As you locate the position the torso, do not interfere with the positioning of the other parts of the body. Make sure that the lower back is slightly arched. Do not press your body against the bench because it is easy to shift your attention from the real objective.

The most common failure point in many powerlifting exercises is the grip. The forearms are a small and skinny muscle group, and the hands are typically very weak when compared to other potential failure points in the body. Building up your forearm and grip strength is a key to performing better in both powerlifting competition as well as in your normal lifts. Improving the amount of weight you can move will allow you to hold more weight when deadlifting, and control more weight when bench pressing. Additionally, it will provide you with greater support when you’re using exercises to target those ancillary body parts which support the lifts such as the deadlift. Rowing, lat pulldowns, and other movements become more effective when grip strength improves. Here are a few tips for increasing your grip and forearm strength. Remember that the goal of this training is not to develop large, vascular forearms seen on a bodybuilding stage. Rather, we are working to develop as much functional strength for the forearms and hands as possible. Therefore, training will emphasize strength, and not appearance.
