If you are ever going to be asked about your progress in the gym, it will be invariably in the form of ‘how much do you bench press?’

This DVD covers so many variables relating to the bench press. Body position variables such as feet placement, knee angle, scapula awareness, and head position. Equipment variables such as how to select the bench, bar and plates, chalk and wrist straps. Management issues such as warm-up, stretching, warm-up sets, arousal and recovery. Safety issues such as spotters and protecting your lower back.

It also touches briefly on the bench press variations – including the incline, decline and dumbbell variations. And the DVD concludes with a special section dedicated to more advanced issues such as arching and smelling salts.

What others have said

Ian, still progressing through the DVDs and continue to be impressed. Your instructional technique is clear & concise – very viewer-friendly. Wish I’d had access to this level/breadth of knowledge way back when. As it is, I’m totally psyched to start applying your lessons in the gym. Appreciate your help as always!—Dan
