Are you power lifting? You better have a stable solid bench if you are dealing with big weight. Serious injury and even death can occur when lifting too much weight especially on weak or faulty equipment. A heavy duty bench will not tip, crack, bend, wobble or tear.  Bulking Up? The only way to get bigger is to lift heavier and heavier weight. You need to challenge your muscles constantly to grow them. Gearing up for competition? You can't train right on equipment that is not meant for heavy weight. Its not safe.

When training with heavy weights your number one concern is safety. Injury can keep you from reaching your goals and in some cases it can keep you from ever lifting again. Proper lifting technique is a must for anyone trying to lift heavy competition level weight. Be smart. Be safe. Injuries can ruin your lifting career. Before you start decide to start using a heavy duty weight bench brush up on the basic form of the bench press. Expert Power Lifter Jimmy Moss shares the following tips:

  • Keep your elbows tucked in to your side and use your strong triceps to help the lift. The Bench Press Strength! manual contains the appropriate volume and intensity of triceps work to prepare your arms.

     

  • Use your whole body in the lift. Push against the floor with your feet. Keep your upper back muscles tensed and keep the upper back on the bench for stability.

     

  • Push the bar straight up to reduce the movement distance.

     

  • Practice your technique! Heavy lifting is a combination of skill and muscular work, so you learn how to perform the movement most efficiently.

     

  • Identify your weaknesses so that you can train appropriately.

"This bench is one hell of a deal considering the price. I bought it to use with my Sumo rack. As an engineer, I give the designer of this bench an A+ for ergonomics, stability, durability and ease of assembly."
