Pin Presses

طريقة الأداء

1. 01Pin presses remove the eccentric phase of the bench press, developing starting strength. They also allow you to train a desired range of motion.
2. 02The bench should be set up in a power rack. Set the pins to the desired point in your range of motion, whether it just be lockout or an inch off of your chest. The bar should be moved to the pins and prepared for lifting.
3. 03Begin by lying on the bench, with the bar directly above the contact point during your regular bench. Tuck your feet underneath you and arch your back. Using the bar to help support your weight, lift your shoulder off the bench and retract them, squeezing the shoulder blades together. Use your feet to drive your traps into the bench. Maintain this tight body position throughout the movement.
4. 04You can take a standard bench grip, or shoulder width to focus on the triceps. The bar, wrist, and elbow should stay in line at all times. Focus on squeezing the bar and trying to pull it apart.
5. 05Drive the bar up with as much force as possible. The elbows should be tucked in until lockout.
6. 06Return the bar to the pins, pausing before beginning the next repetition.

نقاط الأداء الصحيح

• —Brace your core before the first rep and keep it braced.
• —Drive through the full range — do not cut the lockout short.
• —Set the bar path over mid-foot and keep it there.
• —Control the lowering phase — that is where most of the growth stimulus lives.

أخطاء شائعة

• —Using momentum instead of the target muscle.
• —Cutting the range of motion short to add load.
