🔸ARM ANGLES INFLUENCE MUSCLE PROMINENCE IN THE FLAT DB BENCH PRESS - by @breitfit🔸 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📝 I can’t stress enough how important it is to regularly tweak your exercises in order to keep progressing. A great way to tweak your bench press is switching from barbells to dumbbells regularly. But it doesn’t stop here. Just as vary grip width in the barbell bench press you can also adjust your dumbbell bench press by using different grips (supinated, pronated and neutral) as well as different arm angles. Even though you will always recruit all the relevant muscles that are involved in pressing, shifting arm angles (and grips) will make a difference regarding which muscle group gets more emphasis (which matters mostly in the lower position of the lift). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ➕ When pressing around 70 degrees you will have a lot of emphasis on the sternocostal head of your Pectoralis Major muscle (= middle chest). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ➕ When operating at an angle lower than 50 degrees emphasis shifts to the Anterior Deltoid, clavicular head of the Pectoralis Major (upper chest), and Triceps. Another benefit of this arm angle is an increased mobility of your shoulders in this position as well as less stress on these joints. This is why (dumbbell) bench pressing with smaller angles is a great way to keep pressing while having shoulder issues without increasing those issues further. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🔈Regularly switching up your DB game?

𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐌𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐒𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐌𝐎𝐍 𝐏𝐔𝐒𝐇𝐔𝐏 𝐌𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐄𝐒?? - Follow @gofitbeast for daily fitness/nutrition tips & education📚 - As you can see in the top photo, I’m shrugging my shoulders and allowing my elbows to point straight out at a 90 degree angle from my body. This not only over-engages the upper trap muscles, which tend to be overdeveloped already, but it also puts the shoulders in a vulnerable position. If you ever experience shoulder discomfort during pushups, this positioning error may be the cause! - In the bottom photo, you can see that I have “anti-shrugged” my shoulders by creating space between my upper traps and ears. This helps to engage the lat muscles and relaxes the upper traps. I also have my elbows closer to my body, pointing about 45 degrees away, which helps to keep my shoulders in a more optimal position! This is a general guideline and there’s definitely some wiggle room with the elbow angle, but somewhere in this vicinity will be ideal! - Great post by @achievefitnessboston - Share with a friend who’s working on their pushups, and give this post a double tap if you found it helpful! Until next time, peace, love, and muscles!✌️💙💪 . . .

🔸HOW TO ARCH FOR A STRONG BENCH PRESS - by @breitfit🔸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Partnered up with @amithebenchbrah who is a triple Powerlifting All Time World Record holder and has amazing knowledge about the bench press! I am very excited to present you guys our collaborative work about how to arch and utilize your feet during the bench press for maximum strength and shoulder safety.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📝 Emily’s magic sauce allowing her to bench impressive weights is her strong arch. This is something you’d wanna bring to perfection if you are looking into maximizing your bench press.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ➕The most common fault when it comes to arching in the bench press is an arch at the lumbar spine which usually leads to not having contact to the bench with the butt and besides endangering your lower back won’t lead to the desired stability that we aim to achieve for the lift. A stable and safe arch is achieved at the thoracic spine!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ➕ Arching is deeply connected with leg drive: pushing “into the air” usually leads to the just discussed lumbar spine arch whereas utilizing leg drive to “push the lower body towards the upper body” helps us achieve a good thoracic arch.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ➕ A proper arch makes it easier to keep your scaps retracted and your shoulder joints stable and safe throughout the lift. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🔈Tag a friend who doesn’t know how to properly arch!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #musclebuilding #buildmuscle #pushpulllegs #pushday #fitness #bodybuilding #hypertrophy #workout #yogaformen #yogafit #powerlifting #mobilitywoddaytips #chestdayworkout #chestworkouts #chestandtriceps #chestpress #chestworkout #chestday #chestexercise #chestdaybestday #fitnessislife #dumbbells #fitnesstips #fitnessinspo #fitnessgram #gymtipsing (en New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3uEvxmpvKU/?igshid=1rlsk2z28yz2l
