One of the biggest bench press technique problems I see...

Losing the "tightness" at the top of the rep by protracting the shoulder blades too much.

This sets you up for problems,
both in terms of
- shoulder health
- and strength

One of the easiest ways to fix this bench press technique problem -

is to think about pushing yourself away from the bar, as opposed to pushing the bar away from you.

It will get you into the "ground yourself" frame of mind and ensure that the upper back is a stable platform from which you press.

Try it out.

This simple detail fix in your bench press technique will drastically improve your overall bench press strength.

Till next time!
