TECHNICAL AND SPECIAL STRENGTH TRAINING CORRECTION METHOD FOR THE POWERLIFTERS AIMED AT OVERCOMING "STICKING REGIONS" IN THE BENCH PRESS
A set of exercises allowing for the technique adjustment and the strength and power development for overcoming «sticking regions» was developed. The technique adjustment mainly comprises of following elements: the adjustment of the bar trajectory during the ascent phase; learning to push with legs at the beginning of the lift in order to produce additional mechanical impulse; learning the synchronous activation of primary muscle movers. The adjustment of the special strength training comprises mainly of increasing the training load for elbow extensors (triceps muscles), and for pectoral, anterior deltoid and medial deltoid muscles. The adjustment of the technique helps in overcoming the first “sticking region”, while the special strength training adjustment helps in overcoming the first and in excluding the second «sticking regions».
