PAUSE REPS Great way to increase your bench press. Pause and hold the rep couple inches from your chest for 2-3 seconds then drive up without locking out, straight back down and hold. Give it a try 🤪💪 | Big Nick Collins

If your bench press is weak, pause reps should be in your program. Yeah, you’ll be weaker with a pause than touch-and-go—but that’s the point. A proper pause forces you to own the bottom of the rep, the hardest part of the movement and the part where your chest does the most work. Build strength there, and your whole bench instantly gets stronger. 🧱💥 #fyp #fitness #gym #bodybuilding | Physique

Pause reps are a fun way to finish off a good bench press session. Get someone to call out the reps, and until they call it you hold 🤷🏾‍♂️😅. I used to do this back in the day with my bros, and sometimes we would really hold on that pause, let them suffer a bit lol. This was my 8th and final set coming down after two sets of 405 (set 5 & 6) and 1 set of 365 (set 7). #benchpress #pausereps | Simeon Panda
