The spoto bench press is a bench press supplemental lift that incorporates a pause above the normal bottom position, which both adds time under tension and stresses the sticking point for many lifters' bench presses.

-Press back
-Stay tight & hold your breath
-1 full second pause
-Gaze fixed on ceiling
-Rack bar with straight elbows
This lift is named after Eric Spoto, world record holder for the bench press. He noticed that many lifters overrely on the rebound off the chest. This variation not only eliminates the stretch reflex, but also eliminates what great competition bench pressers do, which is use leg drive to help throw the bar up off the chest. The hover off the chest prevents the use of a throw & stretch reflex off the chest.
The spoto bench press increases the volume as opposed to the intensity. Although the range of motion is decreased, the lifter has to hold the bar motionless off the chest--increasing the time under tension--and, as mentioned above, cannot use his legs or the stretch reflex to help begin the lift.
The hover point coincides with the sticking point for many lifters, where the pecs essentially hand off the primary responsibility of moving the bar to the triceps.
While this helps with the lockout more than the bottom position, it's primary focus is the sticking point, especially for competitive bench pressers (those who compete in powerlifting).
We recommend programming this similarly to the bench press, with reps in the 2-8 range primarily, and suggest only intermediate or advanced lifters add this lift to their program.

This is a list of the various purposes and uses for the Tsuba (handguard) on a Japanese sword, it does more than just protecting your hands from your opponents blades cutting you. A sensei I know says the Tsuba is basically like the shield to your sword, it's only 4" but when used properly it's like a 12" buckler. Weapons used in video are the Cold Steel O-bokken and a white oak bokken.

Can't train well if the stick isn't comfortable to hold. I ended up doing this because with my big hands the grip on some of my stick was so small they were nearly slipping out of my hands.

Just a quick explaination on the difference between Tameshigiri and Suemonogiri. Tameshigiri is the test for the sword, Suemonogiri is the test for the swordsman. Targets of all kind of different materials can be used, tatami mats, bamboo, tatami wrapped around bamboo and noodles are the most common. Traditionally sword were tested on condemned or already dead criminals.

Second time cutting with my Shinwa Odachi, but first time after shortening the tsuka (handle) down to 16". Tsubame-gaeshi (turning swallow's cut) is the cutting pattern I am using.
Thumb placement on Tsuba when using Japanese swords during drawing and Noto (putting the sword away). This video is just for entertainment. Never practice with swords unless in the supervision of a competent instructor.

First time doing Tameshigiri with my Shinwa Odachi on a pool noodle. Need to work on my yokoichimonji/suehe (flat cut), but it cuts pretty good for the price. The shape of the blade makes this thing sail through noodles like they're nothing (the bad flat cut was me not the sword, flat cut is the most difficult to do properly and successfully)
