INVENTOR:
JIM BRADFORD
EXERCISE:
BRADFORD PRESS
Two-time Olympic weightlifter
and US silver medallist Jim
Bradford developed this exercise
to supplement his shoulder strength
in the clean and press. This
move keeps constant tension
on the shoulder area, making
it a tremendous accessory
movement for any pressing variation.

HOWTODOIT:from either a
seated or standing position, grip
the bar like you would for a normal
shoulder press. Then drive the bar
up and back, as if you were drawing
a J with the barbell until it finishes
just below your skull. From there,
push the bar back into the starting
position. This exercise is often
referred to as the rainbow press
because the bar path resembles
a rainbow’s curved shape.

LARRY SCOTT

EXERCISE:

SCOTT CURL

The inaugural winner of the Mr Olympia

in 1965, Larry “Legend” Scott packed

some serious arm size on his 170cm

frame. He cited the Scott curl –

a variation on the preacher curl

• as the primary reason behind
  his 50cm pythons.

HOW TO DO IT: with a dumbbell in one

hand, set up on a preacher bench so

the pad is at the bottom of your pecs.

Extend your arm all the way down.

Flex the forearms and biceps, and

curl the weight up. Extend back down.

INVENTOR:

DAVE TATE

EXERCISE:

The CEO of Elite FTS and arguably the

most well-known powerlifter of all time,

Dave Tate has tried every technique

and method out there. As a result,

the exercise index on elitefts.com is

a virtual encyclopedia of training tools

and techniques. In need of bigger and

stronger triceps for a bigger bench

press, Tate experimented and added

this lift to that list.

HOW TO DO IT: lie on a bench, holding

two dumbbells with your knuckles

facing one another. Bend at the elbow

until the dumbbells touch your chest.

Now press the weight back up.
