    Bench Press as a Priority in Your Workout

    You must have known this that most guys perform bench press last in their workout. They typically initiate with dumbbells, then perhaps move towards Dips, and lastly perform some sets of bench press to end their workout.

    Well, researches such as this  have exposed that the order in which you do your work out has a substantial and significant impact on your strength and overall performance capability on each one.

    That is the reason most latest work out regimes include complex lifts like the bench press, deadlift, and squat first and then towards the movements such as dips, dumbbells, lunges etc.

    So, the tip for you here is that you have to initiate your chest workouts with the Bench Press workout and you will achieve your body goals much faster.

    Don’t under- or Over-Train!

    What is an ideal rep range? Well, finest training rate is a hotly debated topic. The conclusion to such debates is always that is it depends on the workout intensity and volume.

    If weights are light and sets are few in your workout, you can train the muscle group more often. And, as a outcome, if your weights are heavy and you have greater amount of sets per workout, then you can train the muscle group less.

    Many people try different splits and frequency schemes, and through research what is discovered is this review shown by Goteborg University:

    When training with the proper intensity (focusing on lifting heavy weights), optimal frequency seems to be about 40 – 60 reps performed every 5 – 7 days.

    If you are doing less than this optimal rate, as mentioned above, you will be leaving some gains on the table. If you will do more than this, you might end up going into the overtraining zone.

    Escape this by continuously counting on inclined pressing in your chest workouts, which is more effective than the flat bench press.

    No Smith Machine!

    It has been a point that people tend to ignore. It is important if you want to increase your bench press and perform it with more strength, stay off the Smith machine.

    There is a simple reason behind it: Smith machine triggers less muscle fiber than the free weight Bench Press. If your gym has got only smith machines, you better change your gym. And if you can’t change your gym, then practice your bench press on smith machine as it’s still better than no bench pressing at all.
