After coming off my best meet performance of my career, I am now officially a beat up powerlifter. I'm having some minor low back issues that I'm working on mending up, and then I'll begin to find a competitive option. My goals for 2017 are to compete in a bodybuilding show and also get back to the platform 100% healthy.

I work with quite a few clients that have issues with the bench press and some technical things that are just not the norm when it comes to pressing. Having an efficient and strong bench press is highly technical and just the smallest things can make a big difference under maximal loads.
In the video below, I discuss three things I commonly see within clients, at meets, and even within my own execution of the lift.
Hope you take something away and can immediately apply it to your training for a new PR soon!
As always, if you've got questions, just let me know.
