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.

In this episode of Dan's Fish 'N' Tales® we had Roxanne Croegaert of Croegaert's Great Outdoors in Rock Island, IL. Roxanne was showing up different types of tents and how to select one. She also made a Dutch Apple Cobbler in a Dutch Oven over an open fire. This show was filmed in 1998.

In this episode we are fishing for bluegills through the ice, and giving tips on identifying fish and baits on the Vexilar flasher unit. There also other tips given along the way. Sorry about the flasher unit motor noise, but inside of a shelter and a microphone pointed in the direction of the flasher is not the best of situations.

This show was filled in 2007 and won an AGLOW Award in 2008. It was fishing with mulberries on Railroad Lake, located at West Lake Park in Davenport, Iowa. The show was suggested by my guest, a young Clayton Meyer, who enjoyed this sort of fishing, as much as he did bass. In fact, Clayton enjoys any sort of fishing..

In this video we discuss the waterproof system of the Plano Edge. It is also demonstrated by placing the box in a bucket of water and letting it soak while talking about how the different boxes had progressed to this new gasket system.

One of the most popular knots that I've tied on TV and in seminars has been the King Sling loop knot. People have come up after seminars to ask if I would show them one on one. It is an excellent know to use for horizontal ice jigs for ice and open water seasons. It can also be used on lures where a split ring to quick clip is used to give freedom of action, such as a crankbait. In this video I try to show how to tie this knot.

This is the Jiffy EG Lithium ION powered ice drill. Here we show the basics of starting and running the electric drill prior to going to the ice.

This video is in regards to using the Plano Edge Crankbait Box for Rat-L-Traps. Other lures are mentioned, but it will be explained as to why I prefer it for Rat-L-Traps. It is also demonstrated on how the box holds the lures in place, even if dropped or knocked over.

In 1997 my cameraman, Brad Mosier, and I filmed an episode of Dan's Fish 'N' Tales® about Ozark shiner fishing on Bull Shoals Lake. My guest was Rick Eastwold of the Bull Shoals Lake Boat Dock, Bull Shoals, AR. Another episode of fishing on the lake with Rick in the Fall of that year, is also on this channel.

These are a group of photos that I acquired while Brad Mosier and I co-produced The World of Virgil Ward, which is a documentary for airing on PBS affiliates. The photos range from when the legendary Virgil Ward was a child to when he was in his retirement years. Other photos included are during the production of the documentary, which you can see in full on the Dan's Fish 'N' Tales® channel.

This fishing tip section with the late Johnnie Crain, was lifted from a full Dan's Fish 'N' Tales® show filmed in 2000. Johnnie gives several tips on using a jig combination

This was an episode suggested by people to start a new series called "Pepper and the Fishing Guy". From time to time there will be more of these where it is just me and Pepper out for a day of fishing. Nothing special, just fishing to see what we will catch. Pepper's favorite it the bluegill. Maybe because it is more of his size. Until we get a regular series these, as I said, will be a periodic episode of Dan's Fish 'N' Tales®.

Don't cut off the little display tap on your stowaway tackle box until you see this tip. A gentleman relayed how they helped him set up a very good storage idea in his tackle room, which can also be applied to sheds and basements - wherever you store tackle in this sort of box.

This time around we are talking about the Frabill Benchmark ruler, and some tips on using it in the proper way. Wonder what I mean? I'll tell you in the video.

In this show that Brad Mosier and I filmed on the Mississippi River we were fishing an exposed lateral wing dam, which was recently installed near the main channel for catfish. This was in the mid-1990's, and not long afterwards a major flood started the deterioration of this wing dam, which is now completely gone.
