 Explosion upwards help??


Hey guys. Whever I bench and I go heavy, I always seem to get stuck on the bottom of my lift. What should I do to help this? I have no problem with lockingout, its just the explosion upwards gets me.

I suppose so, but rackpresses are generally to help you lockout, I thought?

I hate doing paused benching, is there any other alternative?


why you hate pased benching? its the most effective way to bring up your bottom end power. your only as strong as your weakest link on a given lift.

Would doing half reps work on my explosion upwards meaning that I have the bar down on my chest and I push half way up and then put the bar back down again? I will not be locking out at all until the last rep?


I have been doing half reps and it has helped me out some......what I have been doing is my normal bench work and go through most of my sets and for my final two I drop it down to a lower weight and I do 10-12 slower reps.

Today this is what I did for flat bench:
135*10
225*8
245*5
265*3
135*12 half rep
135*10 half rep

Its really not much work I do with the half reps but it has helped me outenough to count for something. When I do incline and flat dumbbells too I try to throw a set or two of 1/2s in there too but thats just what I do.
