Workout Bench

Workout Bench

I hate it when I start talking to people about health, fitness and weight loss and of course we get on the subject about lifting weights and the first thing they ask me is: "How much lift? "

In the maintenance guys usually means how did you develop lying, at least that's what it means here on the east coast. But if you dissect the issue, you could easily respond, "What up? or "what do you mean? Because the issue is so generic. So next time someone asks you this question tell them how much you bench press. Ok that my rant is for the moment.

I wanted to put an emphasis today on the bench and why it's good exercise to the pectoral (chest) muscles. It is without doubt one of the most popular exercises in the gym. I can only think of arm curls as possibly one more year popular, but I highly doubt it.

All you need do is walk into an LA Fitness or Bally's and count the number of benches and see that they are always full of what I mean. Did you know however that there are other variants of the flat bench press? Most people do done on a flat bench, but with a really good bench you can add angles to your routine.

As a side note There are two ways to the bench and that is that you could do the regular bench routine with one or Olympic style bar or dumbbells. I prefer dumbbells As you work as stabilizers as well.

If you belong to a gym then you have already different banks there. These are benches that you can set for a slope or position of hindsight. If you are looking to add a bench to your gym at home be sure to get a bench that you can change its position relative to that which is just a flat bench.

By adjusting your bench to an incline or decline position you work your chest muscles from different angles. Chances are at least working in odd angles to your job, you never worked your chest muscles in this way.

These different variations are an excellent way to maximize your chest workout. Most banks have a variety of levels, ranging from a slight change in angle of a severe change. Obviously, the closer you move towards the seriousness of the harder you work, like increasing the slope on a treadmill.

The next time you make your bench press to change the angles a bit and make them work differently to really get those muscles pumping.
