Remember Pinocchio, the puppet who wanted nothing more than to be a real boy? One day his wish came true. The strings that connected his head and neck to his torso; his arms to his hands and his legs to his feet were replaced by the bones, joints, and muscles of a real boy.
One of the reasons I started this blog was to help you to become a master at identifying the load of BS that tends to float around on the internet these days selling you on the thought of making “easy gains.” I do my best to take out the garbage everyday in real life, as well as here on the center stage of the world wide web.
Gains don’t come from gimmicks, or pills, or from TV shows that funnel millions of dollars into a controlled environment. Today I’m going to cover 5 tactics that you can practice in your training that I guarantee will get you results in terms of your physical appearance.
So I was right in the middle of cooking a big pot of my favorite spaghetti on Sunday when a push notification came in on my phone. As usual I grabbed it preparing myself to delete another useless spamming email when I quickly stopped myself seeing that the email was from the Editor of Breaking Muscle.
So I woke up this morning and was greeted with an email with some cool news. As you know I’m a regular contributor to the online fitness blog Breaking Muscle. Being one of their contributors you may or may not remember a couple weeks ago Breaking Muscle qualified the Brandon Richey Fitness site to enter into their Top 10 Fitness Blogs on the internet competition.
So the topic of today’s discussion is going to involve the good ole bench press. So what can I say about the bench press other than the fact that it is probably the most misused and abused exercise involving the upper body and free weights since the invention of strength training, period.
Often trainees that don’t understand the proper technique involved with the bench press practice with terrible habits and even worse form for long periods of time until one day something stupid happens to get their attention. The point I’m making is why wait for that day to come because I’m going investigate this exercise right here for your knowledge obtaining convenience. Read on my young Jedi!
