Lack of global stability, from the floor, to the shoulders creates inefficiencies and could potentially cause injury, and this would significantly put a stop to your bench gains! šØā£ ā£ Take your time to create a strong (and stable) starting position. The old saying "You can't shoot a cannon off a canoe" is so true, with the Bench Press.ā£ ā£ Shoulders (& Scapula) positioned to drive your humerus into the glenoid and isometrically hold your scapula back AND down.
