I have been doing a lot of studying, so that I can better understand how to set a effective strength training program. I think I understand enough to plan on long the term results (Tortoise and the hare).
First question is very basic about technique on bench presses. I understand the tight, slow, and controlled. Not bouncing it off of your ribs like I see on videos. I'm surprised those people aren't breaking ribs. How is the question. I understand shoulder blades together and puffed out chest, but in some videos you see people arching their backs like they are doing a bridge. It doesn't seem like they are getting a full range of motion. I see it a lot. Is this valid or a cheating motion?
2nd question. Again, I understand slow and controlled, but I have been reading about hyperidization and the two methods for strength training and muscle building don't seem to much different to me. I guess what I'm asking. Is hyperidization for building strong effective muscle vs. Body building puffy muscle for looks?
I know that's a huge subject, but is there something that I can read to explain the difference? Or and article that explains it well?
Thank you in advance for your time.
