We’re working hard over here to make the gym more safe for our members. We now have 18 (!) platforms for your social distancing pleasure, which will provide plenty of options for members to space themselves out appropriately.

What exactly is the big deal with driving your butt off the bench anyways!?
#
In short, driving the butt off the bench increases the angle of the chest relative to the humerus, allowing more lower pec to be used such as in a decline bench press. Being able to use more of the lower pec makes the press easier, so if you can’t keep your butt down the weight is too heavy for you. Aka, driving the butt up is a cheat. Also - you look real silly when you do it. Check out our new video right here: https://youtu.be/8ZZcUZj2ryk
