I was at my gym yesterday and I overheard a conversation between a personal trainer and a college football player. The football player said that his trainer at school told him that if he squeezes his butt cheeks together while he is benching it will make him lift more. Then he goes on to say that his bench has went up like 15 pounds in 2 weeks because of that. Anybody EVER heard of this or is this one of those everybody already knows but me kind of things.
squeeze your shoulder blades together, iv'e heard. your butt cheeks :scratch: :lol:
It's probably because when you "squeeze" or flex your butt cheeks, your hips will elevate causing you to bench more, other than that, it make no sense!
Did he follow to say that he needed to grab his buttcheeks everytime to make sure that they were tight enough????
Maybe thats how they do it in prison ;) lol... Id be more worried about dead lifts lol.. haha I have never heard that before man
Hey I do butt squeezes and raises on the bench quite frequently:) but it is not for increasing my bench lol.
Hey I do butt squeezes and raises (pelvic tilt) on the bench quite frequently:) but it is not for increasing my bench lol.
Maybe this was a weird way of saying to drive with your legs when you are benching.
