The great thing about incorporating the bench press into your workouts is that you will develop upper body strength, power, and massive amounts of muscle on your chest and triceps. But, with most good things, if you do them too much or the wrong way, the outcome that you are hoping for, will not be what you get.
HDL (Good) Cholesterol. HDL cholesterol is considered âgoodâ cholesterol because it helps remove LDL cholesterol from the arteries. Experts believe HDL acts as a scavenger, carrying LDL cholesterol away from the arteries and back to the liver, where it is broken down and passed from the body.DL cholesterol is considered the âbadâ cholesterol because it contributes to plaque, a thick, hard deposit that can clog arteries and make them less flexible. This condition is known as atherosclerosis. If a clot forms and blocks a narrowed artery, heart attack or stroke can result.
More HDL is better, but the benefits may depend on how you get there. In the simplest telling of the cholesterol story, HDL (the so-called good cholesterol) fights LDL (bad cholesterol). Like knights in shining armor, HDL particles patrol the blood vessels, snatching cholesterol from circulating LDL particles and from the dangerous, gooey plaque that lines artery walls.
