Adam Hunt 10/04/2017 None Q1-W1 - BENCHPRESS BENCHMARK#1 Intro to Barbell Bench Press:

Barbell Bench Press - Medium Grip


Lie back on a flat bench. Using a medium width grip (a grip that creates a 90-degree angle in the middle of the movement between the forearms and the upper arms), lift the bar from the rack and hold it straight over you with your arms locked. This will be your starting position.

From the starting position, breathe in and begin coming down slowly until the bar touches your middle chest.

After a brief pause, push the bar back to the starting position as you breathe out. Focus on pushing the bar using your chest muscles. Lock your arms and squeeze your chest in the contracted position at the top of the motion, hold for a second and then start coming down slowly again.

Tip: Ideally, lowering the weight should take about twice as long as raising it.

Repeat the movement for the prescribed amount of repetitions.

When you are done, place the bar back in the rack.
Caution:

If you are new at this exercise, it is advised that you use a spotter. If no spotter is available, then be conservative with the amount of weight used.

Also, beware of letting the bar drift too far forward. You want the bar to touch your middle chest and nowhere else.

Don't bounce the weight off your chest. You should be in full control of the barbell at all times.

Adam Hunt 10/04/2017 None Q1-W2 - DEADLIFT BENCHMARK #1 The Deadlift

Approach the bar so that it is centered over your feet. You feet should be about hip width apart. Bend at the hip to grip the bar at shoulder width, allowing your shoulder blades to protract. Typically, you would use an over/under grip.

With your feet and your grip set, take a big breath and then lower your hips and flex the knees until your shins contact the bar. Look forward with your head, keep your chest up and your back arched, and begin driving through the heels to move the weight upward.

After the bar passes the knees, aggressively pull the bar back, pulling your shoulder blades together as you drive your hips forward into the bar.

Lower the bar by bending at the hips and guiding it to the floor.
