So I would like to share a few mental cues that helped me build up to my bench of 505lbs. Position yourself where you want to be, and DO NOT move your feet or body position pin your rear delts to the bench to see where you want to be. (think of yourself as a rock) Close your eyes and focus that your are getting ready to push away from an object such as a wall, visualize that YOU are pushing away from the weights (Squeeze the bar like your trying to kill). When bringing the bar down to the sternum or top of the abs as I do imagine spreading the bar apart as if your going to SNAP IT INTO TWO. This really helps to engage the tri's in the range of motion. Practice this not only to build to a BIG bench, but also when your just benching in general.
