#dumbbellbenchpress

The first #MiniCircuit of three #Exercises I did today included 1️⃣ #DumbbellBenchPress variation squeezing the #Dumbbells together as you #Press and lower the #Weight. This helps to increase the #Intensity when heavier weights are not available. Squeezing the weight also increased #TimeUnderTension by having near #ContinuousTension throughout the #Movement. 2️⃣ #TrapBarSquats or as some prefer to call it #TrapBarDeadlift. I attach the #e3Grips for added stability and improved #MuscleContraction. Make sure to keep your back tight as you push the heels into the floor while driving the shoulders up. 3️⃣ #SprinterCrunches which I did not video. A relatively low intensity, up tempo exercise to help boost #HeartRate and #Metabolism from the #PHA #Training. #TrainHard #GetLean #LoseFat #FitOver50 #FitOver40 #FitnessTraining #StrengthTraining #TotalBodyWorkout #BoostMetabolism #LoseFat #PersonalTrainer #StrengthCoach https://www.instagram.com/p/B-awbJalfj2/?igshid=1i9p80m0v6z9

I finally to using a #lightresistanceband instead of a mini for #bandedpullaparts! 🤪🤪. I really like the extra #tension on this in terms of building up my #upperback, especially since the reps are slow and controlled. So here's the last pull apart/#dumbbellbenchpress #superset of five, post yesterday's #squat session. For pull aparts I did just a few reps before doing 27.5x5x10. I always superset #upperbody exercises and you should as well. Do so for #muscularbalance. Do so for the sake of #injuryprevention. And tag a friend who might find this useful! #unitedinstrength #nasm #nasmcpt #onlinestrengthcoach #beginnersstrengthcoach #intermediatestrengthcoach #powerbodybuilding #igfitness #strongandshapelygym #legionathletics #teamlegion #legionpulse #fullbodystrength #fullbodytraining #strength #strong (at "Strong and Shapely Gym Inc.") https://www.instagram.com/p/B6_IR-ejJ-M/?igshid=19fhbae8jtksf

More from yesterday's training. Post #squat #supersets of #bandedpullaparts with a #lightresistanceband and #dumbbellbenchpress with 27.5x5x10. #confessionsofanangrymetalhead #metalhead #metalheadlifters #ihatemyself #liftwithhatred #powerbodybuilding #liftwithrage #ihateyou #yourmothersucksdicksfordimesatdivebars #extrememetalfitness #yourmothersucksdicksinhell #strongandshapelygym #liftevil (at "Strong and Shapely Gym Inc.") https://www.instagram.com/p/B6-balEJaqv/?igshid=12wzuw5zthp21

Variation! Variation is more than just an alternative to a #compoundmovement. Variation can also come as a difference in #tempo. You have a great opportunity to play around with different speeds if you're training with #dumbbells, as they already force your body to recruit more #musclefibers. So, what you see here is a little tip I took from Jim Wendler. He advocates a one second pause at the bottom part of the #dumbbellbenchpress to help strengthen the.#triceps, thus providing better starting strength on the #barbell version of this move. Here's 22.5x5x10. #unitedinstrength #igfitness #fit #powerbodybuilding #strong #strength #nasm #nasmcpt #nasmcertified #legionathletics #legionpulse #teamlegion #fullbodytraining #onlinestrengthcoach #beginnersstrengthcoach #intermediatestrengthcoach #intermediatestrengthtraining #lankylifters #talllifters (at "Strong and Shapely Gym Inc.") https://www.instagram.com/p/B6asq4tDc8u/?igshid=1cho6gyl9ualh

Getting some #Chest work in with a hybrid #DumbbellFly #DumbbellBenchPress. These #HybridFlyes are a great supplemental #Exercise to really hit the #Pecs. Lower the #Dumbbells in a fly like manner until the elbows are about 90 degrees and then #Press the dumbbells up to full extension. Give them a try in you next workout. #AgingAthlete #FitOver50 #FitAfter50 #Fitness #FitFam #StrengthTraining #Bodybuilding #TrainHard #GetFit #GetStrong #StayStrong #StrengthAndConditioning #AdvoStrong #AdvoFit #Nutrition #NutritionalSupplements #Supplements #CoachMcB https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw7uYxzgay_/?igshid=jhq8m0cuj17j

Awesome #chestworkout again at @impactfitnessauburn I included various exercises here to show how i train: 1. #dumbbellbenchpress top set here with 180lb dbs for 6. Heavy and as explosive i can press them. Strength is going up and i want to attempt the 200s in the near future! Yes i love to #liftheavythings 2. Back off set here with the 140s quality reps slower and controlled with a squeeze at the top. 3. Used this incline bench machine focusing on the top part of the chest. This machine felt amazing. I just did straight sets here pyramiding up in weight. Top set shown. 4. This flat press sitting up is amazing. The focus here is hard squeeze for the inner chest. I didn’t include the double drop set here. _________________________________________ My theory on training is making sure i hit all parts of the muscle as well as both fast and slow twitch muscle fibers. Heavy and explosive for density, slower controlled and hard contraction for quality and detail. I love lifting heavy but i don’t do it for everything. I just make sure I’m pushing myself. @officialgasp @apsnutrition #hitechfamily #noexcuses #nocompromises #gaspofficial #chrispantanosquats #dumbbellworkout #benchpressing (at Impact Fitness) https://www.instagram.com/p/BriSvyLApq5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uig55wc4eyky
