How To Increase Your Bench Press
The use of using stretch bands to improve your lifting prowess is very commonly used in the powerlifting world nowadays and should be given a thought by yourself if you are to enhance muscle mass and strength levels and ultimately improve your bench press (bands can also be utilised on the squat and deadlift).
This idea has been brought to the fore here by Smitty of the Diesel crew, promoting the use of jumpstretch bands wrapped around the wrists to engage the lats in bench pressing.
Why do the Lats Help the Bench Press?
The lats act as secondary movers, play a huge role as stabilizers and act as a stretch reflex mechanism (strong lats are required to get the bar moving from the bottom position of the bench press)
This is by no means all you should do to improve your bench, it is simply a different method of training
