.
