For people who exercise regularly, barbell bench press is no stranger. This action is relatively simple and uses less equipment. Many people think that this action is nothing particularly worthy of attention, but it is not. There are many technical points in flat bench press. If you don't do it well, you can't achieve the purpose of fitness.

Barbell bench press has always been a popular exercise, which can effectively increase muscles. However, if the bench press posture is not in place, it may cause harm to the body. Also, in some critical periods, if you continue to do barbell bench press regardless of your body, it will also cause harm to your body. At this time, it is necessary to give up appropriately and replace the barbell bench press with other movements. So when do you need to give up barbell bench press for a while? To sum up, in these cases, it is necessary to temporarily give up barbell bench press. Four periods are not suitable for barbell bench press, so avoid these four periods and remember.

The first period is the bottleneck period.

Although I am the first movement in many people's training, I will rely on this movement in the subsequent training. This action should be used in every training, but each action will have a certain bottleneck period. When you practice barbell bench press for a long time, but your muscles have not increased, it means that you have reached the bottleneck period. At this time, we should exercise our muscles with new movements instead of continuing barbell bench press and getting out of the bottleneck period.

The second period is the muscle gain period.

Although barbell bench press is relatively simple, it is not the best exercise. It is best to do less if you want to gain muscle, and it should be better to change to squat and hard pull.

The third stage is muscle injury.

Most of the injuries in the gym are caused by bench pressing, and my legs easily tear my abdominal muscles. If you have been injured in the chest and back, you must not do this. You can change it into other movements and add some training accessories to complete physical training.

The fourth period is when training is exhausted.

We often see many videos of barbells falling on the neck and chest on the Internet. This is because many people still insist on barbell bench press when they are exhausted from training, and their arms have no strength, but they still insist on breaking through their own limits first, but this is very unsafe. It is best to find someone to help you or use some fixed machinery to ensure your life safety.
