Teaching ONE thing gives the lifter an 87% chance of remembering it.

Today's lesson (as it was last week as well) Grip the bar much tighter than you think is necessary. Why? You may ask??

Put your elbow in a 90-degree bend while wearing a short sleeve shirt. Squeeze a ball, or another person's hand, and watch all of your upper arm tense up.

THAT tightness or increased tension will translate into your push while benching.

Go ahead! Give it a try and tell me you don't feel the "extra" strength.
