Larsen Press is a great bench press variation to build muscle and improve technique! You use your regular bench press technique, do your setup and lift the weight out - now you lift your legs forward and stretch them out so that you can use them unsupported!
Benefits:
- Limits your bridge
- Requires more stability
- Improves a high chest position through upper body tension
Important cues:
Try to maintain a high chest position even without the help of your legs! I also recommend a short rest on the chest between reps!
