why does it seem that the bench press is targeting my arms. I could feel my arms weared out after a set and not my chest. Could it be I'm doing it wrong?? I dont know its pretty hard to do the bench press wrong if I'm not mistakened.
Well the bench press works mainly with the chest but definetly does work the arms also. The reason that you probrably dont feel it as much in your chest area is because you arent bringing the bar low enough. Once your elboe goes lower than your chest, your arms will need more help from the chest. Another possibility may be that your chest is stronger than your arms and it just feels more sore in your arms since they are working harder.
might desire to it is that via specializing in bench pressing this could for sure artwork up the middle potential as properly. good center and robust trunk = stable base for good palms which you will artwork on defining later...? additionally, with a good center, isn't there much less probability of debilitating injury that could have a lifestyles-long result? i could think of that once one is in little ones and nonetheless transforming into, the prospect of harm is larger on account that (a million) one thinks one is invulnerable, and (2) the growth spurts in little ones go away the middle muscle mass with some potential capture as much as do with the greater advantageous leverages of the muscle mass that are helping a larger physique (i.e. a muscle that has been experienced to stand up to forces over 6 might have worry over 7 because of the fact forces are compounded = a muscle is largely a levered device the place one greater inch demands no longer basically 7/6 greater potential for an identical tension, yet plenty greater (i don't have my physics books to consult suitable now)).
