Today we're finally back to our 3-part series on getting started with barbell training! This episode is all about how to progress to the barbell bench press! We got into a ton of detail on how you can set yourself up for success with the bench press by following a simple but effective progression.
Our goal with this series is to eliminate the frustration and need for a ton of cues and corrections once you're working with the barbell, and instead help prepare your body for the barbell lifts by going through different exercise variations that will allow your body to do the learning along the way so you're much more prepared, confident, and ready to take on those barbell lifts!
In the episode we mention four different exercise progressions, and you can find videos of them all here:
Single Arm Floor Press
Single Arm DB Bench Press
2-DB Bench Press
BB Bench Press
We hope you find this episode helpful, and stay tuned for part 3 where we will go over progressions to the barbell deadlift!
