Track and Field Throwing and Lifting

Today I am going to explain the proper way to bench as well as improve your bench using variations. Benching is just one of those things that really everyone will judge you on and show you that they can do more. You may also want a big chest and to look bigger and I will explain exactly how one may go about doing that. It all starts with the general setup. If you have ever done a push up that is pretty much how you do the bench workout. You will start with your hands straight up and down from your body and shoulders in a straight line. This is the standard position. You will also want to have your back flat on the bench with your feet at each side of your body. This will be your support besides your actual chest doing all the work. Once this has happened, you will want to push the weight off of the rack with a possible spotter behind you and then begin to lower the weight down to your chest. Once this has happened, you will now push the weight up back to right about where the rack i...

    Today I will be going over the general technique of a simple weight squat. The weight squat isn't exactly the hardest, but you will see yourself getting a lot stronger when you do it correctly. Besides power cleaning and deadlift, this is one of the most difficult exercises when done correctly. I myself have a 515 pound squat only due to how I squat. I see this day in and day out that many people don’t do it right.     It starts with the middle of the bar resting on top of your shoulder blades and right behind your neck.

When the bar is in the correct placement you want your hands at about each side of your body close to your shoulders. Most people who do not have complete flexibility within their shoulders are seen with their hands at the ends of the bar instead of ...

    Since my last blog post was on the basis of lifting, I will be continuing that idea into my next training blog. This one is mostly going to be based off of the idea of deadlifting. Now deadlifting is a very hard, but occasionally easy lifting exercise. It all depends on how you do it, if it is done correctly and with which type of bar it is does with.     The standard deadlift is seen as very hard for beginners. You must start with your back straight and flat. Then, you must go into how your feet should be placed. Your feet should be down on the ground, toes pointed forward with a decent amount of weight on your heels and toes. In other words you want to evenly distribute it. This will help you push up when lifting the amount one would like to lift. One you has the back and legs in the correct position you will then need to put your hands in the correct place. Your hands will be straight down from your shoulders. This will be your support in order ...
