Medlem: 6104 		Hello. No, Iīm not a weight lifter because I havenīt start compete yet, maby I will, some day... I would like to compete in (I donīt know the word but in swedish: Bänkpress) bench press. I have some problem with the technique. My heels does not want to be on the floor. I havenīt test a sweater but raw (with my butt on the bench but with my heels not in place) I lift 72.5 kg. If I compete I will go in the class -67kg. I come from Åland and train in the same gym as O.Lehto and K.Sandvik so If I want I have very good teachers. :cool: But it isnīt any girls who compete right now so it is not so fun... have a nice day, regards.

Medlem: 4772 		Hi, Bench press (bänkpress) is a part of the sport called Powerlifting. This sport also has two other exercises called deadlifts (where you lift the barbell from the ground) and squats (where you stand with the weights on your shoulders and lower your behind until your legs is parallell with the ground (depending on how deep you want to go). There are probably competitions for just bench press but normally you compete in all three I think. Deadlifts and squats are very heavy exercises compared to bench press. But they are probably also two of the best (if not the best) exercises you can train. About your bench press question. Personally I put my feet up on the bench so that I won't be able to use my legs when doing bench press. But if your goal is to compete you should need to use all "tricks" possible. But I have no advice for you. BR Lews
