Lockout Partial Bench Press - 585 lbs

http://www.PowerfulTrainingSecrets.com - This is an excellent exercise for increasing bench press FAST. You're only working in the top few inches of the range of motion in order to develop connective tissue, which is often what holds back bench pressing strength.

The idea here is NOT full range of motion but to overload the joints with much heavier weight than they normally would be subjected to. This overload also trains neural drive, which helps the body move heavier loads.

this is why you should not waste your time doin lock outs of any sort with wait you can not possible do in a meet. Louie Simmons saids that you should not do more that 10 % of your max when doing rack pulls for the deadlift. i think the same should apply for the bench. when my shirted max was 425 I was doing triples with 455lbs lock out on the bench. also you should consider doing your lock outs off suspended chains it puts less stresss on your shoulders and you get a better set up.

When it comes to maximum strength, I won't aruge with Louie Simmons, that's for sure. But for me, I've found lockouts to be invaluable for increasing connective tissue strength and preparing the body for using heavier weight - I've used them to break through many plateaus. I'm not going to be entering any meets anytime soon, anyway. I do really like the idea of doing lockouts off suspended chains - thanks! I can definitely see that being easier on the shoulders.

It is a lockout exercise... why are you morons thinking he's doing a bench press and criticizing him for his form... I've never done lockouts.. but I think I just might..

@nomitata Your response tells me all I need to know.

@nilssonnick stfu ur sissy end of story......good workout though really helps you lift heavy weight!!

[nilssonnick]

@nomitata If you have a question or comment or a point to make, that's fine, but name calling? There's no need for that.

Partial training is useful when done pretty much anywhere along the range of motion. I've done partials from 6 to 8 inches off chest, I've done them just in the bottom range. This is called a lockout partial because you're just doing the top few inches in order to maximize weight and loading on the connective tissue and muscle fibers.

@0badboy0 Lockout bench press - it's a method for increasing connnective tissue strength and neuromuscular drive by massively overloading the very top strongest range of motion of the bench press. By increasing connective tissue strength, you'll be able to increase your full range strength. It's actually a very effective training technique.

i seen worst....at this gym i went to.. this guy asked me to spot him and he did the same shyt u did smh...but with 3 spotter tho
