🎯How to Set Up an Incline Press Machine: Key Adjustment Points & Proper Form . Let us get your setup correct so you can get the best out of your pressing. @coachedbybobby #peakperformance #strengthtraining #inclinepress

Seated DB cleans. Old school. Brutal. Effective. Stolen straight from Louie Simmons at @westsidebarbellofficial If your bench is stuck, your upper back is probably weak. If your lockout sucks, your traps are soft. If the bar feels heavy in your hands, you lack upper body power. This fixes that. • Explosive upper back • Bigger traps and rear delts • More pop off the chest • Stronger deadlift start • Better tightness under heavy loads No leg drive. No cheating. Just raw upper body force production. Build the engine behind the press. #powerlifting #athlete #coaching

In this clip from the Westside Barbell Podcast, Lou discusses how to properly execute board presses to target the triceps. Want to hear more? Check out the Westside Barbell Podcast available on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.

Cluster sets = secret weapon for strength & size 💥 Instead of grinding out 9 straight reps, try this: Bench Press 3 reps → rest 10–20 sec 3 reps → rest 10–20 sec 3 reps → done That’s 9 total reps — but with short intra-set breaks that keep your power high and your form tight. 🔥 Benefits of cluster sets: • Lift heavier weight for more total reps • Maintain bar speed & force output • Reduce technique breakdown • Increase high-quality volume • Build serious strength + hypertrophy More output. Less burnout. Brutal results. #StrengthTraining #Powerbuilding #ClusterSets #BenchPress #LiftHeavy

For me I define this as sub maximal load done at maximal velocity. Traditionally DE means accommodating resistance. That’s my highest level option. It’s on the menu but it’s not for everyone. I have a theory that training the nervous system transfers faster than training any other system 🚀 #strengthandcoditioning #bench #benchpress #strengthtraining #strengthcoach

In 2000, l cut a section out of the pendulum arm & replaced it with chain! The result was a game changer. Why? Now you literally had to focus on each rep or it would turn into a full blown jailbreak! Also it amped up production on your lowerback. This idea actually came from Lou as well but he probably knew it was outside the acceptance curve of his base. Purchased in 1994. We just opened Powerhouse Gym Columbia after l quit Arena football. Me, Neil Foy & Chris Murphy. It was located in Northeast Columbia SC. We had a $3 day rate. Neil & l put ever dollar of it in an envelope and in two months had enough money ($900) to send Lou for it. Also l have an attachment welded at the front bottom post where you can band the pendulum arm as well. Yes it works great! A great QL builder among other things. Lou will always be remembered for this piece. The game changer.

If you want a bigger bench, stop just benching. Most people chase a chest pump and then wonder why the bar won’t move. Here’s the fix 👇 • Build a seriously strong overhead press • Hammer your triceps like they’re the main lift • Train your back heavy, wide grip to sternum rows, controlled and powerful Your bench isn’t just chest. It’s shoulders for drive. Triceps for lockout. Back for stability and force transfer. Weak links cap your press. Strong structure adds kilos. Build the structure, not just the ego lift. #BenchPress #StrongerNotJustBigger #CoachRikki #ResultsSpace

The real progress isn’t in the main lift. It’s in the assistance work that attacks what’s holding you back. Weak triceps. Soft upper back. Dead hips. That’s where totals are won or lost. Build what’s missing. Balance the system. Then the main lift finally moves. Most people just chase numbers. The smart ones fix problems first.

Bodybuilder bench VS Powerlifter… So bench is scary at the most part for some clients because they don’t feel confident under the bar so lets try and find a way where you feel safer with your presses bench is not just for the boys!!! In my opinion… Bodybuilder bench is less stable with more elbow flare… So how I like to coach it is… Pin your shoulder blades together, lift the chest up and pull the lats down The elbows should be in a comfortable stable position not wobbling around like a bodybuilder. So you can press with power and stability… This is a safer way to bench and creates more power in the press DM me the word BENCH and I can send over my free guide that breaks this down even more… #BenchPressFail #GymMistakes #StopDoingThis #LiftSmarter #FormCheck

Unilateral or ‘B-stance’ movements such as this are a tool used to identify and correct imbalances and ultimately improve form on bilateral exercises like the squat, deadlift, and barbell bench press. **coming soon…a left side vs right side workout split 😏 @southsidestrengthak #fitness #gym #healthy #workout #hypertrophy
