There is one lift that stands out as the most popular gym lift across the globe and is synonymous with going to the gym and lifting weights in general and that is the raw bench press. If you treat this exercise with respect it can be one of your staples for upper body training. Find out about the history of the lift and who have been and currently are the best bench pressers in this episode.


Orde Manevski hosts Balkan Strength Show, a podcast that explores the many dimensions of physical and mental resilience from a unique cultural perspective. The conversations here aren't just about lifting weights or following routines; they're about building a durable mindset. The central idea is that the Balkan region, positioned between worlds, offers a distinct vantage point. Here, the structured, scientific approaches often associated with the West meet the intuitive, time-tested philosophies of the East, creating a fascinating collision of ideas. Each episode unpacks how this blend applies to real-life training, nutrition, recovery, and the psychology of perseverance. You'll hear from a variety of voices-coaches, athletes, and thinkers-who dissect practical strategies while weaving in broader lessons about discipline and heritage. The discussions are grounded, avoiding fleeting trends in favor of principles that foster long-term growth. It’s for anyone curious about how cultural context shapes our understanding of health and capability, looking for substance beyond the typical fitness chatter. Tune into this podcast for a deeper, more nuanced take on what it truly means to cultivate strength in every sense of the word.
