Nutri-Sport Training Tip: DB bench press

January 17, 2012 by · Leave a Comment 

Two of the things that people focus on in the gym are increasing their bench press and having a sculpted chest.  Well my friends, this exercise variation accomplishes both.

In this video, Mike Beiter demonstrates a variation of the flat DB bench press.  This variation puts more emphasis on the chest and shoulder stability compared to the traditional version.  Not only will this help carry over to more strength in the bench press and other upper body exercises, but it will increase hypertrophy (muscle growth) in the chest.

Try this variation on your next chest or upper body training day.

Shoulder stabolization is a very important topic in training as the shoulder is one of the most mobile and unstable joints in the body, but is under constant abuse no matter what your sport or training activity. Including exercises that strengthen this joint should be a part of everyone’s program.

In this video, Nutri-Sport Head Trainer Tasha demonstrates staggered push ups, which is a great exercise for this. Incorporate this into your next chest/shoulder routine, somewhere towards the end.
