Struggling with shoulder pain or poor form during bench pressing? Dr. Joe DeMarco, chiropractor and owner of OcraMed Health, demonstrates an exercise to help fix your bench press form and increase your lifting strength.
An important aspect of bench pressing is keeping your stabilizing muscles for the bench press strong. Without proper stabilization, your ability to bench press decreases dramatically, and your chance of injury increases significantly.
In this video, Dr. Joe demonstrates an effective bench press fix that helps train your shoulder girdle stabilizers. When you bench press, it’s crucial to lock your scapula (shoulder blades) into a solid position. The scapula need to be retracted and pulled down as much as possible. This position allows you to lift more weight safely and effectively.
This exercise accomplishes two key things: 1. It strengthens the shoulder girdle stabilizers to support your bench press. 2. Through repetition, it trains your body to naturally stabilize your shoulders during every lift.
Mastering this technique will improve your bench press form, help you lift heavier, and reduce your risk of injury. Don’t let poor stabilization hold back your progress—watch the video now!
