[Bench Press Tips for Lifters with Long Arms]
Having long arms may put you at a disadvantage for benching pressing big weights, but with hard work and smart training, you can still develop elite-level pressing power. @kpearce9 (shown here benching 150x3) is a great example: long arms and built to deadlift, but has worked incredibly hard to become a strong bencher.

These tips apply to all lifters, but ring especially true if you've got long arms.

1. Develop Strong Leg Drive
Great benchers use their legs to help power the bar off the chest. This is even more important for lifters with long arms because of the increased range of motion. As you press, imagine trying to slide your body backward off the bench - this will engage your legs to help move the bar.

2. Hammer Your Triceps
Lifters with long arms will naturally be more triceps-dominant because the lockout portion of the lift is more exaggerated. Place extra emphasis on strengthening your triceps with bench-specific movements like close grip presses, board presses and triceps extensions.

3. Build Your Lats
The upper back is your foundation when you bench, but the lats are specifically important for lifters with long arms because the humerus (upper arm) must go through such a long range of motion and the lats are responsible for controlling this motion as you lower the bar down. Lat exercises that keep the arms straight (pullovers, stiff-arm lat pulldowns) will build the lowering portion of the bench press to help control big weights.

4. Strengthen Your Shoulders
Longer arms means you'll go through relatively more shoulder flexion as you press the bar back up, so strong deltoids are a must-have. Build your shoulders with overhead presses, high incline presses and isolation movements like lateral raises with dumbbells or cables.

5. Get a Handoff
Longer arms means you need to set up further down the bench than short-arm lifters. This also makes it way harder to unrack the bar yourself. Don't be afraid to ask for a handoff with heavy weights so you can optimize your setup.

As practices and games pick up again for our athletes, step up variations are a solid choice to get in lower body work with minimal eccentric stress.

Nice work here from @hcrossrugby @joey_rubbz

[Hip Position When Unracking the Squat]
You’ve heard it before: how you start the lift determines how you finish the lift. Squatting is no different.

Hip position in relation to the bar is crucial when unracking at the start of a squat. Coach Tony walks you through how to find the ideal hip position so you can have a strong and stable foundation while squatting.

If you want your positional integrity work to transfer it probably needs to be high speed or high force.

Generally we stick to isometrics and dynamic work. So, relatively motionless, or fast. The stuff in the middle we haven’t found much evidence to support.

That being said, the k pulley from @go_exxentric may be a good way to move through rotational positions, while creating high effort, measurable outputs with the added benefit of needing to control the eccentric portion as well.

Nice work here @t_rogers25!

Longer duration isometrics are a great option in the preparatory stage of the training session.

By dosing it in daily we can help athletes prepare for the session as well as the long term. 👏
