Dwight Howard, a center for the Orlando Magic basketball team, and his strength coach Joe Rogowski teach the Bench Press. ""Bench press is just total upper body and strengh. Dwight's sets and reps, have a routine that Dwight really enjoys. He does a pyramid technique, and increases weight, until he gets to his max set of two reps. The pyramid takes endurence and strength, and most importantly for his position because he is a power player, increased the power in the fast twich muscle fibers. A lot of athletes, when they do the bench press, forget about their core strength, and really hypeextend their lower back. So, one of the things you need to be careful with is that you are not hyper-extending too much and over doing it.""
