[@GravityTransformation]

I hope all of you enjoy the video and get something out of it that you can apply to your workout routine. There are a couple comments from the "form police" that I'd like to address. Namely elbow flare. First before I get into this, take a look at Arnold Schwarzenegger benching here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHumdIpnj61nh6s Immediately after watching this make sure you send him an email stating that his elbows are flarred out, he doesnt know what hes doing, and that he should have his Mr Olympia titles stripped from him for being so naive. Or you can give me a minute to explain why benching like this is not a SIN. First, if you watch the demonstration portions of this video that I made you will notice that there is 0 elbow flare. It is only in the beginning of the video where I selected some footage from one of my own chest workouts, where I was specifically trying to target my chest, that you see elbow flare. And I didn't flare my elbows out accidentally. That's right it was not an accident, it was not a mistake, and Ive been successfully benching like this for over 15 years. Heres why: While powerlifters will look for the ranges of motion where they have more strength to lift more weight bodybuilders do not. If it was your first time seeing a powerlifter benching you would probably think that their form looks off. Why are they bridging so hard? Cant this hurt their lower back or their neck? Why are they involving their legs in an exercise thats meant to target their chest? These are all fair questions. Unfortunately there is a growing number of peope that believe that benching like a powerlifter is the only way to bench press mostly because these people are just repeating some information that they saw in another video that was repeating information from yet another video. With that said, I have to say that powerlifters are on point with their methods to increase strength especially with the bench press. Thats why all the form demonstrations in this video are done in more of a way designed to get stronger, mimicking many powerlifting principles. But like I said, I did include some clips of myself bench pressing during one of my chest workouts designed to target my chest. There is in fact a reason why many bodybuilders flare their elbows out more than a powerlifter and theres a reason why they dont bridge/ use their legs. I have a lagging chest, and when you take a wide grip and flare your elbows out it emphasizes the pectorals more. This works similar to the mechanics of a dumbbell chest fly except you can use a lot more weight. Saying something like this makes the "form police's" ears ring. It is blasphemy and breaks the sacred commandments of benching rules for this year (note: these rules may change next year in which case theyll all be parroting eachother again). The truth is bodybuilders only do the bench press to grow their chest. If they bridge like a powerlifter does on bench press they may be able to lift more weight, but they will reduce the amount of load placed on the chest muscles they are trying to target. Taking a wide grip and keeping the arms out brings the pecs into action by calling on them to adduct the arms/shoulder joint more than if the elbows were tucked in close to the body. Many people will tell you that this does not make a difference and that your chest will grow just as much if you keep your arms in. While some lifters can and do have their pecs respond to bench pressing with arms in, for many of us, all the regular bench pressing in the world won’t make a difference to our chests. Im one of those people. In over 15 years Ive seen drastic improvements to my chest and have remained injury free by switching up grip width and the angle of my elbows. I still vary up my bench press form. Sometimes I do "bridge" more and bring my elbows inward, like what is demonstrated in the demonstrations section in the video. Benching like that helps me increase my strength. By varying it up I'm able to get the best of both worlds. I can build strength and sculpt my chest. I can take a close inward grip and bring my elbows close to my ribs to target my triceps more. In the same way I can take a wider grip and flare the elbows out more to target the chest more. As far as injuries, both power lifters and bodybuilders get shoulder injuries. I've been lucky enough to avoid a shoulder injury for 15 years, but there is no guarantee that you will do the same. Injuries aren't always predictable and you cant just pin it down to a certain form to avoid an injury. Anyway I just wanted to clarify that there is a reason for taking different width grips and setting your elbows in different positions. Also Id like to say that there are many comments left unanswered on many of my other videos. These comments even if left unanswered are not always true. Take them with a grain of salt and make sure you do your own research and use your own critical thinking. I hope this video helped you out, and once again I'll leave this here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHumdIpnj61nh6s

I've always found that treating the bench press as a movement rather than a muscle has always helped. So if you get stuck on your chest - start programming in pause pressing. If you get stick in the mid point start trying some floor press, close grip bench press or even close grip block press. I know it sounds weird; but I got this from a friend who got me into general bodybuilding training into powerlifting and it WORKED (He did also bench 170kg at 90kg so I knew he couldnt be lying?) Now it's something I still do after 5 years of him teaching me this. I hope this just helps one person out there!

[@DisclosureMule]

A good rule of thumb to increase a max is sets of 6, starting at a weight at which you can only complete 4 reps. Do that 4 sets a day, at least 3 days a week, and watch the weight you can push go up each week. This will increase your max bench as a result. Just do not skip rest days for that muscle!

[@LeeEverett1]

The biggest mistake I see people do is bouncing the bar off of their chest and using momentum to do the reps rather than pure strength, DO NOT DO THIS!!!

I did something similar to dead bench. I put on more weight than I could bench at the time. Lowered the bar slow to do nice eccentric with Intention of doing several isometric holds at bottom.

Board presses can also be an incredibly helpful trick, especially since it trains your nervous system to adapt to the near-maximum or maximum weight that you will attempt to PR. For instance, I did this 3 times, once per week, before I attempted my 315lb/140kg 1RM, using the same weight for the board press (instead of boards we used dumbells) and it allowed my CNS to be able to more properly grip & stabilize the bar with that weight on it, minimizing energy leaks (in general, for any compound lift, as long as you can stabilize the bar/weight, you're strong enough to lift it at least for one rep)

I do a ppl like split so I only bench 2 times a week, what do I do

[@moses9647]

​@@dosomestuff1949 the short answer is you gotta do what works for you. if your number one goal is a bigger bench then honestly PPL isn't the greatest regime. However, if PPL is what works for you, then you can certainly tailor it toprioritize a bigger bench. I'd certainly advocate benching twice a week, but you should prob figure out what your weaknesses are in the movement. If your lockout is weak, you can throw in accessories like heavy dips, push presses, pin presses, close grip bench, etc. If you're weak off your chest, I'd prob do paused bench, deep paused dips, deep paused db presses. And you can also tailor your pull accessories to reinforce your bench. Horizontal heavy pulls will strengthen your lats which will increase power off your chest. Pullovers can also help a lot. Basically find your weak points in the bench and cater your exercises to make your weak points your strong points.

When I am down with the bar I try to keep my elbows closer to my chest similar like I would do the tricpes push and slowly when go up moving it closer to the bar holder. It is important to try weights heavier than your max and go slowly down with someone helping u going up. I did not do any detailed research on this topic I just like to bench and naturally came up with this technique. I’m totally naty, no special suplements or diet.

When I first started benching at the age of 15, I was able to bench 115 pounds. I am now 16 and set a new bench PR today at 170 pounds. My body weight is 147.8 pounds and I’m 5‘10“. I can bench 70 pounds for 43 reps. I gave up on bench for a while because I wasn’t able to get passed 125. then I realized I never warmed up or stretched out properly. That really helped.

[@cjscherer8458]

MPO. Scratch the floor bench. Replace with weighted dips , kills tri’s plus hits upper chest. Go heavy till failure, drop weight, go till failure .repeat until you have no added weight. Then burn out no weights 3 sets.

[@GenuineVibesOnly]

You the man Max .. great tips like always wished I would seen this earlier cuase for some reason my right shoulder been in pain since my last bench press Tuesday morning..

Excellent information!!!

Before the pandemic I remember struggling slightly to bench the bar alone. Then putting 10s on. Working that up to 25s. Eventually adding more. And finally getting to one plate on each side. 2 years later, I lost all my gains and I’m back to 25s. Watching videos like this help me remember the small things I forget now.

[@quanta8382]

So relatable

[@superflyslay9740]

damn I had a similar expriecne where i could barely bench the bar but then i worked up only to 25s and gained 10 kilos in 3 months, (im VERY skinny). lost it all in , like 2 months of not going to the gym and now im back at 10s. I belive this time ill pull thru though cuz now I know how easy it is to lose it all and I hate being skinny.

[@janzkee]

@@superflyslay9740one tip for being skinny and smaller is to add in calisthenics into your workout routine. Ive been working out since I was about 14 on and off but I kept at calisthenics to keep some strength and started seriously working out this year. Over the years ive went from the bar, to 10s and eventually when I was about 16 started doing 25s and now I can finally do 45 plates. its all in consistency, even if it takes you a long time.

I increased my strength by using the machine weights to first build muscles before building technique. Go heavy as you like & enjoy reaching failure every set without incident. Then take off 10 to 45 lbs & do a few more sets to failure decreasing reps. Repeat until you are down to 25 to 45 lbs & just do as many reps as possible to failure. Every 3 to 5 weeks, try adding 10 to 25 lbs to the regime. After 3 to 6 months, youll have built crazy muscle as to start lifting significantly more at a quicker frequency. Once satisfied with your strength, THEN begin doing bar bell bench press but go lighter than the machine & learn good form. It wont take many months before you can lift the same amount of weight if not more. On days when you just arent feeling it due to pain etc, just go super light & hit super high reps that stress your muscles to failure at about 25 to 50 reps. Take a short rest & keep hitting high reps of that low weight. Youll be shocked how much easier it is to lift heavy by the next week or 2 after doing light weight high rep failure exercises. What ive never tried but will try now is increasing weights gradually after 1 to 2 sets until i hit my max. The strongest guys seem to swear by this & its the only thing i can think of as to why after getting so strong, there are guys still way stronger than me to the point of it looking impossible to safely compete with. In the end, it seems to be just as they say: a game of tricking your muscles via making the workout harder yet safe(because the more you reach failure during heavier lifts, the more healing needed aka more gains). When you get used to hitting sets of only 1 to 3 with reps of only 1 to 5 cuz its so heavy, you are definitely lifting heavy enough to max how fast you bulk up in strength & size. Creatine supplements & eating plenty high protein meals to heal in time help tremendously as well.

[@HK_Martin]

Best answer. Go as heavy as you can. Sometimes go heavy enough to only do 4-7 reps. And at times rep it out will a bit less weight. If you have a spotter occasionally do a 1-2 max rep
