IMPROVE YOUR BENCH PRESS

The Swiss Bar bench press is one of the most under-rated bench press accessories available that increases strength and performance.

So what is the Swiss Bar bench press?

This bar is used for several pressing and pulling exercises, including bench press. The benefit is that it decreases the stress placed on the shoulders and wrists while increasing your Tricep Activation. The swiss bar is used among elite athletes, football players, powerlifters and other strength athletes. This bar can also be called the “Multi-Grip Bar”, “Neutral Grip Bar”. The bar allows you to place your hands in a neutral grip position where the palms are facing each other. This is in contrast to a standard olympic bar where the hands are pronated, facing away from the body. With this grip, your shoulders can more easily be placed in a retracted and depressed position while lifting. This shoulder position is a critical part of any pressing or pulling movement. This is because when the scapula is pulled ‘back’ and ‘down’ on the rib cage it increases the stability of the shoulder joint. As a result, many lifters who are prone to shoulder injuries or are rehabbing a shoulder injury use the Swiss Bar for this reason
