Halloween Bench Press Workout
Just to make this workout a little spooky I decided to use chains to use Fat Grips, Chains and a Swiss Bar.
The Fat Grips were used to make the bar harder to hold on to and thereby work my grip strength while hitting other movements.
The chains add dynamic resistance, making the bar heavier at the top than at the bottom. This builds explosiveness and changes the point of peak to resistance (to the top instead of a few inches off the chest) which I believe will help create new muscle growth.
The Swiss Bar is just harder to use and at the same time easier on my shoulders. After using a barbell for the last 15 years, I figure its a good idea to mix up my grips regularly.
Below is the workout I did. You don't have to hog wild like I did and use all these implements at the same time, but try to use some of these yourself to add some variety to your training.
