A couple of weeks ago, I had decided to change some of my training. As I am new to powerlifting and a little less new to lifting in general, I was curious as to know about using the lats for the bottom movement of the bench. I have currently been trying to correct my form (which I wasn't aware of until a friend turned me on to some really insightful videos). :32 (17): So I have been training my lats to activate well, trying at least, because it's hard for me to be mentally aware of everything going on as far as head placement, arch, feet stance, shoulders back, etc. all this going on at one time, takes some getting use to. Oh yeah, I forgot, I had a question. Is the lats activation/ contraction contributing to the lift as I come down to sternum ? is it necessary? Will some of you PL's tell me what's up?
