If you need bench press help...

[Ascendant]

I've been asked by several of you to put up a video and some tips, whatever that means. So here's a quick video of 225*I don't remember. I'm showing proper form, and broke it down into the decent and ascent for a few. I've got to get to work, but I wanted to get this up so you could ask questions and when I get home tonight I'll answer them.

Pay attention to leg drive, elbow/forearm position, and angle of decent.

Thank you!

I notice you let the bar really bury into your rib cage. Or is it just below the rib cage? I never let the bar do this. I'll try it next time.

Have you ever broken a rib bouncing the bar off your chest?

Great, a thread full of white belts. I am in; however, the vid does not work...

Where the hell did all these white belts come from?

GTFO. This thread is for white belts only.

Nothing makes a white belt thread complete like a failed video.

Now would all 2008 join dates please report to the heavies. Thank you.

vid works for me when i hit play, you can also double click and go to youtube and it works fine

 

[Donut62]

Damn you bring it really low on the ribcage. That might too far south for some feds. Not sure though.

Are you saying I have a shitty bench?!?!?!?

Thanks for the vid. Questions:
1. Do you have problems sliding across the bench when leg driving? This has been a big problem for me.
2. What are your thoughts on the Westside "straight line" vs. the ****l Milita "push towards dick, throw at face" techniques?
3. Grip width?

Edit: wtf? we cant say M E T A?

Ive been wondering why we can't say those 4 letters in a row either.

So... we now have a great example of a chest-bouncing, ass-lifting bench press that wouldn't white light at a high school meet.

Thanks.
