West Side Bench Press Training - supplement post

We spoke of WEST SIDE TRAINING last week and in particular how it helps power lifters bench press heavier weights. We dived into explosive lifts on your SPEED day. I have had a few things to get done with work and life per say that has effected my speed day at the gym. I have got down to doing some push ups when at home to feed my SPEED day. While I know this doesn’t count for 60% of my 1 Rep Max but it is something which is better than nothing. In effect a push up uses about 60% of your body weight. When doing push ups, ensure you tuck your elbows in to focus on your triceps and do the 8 sets of 3 reps. Remember to explode up and use minimal rest. Doing inclined push ups  - i.e. with your feet elevated against a well would pivot more body weight on the push up but hit your upper chest more.
