TRAINING
FLAT BENCH PRESS: THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE SOLUTION
Rubber tubing
Acquire some low-resistance therapeutic rubber tubing. Be
sure to use the round hollow core tubing; stretchy elastic
bands sheets are not suitable for this purpose). Make a
loop at either end for the client to hold onto.
Every trainer has clients who suff er shoulder pain, so it is a
small but worthwhile investment to get some simple tubing
and a pool noodle in an eff ort to minimise this. Start carefully
to avoid injury, and progress slowly to ensure improved
proprioception and movement.
