Re: Paused Benching

Alot of elite lifters say that pausing your bench is quite bad, and stops the golgi tendon from becoming affective, Louie simmons being one that disagrees with the pause method.
A get around maybe to complete your working sets of bench, then doing an isometric hold for as long as you can about 2-3 inches of your chest, when you can do it for 30 seconds, do it with more weight.
Do 2 sets of iso holds at end of bench sets.
