New to the spoto bench press or looking for a quick technique tutorial? Learn correct form in one short video.

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.

Gym Shorts videos provide short video demonstrations of correct form for various exercises.

Follow these steps:
-Set up like normal bench press
-Spotter when possible
-Legs pushing into shoulders
-Bar starts directly over shoulders
-Pause 1-2" off chest
-Hold bar motionless
-Slow & controlled descent
-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.

When it comes time to unload the boat for off season storage, the Plano Edge shows its value again. It isn't just a quick access tackle storage system, but also a convenient way of off season storage without cardboard boxes, and a quick reloading of the boat with tackle in the spring.

Using an old Crooked Creek Tackle Company tube and a XPoint XGap hook I show how to Texas rig a tube for more positive hook sets.

Plano has introduced something new called StowAll bags. These are made of heavy flexible see-through plastic that is a waterproof bag to hold whatever you want to keep dry, but still be able to view. I talk about the use with cellphones and tablets, as you can still control these items with the touch of your finger. As a result, they make the perfect item to store the device that you will be using with a Vexilar Sonarphone, which is also explained and shown in this video.

You have heard my comments many times in regards to the Plano Edge series of tackle boxes. This time we are asking fellow outdoor writer, Don Banning, during a very windy day of fishing.

Fellow outdoor writer, Don Banning, invited me to fish on one of his favorite lakes. I used the new B'n'M 75 Series Crappie Rod/Reel combination, and fished a Natural Forage Baits' R4 Finesse worm on a B-Fish-N-Tackle H20 Precision jig head for bass.

For years I've had some of my best fishing during hot weather, and between the hours of 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. On this day I did well in 90-plus degree weather fishing weed beds with a Blitz Pro Spin and Natural Forage Baits Swim Bait. While there is no actual fishing in this video, I do explain how I approach fishing in hot weather.

The day after a cold front fellow outdoor writer, Don Banning, and I tried one of his favorite small waters. It was a tough, post, major cold front day, and even this small body of water was tough fishing. However, selecting the right lure, technique and location saved the day. Here are some tips to help whenever having similar conditions. A Rat-L-Trap was the key to success on this day. Even Pepper get in the video.

This is one of the first times out using Northland Tackle's Rippin Minnow on a B'n'M Russ Bailey rod. It was hot weather, and finding the fish meant finding the deepest weed beds.

This is the first part in a series to see how B'n'M's 75 Series Crappie Rod & Reel Combination performs with various lures for different species of fish. Primarily I'm going to target bass and crappie, but Don Banning, who will be a guest in another video may be going for other species. This is a special 75th Anniversary combo that I teamed with 8 pound test Nanofil line.

This time around with the Slide N Glide worm some different ways were found to fish the plastic worm with the hollow middle area. It was Texas rigged with an XPoint worm hook, and rigged on a Daiichi Butt Dragger. Next time it will be fished with the included insert weights that go inside of the hollow area.

This video was filmed about an hour after Don Banning had given me a couple of packs of the new Slide N Glide worm. So, I decided to film and give it a try at the same time, in an area where the fishing has been a bit tough. Hot weather and scattered thunderstorms greeted Pepper and me at the lake. At the end Pepper says his own way of closing the video without barking.

This was a quick trip to the water to test the new Blitz Lures' Pro Spin. A green shad Natural Forage Baits' Swim Bait was used for the body.
