The football bar press is just like the bench press, we just use a speciality bar that exposes weaknesses we have in our triceps and wrists! This bar is very shoulder friendly and will still hammer your pecs as well!
- It works just like a regular bench press – tighten your upper back and pull your shoulders in, initiate foot drive, etc.
- Tuck your elbows hard during this variation.
- Be ready to fight the bar with your wrists and forearms. It will make your entire arm much stronger.
- 2-3 grips from the center is the usual grip width.
