- Coaching Points
- Drive the bar down into the pad on the chest with force: Start the exercise by forcefully driving the bar down into the pad on your chest. This action engages your chest muscles and helps create tension for the subsequent movement.
- Push the bar until arms are fully extended: As you initiate the upward movement, focus on pushing the bar away from your chest until your arms are fully extended. This extension of the arms engages your triceps and helps propel the bar upward.
- Throw the bar as high as possible: Aim to generate maximum force and speed to throw the bar as high as possible. This explosive movement targets the muscles in your chest, shoulders, and triceps, while also incorporating power and coordination.
- Rigidly absorb the energy from the bar on the descent: As the bar begins to descend, focus on rigidly absorbing the energy from the bar to control its descent. Maintain tension in your muscles and resist the weight as it returns to the starting position. This eccentric phase of the movement can contribute to muscle growth and strength development.
