Met him randomly about 3 years ago at a gas station outside Wichita Falls. We were on our way back from a camping trip in Colorado. I had to return the rented travel trailer in Dallas. He noticed and was concerned about a low trailer tire I had. I had already planned to air it up and couldn’t believe who I was talking to. He shrugged off my fan boy excitement as you would expect and returned the focus to my tire. My wife and six kids were in the towing vehicle. I appreciate his no nonsense concern.

Not dying is #1, although we all do die eventually. Smart people do not die from a cracked chest benching or having their throat pinned down by the barbell, however. Whenever I see people bench in the gym, it usually looks like they're about to die. In fact, the seizures and spasms I see as they progress in their sets consisting of RPE-12 efforts are not unlike the death throes of soldiers who fell in battle. Okay, that was hyperbolic. In fact, I think I disrespected those brave soldiers. I take it back. Still, what I see in gyms deserves some sort of mention. It's like certain scenes from The Exorcist, you know, when that demon-possessed girl walked off the stairs backward on her/its hands and feet, that's what I see in gyms when people bench. Scary stuff. I'm too scared to even spot those people. The demon might jump hosts.

Whoever said not to arch on the bench is crazy. Never lift your ass off the bench, but always maintain an arch. Doesn't have to be a large arch, but there are so many ways to get injured on this exercise, proper form is the most important aspect to a good bench.

Ze TheGame you're a moron. it's pretty good to be able to rep out 5 reps of 225 if you're like 6 foot 3 and only weight 200 pounds. long arms make benching way harder when you're not really heavy. it's different when you're a little manlet who's 5 foot 6 at 200lbs.

Beautifully precise instruction. You have instantly and dramatically improved my bench press and I’m so pathetically grateful to you for it. Bet I’m the millionth person you’ve heard who is re-starting his strength journey after ‘life’ got in the way. A rotator cuff injury, caused (predictably enough) by sloppy technique in my younger days, has re-surfaced to become a desperately upsetting and de-motivating stumbling-block - the right shoulder grinds under any kind of weight. This is the first instruction that has given me hope of relieving it - and revitalising my impetus. Will be sure to play this video on a loop while I re-learn to bench with correct form. Grateful thanks, once again.

I really liked and appreciated this video. I'll watch it again for its great points. One item he didn't mention though, is wrist angle. I've done this and seen others too, where the wrist isn't kept straight and thus allowed to bend back when doing heavier weights. It's a rookie mistake and a huge set up for wrist injuries. Very avoidable injuries too. So remember to keep those wrists in proper form as well.

I tried the cue of pushing my chest forward and out and my back arches, is it suppose to arch? When I was training in a professional basketball 'environment' they emphasised keeping points of contact on the bench including a flat back.

Alex Sandalis Yes, proper bench press form, as pertaining to the individual, typically has some sort of arch.

Alex Sandalis Everyone has different philosophies on this. Some say yes, some say no, it really is just down to you and how comfortable you are doing it. Some say that having all points of contact is a lot safer and will result in less injury, which makes a lot of sense as your stable. However, having a slight arch allows you to lift slightly heavier due to your shoulder blades being locked.

Jackmerius Tacktheritrix Thanks great response. So safety and injury prevention the pro for back flat and power output the pro for arched back.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Starting Strength. The progressive overload is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of overhead press form, most of the barbells will go over a typical lifters head. There's also Rippetoes nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his number of sets - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Bill Starr's routine, for instance. The lifters understand this stuff; they have the glute development to truly appreciate the depths of these squats, to realize that they're not just below parallel- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike starting strength truly ARE DYELs- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the rep range in Rippetoes day B of squats, which itself is a cryptic reference to Zyzz's initial workout method. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Rippetoes genius unfolds itself on their lowerbody. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a lower back injury. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5kg of my own squat (preferably lower) beforehand.

has Brett been working out for a while? I'm new to the channel and I was pretty shocked to see someone who I thought was benching for the first time in his life, bench 225 with such ease. Most guys in my gym (note this is a commercial gym similar to planetfitness) can't even lift that.

his quintessential advice and focused support of the "main thing remaining the main thing" is his forte. If you have back problems or shoulder problems or marital problems, some form of squatting is going to give some level of cure. A real refreshing view of applied daily living philosophy. A coffee table genius. Focus will carry you through.

These videos have so much useful information, but the cameraman is dropping the ball with his poorly chosen shots. First he missed the hip movement in the OHP video, then in this one the shot was out of plane when Rip was demonstrating the correct position on the bench.

Great video, Mark is awesome. You too Brett. Prob the best bench how to video I've seen and I've watched a bunch. I have issues just using/feeling my chest for the bench press movement. Chest flys are much easier for me to feel that my chest is doing the work rather than shoulders and arms. Pushups too. The problem when you've gone 37 years without chest muscles. 😢
