    Sticking point at start phase of bench

    I have a problem driving up the bar from chest and to the mid . What are good exercises to assist with that? Preferably something which is easier on the shoulders then the bench itself

    lower the weight or do partials


    your form probably sucks if your shoulders hurt. Where's the bar coming down? It just be just below the nips

    read an article on this but cant find the link

    the idea was to do 'explosive' exercises to develop that extra push needed to get past the tough point

    suggestions were clap or jump pushups or pulse pushups (had some weird name for it anyway) where you push half way up slowly then lower back down and 'explode' all the way up


    hope this helps

    Lower the weight, and then PAUSE the bar at your chest before pressing it back up. This is the only functional application of the squat bar pad I have found---you can use it to make paused bench more comfortable.
