Bench Block

Want to bench press heavier? Improve your bench press lockout with the Bench Block Strengthbae! 1. Overloading the Bench Press Lockout Improving your bench press requires identifying where your weak points lie. Many lifters explode off the chest but struggle to lock out the weight at the top of the movement. If this sounds like you, the bench block is incredibly useful, as it allows you to overload the weight specifically at the lockout position. The block stops the bar before it touches your chest, letting you focus on driving it to full lockout. It serves as a perfect substitute for the "board press" technique when you're training alone! 2. Improving Triceps Strength The lockout phase of the bench press relies heavily on the triceps, as the movement is driven by straightening the elbow—the primary function of the triceps muscle. By overloading the top portion of the lift, you will build stronger, larger triceps. After all, having bigger, more muscular arms is never a bad thing! 3. Two Depth Options The bench block features two slots at different depths. You can choose how close the barbell comes to your chest based on your specific needs and comfort level. 4. Secure, Grippy Fit The slots are designed to lock the barbell firmly in place, so you don't have to worry about the block slipping off while you bench press.
