How to know which bench press is better for you

This question is no stranger to me; I have heard it over and over again. This question and much more like; which bench press is better for my chest; which is best among the different types of bench presses; for how long should I bench press; how can I effectively bench press? Have you also wondered why there is so much attention around bench press exercise? Why are people not talking so much of other exercises in powerlifting, weightlifting and CrossFit? I think we could take a tour together to see the reasons for ourselves.

Best Deadlift Dynamite review which will make you pull more

This is my write up of the Deadlift Dynamite book authored by Pavel Tsatsouline and Andy Bolton. I am currently on a quest to move my deadlift north of 200kg for which this book was ideal. Here is my summary and as always I recommend to buy and read if you want to improve. Everything else is cheating and cheaters do not hit their goals sustainably.

 Which greatest songs from 1998 boost your last minute workout?

The year in which Pol Pots dies and a dictatorship is the birth of Google. Imagine a world without Google. How did poeple even find their own garage back then? For me it was my 13th birthday and I started to learn english and Latin in school. Seems like a long time ago. Attached you find a spotify playlist of eleven songs from 1998 and the corresponding spotify playlist. Monica had a big year back then to seemingly never be seen again in the charts.

What is a bench press shirt and how to get one

The first time I heard the word; “Bench press shirt”, I immediately began to wonder what it could be and what exactly it could be doing for lifters. Until I saw and used the shirt myself, I erroneously concluded it is perhaps a magic suit to enhance the effectiveness of benchers, kingly members of the powerlifting, weightlifting, squat, deadlifting community at the gym. I might have been wrong with that, but it’s clear now that my conclusion was entirely incorrect. Anyway, you don’t need to laugh at me; it was a long time ago, and there is always a first time for everything. I know better now.

The mammoth Linchpin review that you will like

Linchpin is a book which you will find on most marketers shelves. I personally avoided Seth Godin for quite a while as I thought his ideas were a bit too far fetched. You have to embrace the possibilities of freelancing and doing your own thing first before getting the full value out of this book in my opinion. When it was mentioned again as recommended reading in John Goodman's material to become a successful personal trainer I decided to get it on my Kindle app and give it a proper read. This my summary for you in case you do not want to read the full book

The reasons why you need to bench press

As common as it may sound, do you realize how important the bench press is for you?  Today, it is considered a very popular exercise in most fitness centers.
