Regrann from @dr.joelseedman_ahp - When it comes to training my athletes and clients as well as myself, approximately 80% of the movements we use are fairly traditional while the other 20% involve unique variations. One unique training method I periodically use is offset training and variations thereof. This is something I’ve written about multiple times in various articles highlighting a number of different offset protocols including the offset barbell loading method, offset leverage, offset elevation, dumbbell offset loading, and more (read more about these on my website). However, one method I’ve recently been using to further enhance the offset training stimulus is offset angled training. The concept is quite simple as it involves performing movements using an angled slope or slanted surface. This is most easily done using either a decline bench or a small slope/ramp or anything else that provides an offset angle. One of my favorite movement patterns to incorporate offset angled training on is horizontal chest presses. These represent the epitome of full body chest pressing exercises as every muscle from head to toe will need to be recruited to successfully complete these. Simply lay on a decline bench in t-bench setup with the bench set at approximately 20 deg and perform your favorite chest presses including dumbbell and barbell presses. Here I have several of my clients and athletes including @toddweiland @lpetchlee1 and NFL cornerback @prince_charles30 performing some of my favorite variations. There are 4 factors that make these so effective.
