Bench - Flat vs Incline

Kevin B DiBacco

Sinossi

In "Bench" Incline vs. Flat," renowned powerlifter Kevin B DiBacco tackles one of weightlifting's most enduring debates. With 20 years of competitive experience and a personal best raw bench press of 515 pounds at 235 pounds body weight, DiBacco brings unparalleled expertise to this comprehensive examination of two fundamental chest exercises.
The book begins by introducing readers to the biomechanics of the chest muscles and the basic principles of effective pressing. DiBacco then dives deep into the flat bench press, exploring proper form, common mistakes, and strategies for maximizing strength gains. He shares insights from his own journey to a 500+ pound bench press, offering readers a roadmap to extraordinary pressing power.
Turning to the incline bench press, DiBacco examines its unique benefits for upper chest development and overall physique enhancement. He discusses optimal incline angles, variations in muscle activation, and how to integrate incline work for balanced chest development.
Throughout the book, DiBacco addresses the ongoing debate between flat and incline bench press advocates. He presents scientific research, anecdotal evidence from elite lifters, and his own experiential knowledge to provide a nuanced view of each exercise's strengths and limitations.
Readers will find practical programming advice for integrating both exercises into their routines, whether their goals are powerlifting performance, bodybuilding aesthetics, or general strength and fitness. DiBacco also covers important topics such as injury prevention, plateauing, and how to adjust bench press training as you age.
"Bench" is an indispensable resource for lifters of all levels seeking to optimize their chest training. By the end of this book, readers will have the knowledge to make informed decisions about their bench press training, setting them on the path to new personal records and impressive chest development.

The author, Stian Christophersen, is an internationally renowned climber who has competed and coached at international level; he is also a practising physiotherapist with over 15 years' experience, specialising in the treatment of climbing injuries.
The third book in the bestselling Climbing Bible series, it describes the most common climbing injuries that the author frequently encounters in his clinical practice, and examines how they can be diagnosed and treated – and even prevented from occurring in the first place.

The first part gives an essential overview of factors which can influence injuries and rehab, such as sleep, training load, warming up, differences related to age and gender, and strength training. Part two focuses on the common injuries experienced by climbers – including pulley injuries, elbow tendinopathies and hamstring ruptures, as well as growth plate injuries in young climbers – and advice about how to rehab or prevent these common injuries. And the third part explores the fascinating subject of pain science – what the sensation of pain really means, and how we interpret and can influence our experience of pain.

Passion Plays - How Religion...

Randall Balmer

Randall Balmer was a late convert to sports talk radio, but he quickly became addicted, just like millions of other devoted American sports fans. As a historian of religion, the more he listened, Balmer couldn’t help but wonder how the fervor he heard related to religious practice. Houses of worship once railed against Sabbath-busting sports events, but today most willingly accommodate Super Bowl Sunday. On the other hand, basketball’s inventor, James Naismith, was an ardent follower of Muscular Christianity and believed the game would help develop religious character. But today those religious roots are largely forgotten. 
 
Here one of our most insightful writers on American religion trains his focus on that other great passion—team sports—to reveal their surprising connections. From baseball to basketball and football to ice hockey, Balmer explores the origins and histories of big-time sports from the late nineteenth century to the present, with entertaining anecdotes and fresh insights into their ties to religious life. Referring to Notre Dame football, the Catholic Sun called its fandom “a kind of sacramental.” Legions of sports fans reading Passion Plays will recognize exactly what that means.

The Shocking Truth about...

Zoey Fraisers

Emergency preparedness is no longer an option—it is a necessity. With the increasing frequency of natural disasters, pandemics, and unforeseen crises, individuals and communities must be ready to respond at a moment’s notice. Whether it’s a hurricane, wildfire, power outage, or civil unrest, the ability to react swiftly can mean the difference between safety and catastrophe. Unfortunately, too many people remain unprepared, relying on the assumption that government agencies or emergency responders will handle everything. While these organizations play a crucial role, personal preparedness is the first line of defense in any crisis.
One of the most significant misconceptions about emergency preparedness is that disasters are rare or unlikely to happen. However, global trends suggest otherwise. Climate change has intensified storms, heatwaves, and flooding events, making them more frequent and severe. Earthquakes and wildfires continue to threaten communities worldwide. Beyond natural disasters, cyberattacks, supply chain disruptions, and public health emergencies have highlighted vulnerabilities in modern societies. The COVID-19 pandemic was a stark reminder of how quickly daily life can be upended, leaving many scrambling for essential supplies and reliable information.
Preparedness goes beyond simply stocking up on food and water. It involves understanding risks, developing an action plan, and ensuring that essential resources are available when needed. A well-thought-out emergency plan includes knowing evacuation routes, securing important documents, and maintaining a communication strategy with family and friends. In an emergency, panic and confusion can lead to dangerous decisions. Those who prepare in advance are better equipped to make rational choices and protect themselves and their loved ones.
