I would also like to add that thrusting your hip is just providing more momentum. You put your muscles under less and less stress (which is needed to build muscle) the harder you thrust.

[...] What this does: When you begin lifting your hips up on the incline press, you essentially bend your lower back and your shoulders move a bit lower down on the bench. This changes the angle of your chest. [...]

Alex,

Lol- some people are just dead set on these kinds of things. Maybe you really should hang it up over the bench press :-)

Interesting Jason! I have also seen a lot of guys at the gym do like this; but when I tell them that it’s wrong, they just say something along the lines of: “You pussy don’t f***up my workout let me see you press bigger, bitch”… Sorry about the flaming words, but that’s really how some guys at the gym talk to me when I try and correct them a little. I think I’ll print this page and put it up besides the bench press.

Just kidding. Nice article anyways Jason :)

RT- Lol! Yeah, I’m sure some poor kid out there has read it and is probably is thrusting away at the hips with each set. I just hope that they realize how ridiculous this is. If you’re doing this in the gym, then maybe others have a free pass to laugh for once.

Those muther f***ers! Haha.

Man, I know it might seem trivial but this could cause a lot of heart ache to some kid who reads it and takes on that advice. I have a chronic injury that will never go away from bad bodybuilding technique – it has mentally strained me for many years. This type of bull crap from these magazines can do a lot of harm.

Thanks for posting it. I’m going to bump this post on RMO now.
