Any tips on getting dumbbells in the starting position when doing incline DB bench? I go on my own and don't like asking others in the gym.
I've made decent progress recently on my push exercises and am using program that calls for low rep high weight.
This means that while I can just about manage to press the weight for my 4x5 sets, the getting it into position is hard and is taking too much out of me prior to the sets.
Thanks for the tips.
I do use my knees to 'flick' them up but will try to do it from a standing start to get more momentum or like in the video moving the knees up more.
Think I need to go to flat bench for my strength sets for a couple of weeks first though because I think I've hit my upper limit using the dumbbells on incline (38k) for a bit until I get a bit stronger
Somewhere between 80-82kgHow much do you weigh?
Week 1 of being back on it out of the way, drinking nothing but water and 1 cup of tea a day has made a huge difference, feel loads better, although a tiny hunger pang in the evening where I would have normally had a couple of brews and a ton of chocolate biscuits.
Finding the will power to re-adjust is the hardest part,but,once done,it doesnt take long to get back into the groove and the reults should be the motivation to keep it going - Stay strong qr.
I added another 5kg to my DL yesterday,180 now - slowly,slowly,catchy......
It will taste even better.......I'm shoving the cals in at the minute,the vast majority of it from good sources with the odd bit of fruit cake and Sunday cheat - up to 11'7.Will power is the big problem, envious of you and your ability to refuse sugary treats!
On a countdown now to an Almost Famous burger at the end of week 4....
