Quality bro

[@aprilgabrielrodriguez7158]

My bf crosses his legs in the crunch position when he benches cause that's how his uncle told him it keeps you honest the crazy thing is he can rep 365 sets of 5 at 43 lol . He loves ya vibes and channel John keep up the greatness bud you're freaking awesome 💗

[@dustencross357]

That's a sweet as* handle bar stash you got there john.....😎

[@spacejunky4380]

Something I heard awhile ago which I need to start doing is pushing through your body. I don't feel the same push through my body in bench as incline bench but it's a similar idea.

[@jakobalbrecht7]

That Yo-Yo trick was insane

[@Yezir760]

Cool stuff brother

[@bigbaba4542]

He should start his segment with "alright, hi everybody, alexander here"

[@oliverbrierley7317]

It really was!!!

[@D0NMC]

I can't believe you guys are giving away this level of wisdom for free. Your channel is awesome.

[@mountaindog1]

Our pleasure!

[@bqrre]

Indeed! 🙏

[@AlvarWahle]

Love how he included the clip of his son. I really hope he knows and takes pride in how well respected his father still is today.

[@punxsutawneyphil3944]

10:58 this tip is the real deal. Learned it and I was able to add 20 lbs to my bench instantly!

[@garage_gym_connoisseur]

These might be my two favorite people in the fitness industry. John as an experienced down to earth bodybuilder and Dave as a no bs experienced powerlifter. Could listen to these two all day.

[@NicholasBTwine]

1. Keep your back tight 2. Don’t move your feet 3. Grip - keep it tight. Squeeze hard. 4. Press body away from bar. 5. Leg Drive - tighten skin on upper back.

[@topherlions714]

been lifting 7 months. started at 75 bench press and have been working the last two months to get 135. shoulder cues never helped. tried this “engage lats” cue today, repped out 135 for four on my top working set. seriously. thank you. THE BEST tips

[@Camaro1019]

Ive watched hundreds of bench press videos. I think these are the two most helpful to novice/intermediate lifters I've ever seen.

[@JDYT-lp6xj]

this is the best video i've seen teaching 'the tightness' all cues exist for the right tightness

[@justinmorales1511]

Such an amazing dad man. Rest in paradise John 🙏🏽 Todays workout is for you 💪🏽

[@TheNiceguy1156]

11:00 for the crazy yoyo trick btw

[@Gates2Aion]

a lot of people never talk about the un rack position. That upper body tightness will mean nothing if you un rack the bar incorrectly. A lot of people will un rack the bar eye level but this will cause your shoulders to shrug up on the bench causing you to use your shoulders to un rack the bar.

[@mountaindog1]

correct. Dave talks about this alot in his coaching

[@ADAPTATION7]

You are right. I always say: ''Well begun is half done''. If you start with poor unracking, everything else will go to hell.

[@yettamon956]

so where you should unrack the bar?

[@erichernandez7664]

Yettamon I’m wondering the same thinf

[@yettamon956]

@@erichernandez7664 i found out, about nose to mouth level

[@helmutkrusemann9194]

When Dave speaks you have to listen. To be honest, this is by far the best video regarding strength education I have seen in a very long time. No bullshit, just straight forward and absoluetely valuable information! Thank you very much John and Dave! Please John make more videos with Dave, how to deadlift and squat. That would be awesome! Thank you very much for sharing so much valuable content. I appreciate this very much

[@mountaindog1]

they are coming this week

[@stevenkingsley7781]

For tip 4, I’ve really found the floor press a great exercise to initially find that feeling. I struggled with it on the bench, probably my first session visualising it whilst floor pressing and the change just feels natural

[@jeffP777]

I come here to glean knowledge and leave here thinking about that yo-yo trick.. he’s a pro. Thank you Dave

[@lukasscriver8312]

Currently trying to hit that 225lbs mark , this really helps !!

[@335wide]

dont need form for 225. form comes into play once you push over 3 plates

[@Nwwqofjfnskcj]

You read my mind John, just started to try and increase my bench press. Thanks from Australia mate👍🏼

[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

I really wanted your tips on the bench, thank you

[@Wowwow-tq7lu]

Wait, you work out? I thought you just watch videos and write comments.

[@dannybautista8817]

Wow wow. Ima started tracking where this guy comments. So far I’ve seen him in piano channels and fitness channels. It’s gonna be a long journey but it’ll be worth it.

[@Wowwow-tq7lu]

Dave Tate has lost so much weight!

[@HaydenGladstonePT]

He looks great!

[@michaelsuddeth9562]

Amazing tips! I've had a shoulder impingement since March from benching incorrectly and Dave explained perfectly why, I wasn't pushing my body away from the bar.

[@董家琪]

"Muscle f*ck" is now one of my favorite phrases

[@glynndudley8060]

I'll be honest Mr. Meadows I was watching this the other day and was thinking this is pretty clickbaitish and contrive. I watched it because you seem like a good guy. Then today I'm here between sets on bench and gave some a try. Mainly not moving feet and focusing on pushing the bar up instead of moving the weight are really solid tips. I been stuck at 6 reps of 185 on inclined bench for month and a half now and managed to knock out an extra two over all four sets just with this these two techniques. Just want to say thanks for that and I hope you are feeling better. Also, mad jealous of those yoyo skills the mighty mini meadows is putting down.

[@mountaindog1]

nice!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Xplora213]

Tighten the skin is such a game changer for me. It’s a completely different direction for the leg drive cue. It’s really really hard to describe how someone with poor musculature and posture can get tight but once you lose skin movement it seems much easier to keep it all together.

[@walidhaji9923]

I don't really understand what he means by tighten the skin can u explain it to me

[@hamzaabdullah1042]

I guess I can pause the Elitefts podcast for this

[@harmonwalker3054]

cant wait to try these techniques, it makes sense. thanks heaps

Hi John, I really enjoyed the video. I loved Dave's simple, no bullshit explanations on the 5 tips. I'm really looking forward to the squat video. Thank you for making the video. Cheers, Billy

[@victorhernandez8765]

So much knowledge! Thank you so much for the video!

[@ModeratelyFitAsian]

Good stuff Dave! Always finding ways to simplify cues we can use without overcomplicating everything.

[@mountaindog1]

You got that right!

[@wisemanfamilyliving]

Love the simple explanations. Too many channels try to break it down by too much math/science. I'm not going to know if I'm at a specific angle or if my fingers are x inches away from y location. But I can know if my back is tight. Thanks.

[@mountaindog1]

Glad to help!

[@floo7800]

This series is truly amazing man

[@maddoxjohnston9530]

On incline presses (machines,bench,db’s) do you follow the push cue as well? I’ve had the bar path landing right where my upper pecs are.

Staying tight explains why with lighter weight(like warmup weight) I struggle to feel properly engaged... The heavier weight forces me to engage under pressure, creating a more stable press 🙂
