How to get stonger and increase bench presses

Posted on January 11th, 2010 by Spencer Olchin in Fitness & Workout

Do you want to increase your lifts? One way to do that is with Power Factor Training, also thought of as Power Lockout Training. This method can be used to increases all your major presses such as your bench, shoulder press and even your leg press. This method can also be used to increase your squat and even your dead-lift. However, EXTREME CAUTION MUST BE USED! I cannot stress this enough.  This is a method for experienced advanced lifters only!

The most important piece of equipment you need is an adjustable power rack with safeties and racks. The Leg Press is already designed with both. A way to think of correctly using this method is to think about using a limited range of motion while using extremely heavy weights.

The first thing to do is set up the rack with the safeties at the top quarter of the lift you will perform using a weight that is above your maximum. Perform the limited range lift for reps. As you get stronger over the course of a proper amount of time lower the safeties extending the range of motion until you perform it in the full range. You will now be able to increase your presses.
