Are you struggling to increase your bench press? Is your upper body getting beat up in the process? If your bench press doesn't have proper leg drive, you're leaving half of your body out of the lift and holding yourself back from heavier weight and new PRs. In his second installment of his Friday technique videos, JL Holdsworth shows how to set up to maximize leg drive in your bench press. Holdsworth claims that setting up properly, as he shows in the video, could increase your numbers by 10 to 15 percent.
Holdsworth covers how to:
1. Get tight before unracking the bar2. Place feet to allow drive without raising your hips
3. Fully engage leg drive at the proper time
4. Push with your heels from a tucked position
5. Decrease range of motion in shoulder to prevent injury
