Bench Press

Benchers around the world are known to try various ways so as to bench press more and more. One method which we suggest to every bencher is the “reverse grip bench press” method. By using this method benchers are able to bring the weight down to their lower stomachs and hence they aren’t required to press the weight too far. One famous bencher who used to use this technique was Anthony Clark. He used to bench regular with reverse grip and hence was easily able to out perform other benchers. This reverse grip method can easily injure the bench pressers and same is the reason why reverse grip has been banned by many organizations.

We do not recommend you to use reverse grip in order to achieve physical strength. You will hurt yourself due to this and it is banned too. And the most important reason being it will consume too much time before you become an expert with this “banned” reverse grip method.

The grip with your thumbs pointing out is called the false grip. This grip goes well with its name and it is suggested that people avoid this too. With this false grip your triceps, forearms, and your fibres won’t get activated. Also, you might injure yourself while using false grip. Stats says that mostly lifter were hurt because they were using the false grip and so it is recommended that you stay away from such grips. Hold your bar properly so as to hold on to your health!

The best suggested way is to use regular grip and do hold the weight firmly. This way you won’t get hurt and will gain strength quickly.
