Bench Press Lockout

[Trusylver]

Steve, do you have any favorite execises for improving the Lockout in the Bench Press ? i am just beginning to learn the groove of my shirt after competing RAW but need to give my lockout a boost when using a shirt 10 weeks from comp.

Cheers

Board, pin and close-grip presses.

Are you familiar with these?

I am, what do you think of the use of chains ?

 

[Steve]

Like them. Yes.

While I'm thinking of it, are you familiar with elitefts.com and

Both contain amazing articles regarding powerlifting.

i have read some articles but there is a lot more to read yet it is hard to get good technique coaching where i am (Rural Australia is not big for powerlifting) I have a strenght coach but they are not a specialised PL coach. They usually work with MMA and kickboxers.
