Do not skimp on your ROM, your gains will thank you‼️

Mastering the 90/10 rule is one of the biggest factors that shot my bench past 3 plates and towards the 4’s, but I’d argue that it’s a vital technique for anyone of any skill/strength level.

The goal here is to imagine that only 90% of our range of motion on the eccentric actually comes from us lowering the bar towards our chest. The remaining 10% of our ROM needs to come from us actively driving the chest up towards the bar.

Imagine that you’re a bodybuilder on stage. Chest high & proud.

This action of pushing the chest up should be done throughout the entire duration of your set, don’t relax at the top of reps.

The 90/10 rule might take some getting used to, but if implemented properly it will always lead to more thoracic extension, which can aid in scapular depression, as well as more rigidity throughout the entire torso which helps us to generally maintain our shoulder & back position.

Losing these positions under heavy loads or at high levels of exertion is often why we fail bench reps we otherwise should have gotten. The 90/10 rule solves that problem.

Try this out on your next bench day and let me know if it helps! Send this to someone with a weak bench

Physical therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s about meeting patients where they are and helping them get back to doing what they love! For our patient Jenn, her big goal is get back to competing in CrossFit. This means her PT journey looks like Olympic lifts, pull-up progressions, and other CrossFit-specific movements. Jenn’s dedication and hard work coupled with our expert care and programming are ensuring a safe and confident return for her!

No matter your goals, here at Revive, we will craft a plan built around you. Come and experience the Revive difference for yourself😎

STOP exhaling after the unrack in the bench. It’s a mistake I see a lot of guys making and it’s really undermining their bench.

Exhaling collapses the ribcage and changes our thoracic position. This is directly antagonistic to the upper back position (thoracic ext + scapula depression) that we should be trying to create in the bench press.

Instead, get ALL your air before your unrack, brace into your bench position, and then execute as many reps as you can without exhaling. Any breaths you do (obviously you’ll have to breathe somewhat for higher rep sets) should be as small as possible, with attention given to trying to keep the chest as higher as possible throughout the entire set.

Try this your next bench day and let me know if you have any questions!

“Speed work” is one of the most overrated things ever for people trying to get stronger & improve power output, I will die on this hill.

Every workout that you don’t do is one you’ll never get back. Time only moves in one direction. A man is the sum of his actions, this sum creates his own destiny. The bad habits that you refuse to break now will hold you back from being the man you could’ve been.

Get to work.
