Why do you need to focus on your back, while bench press?

It might sound strange to you.

I recommend you focus on your back! 

But you can say “Bench press is a pectoralis and delts based workout, this guy has no idea what’s he's talking about”. 

Not so fast, let me explain.

 

 

Which body part do you put on the bench? Your back, right?

Have you ever felt that you’re not stabilized when you pull the bar towards your chest?

This might be the answer for you.

 

 

Try reverse bench press using cables.

This workout makes you use your lats, which is the muscle that has same function in common with the pectoralis major, adduction and internal rotation of your humerus bone.

That also means that when your lats are flexed, your pecs are also flexed at the same time!
