Top 5 Big Benching Tips by George Halbert!
George Halbert is a living iron game legend. He is a former world record bencher in multiple weight classes (from 198 to 242 lbs). He also was the greatest bencher ever by coefficient while in the 220 lbs class (this is particularly impressive due to the fact that the top coefficient lifters are usually in the lightest weight classes). George currently trains at the vaunted Westside Barbell.

Ten Bench Press Tips for a BIG Bench Press by Mike Wolfe
10. Squeeze your shoulder blades together
This has the dual purpose of shortening the range of motion (ROM) and creating a solid base to press from. You can get a visual of the ROM shortening by placing your hands on a wall as though you were going to perform a pushup. As you squeeze your shoulder blades together you will see that you get closer to the wall. Begin with just the bar and add weight as you acclimate to the technique.

I love all strength sports. Weightlifting is one of my favs, but I also love the raw brutality of power-lifting, or is it Powerlifting. Heheh. Anyway, I think these photos from a recent competition look tremendous. These pics make you want to either grab a barbell and go to town, or run in the opposite direction when you see one!
