Bench Press GRIP TIPS! Bulldog vs Compression + Grip Width

[@BarbellLogic]

Sara is back to fix her bench grip! Are you making any grip mistakes???

[@Contopaxi]

Barbell Logic this video definitely showed me the mistakes I was making with wrist position! Thanks

[@johnpaulin1884]

This really helped! I was having wrist pain but didn’t think wraps was the right choice as I’m still early in the novice progression. I brought my grip in and started doing a bulldog grip and my wrists are so much better. Excellent videos thank you!

[@BarbellLogic]

john paulin Fantastic to hear! We appreciate the kind words!

[@danielsmith4090]

Geeeeez! So I guess the suicide grip separates the tough from the stupid. Didn't know that was a thing🙄

[@HPKazan]

I use false grip heavy on all barbell presses and never came any close to dropping the bar. - people don’t know how to use it. It all comes down to activating your damn thumb properly against your hand. With that said - I noticed the thicker the bar, the harder it is to do it. Thinner Ohio bars work wonderful for it. 28 ish diameter.

[@akumafuhen]

Wait so ive always done the close grip bench lol...no wonder my triceps are so huge.

[@raihaanali1296]

3:29 helped me so much, I was suffering from wrist pain every time I benched, thank you.

[@BarbellLogic]

Glad your wrist is feeling better and glad we could help!

[@c-a-rchannelallrounder1878]

That was super helpful

[@MauricevdHaak]

With the Bulldog grip you do have more the tendency to flair je elbows out.

[@BarbellLogic]

Thanks for the comment.

[@UnicornRyder04]

Hey I arch my back on wide gripe, close grip should I be flat not sure, have pain arching at close grip

[@BarbellLogic]

If you have pain, you can certainly reduce the arch. Ensure you're STAYING TIGHT as you touch the bar to the touch point.

[@joeblackburn9375]

Matt, if training for competition, do you use the competition grip or your preferred grip?

[@RoyallKing629]

Lol I’ve been doing the wide grip for so long and almost gave up because my chest

[@milawhiteway1180]

Thanks for the great content guys, the podcasts are gold,The content is truly invaluable. I know you got the SSC thing going but is there any chance of barbell logic general templates being released, like Andy bakers stuff, for all us cheapskates that can't afford the SSC white glove treatment?

[@BarbellLogic]

There are no Templates. We all use Minimum Effective Dose programming for our clients.

[@Notvixxd]

Esto serviria en un press plano en maquina?

[@BarbellLogic]

Yes, though it does not matter quite as much.

Applying bulldog grip while wearing nobull

[@hughradford5878]

What’re your thoughts on being in between compression and full on bulldog? Sort of like a happy medium? Best of both worlds?

[@Poopdudeification]

Bulldog is a kind of compression grip, they're not really 2 different things

[@npxmnpxm]

Helpful, thanks!

[@Unholyspirit]

My wrists began hurting so came here ty for the help!!!

[@rocas4087]

same, it has been hurting a little. But yesterday my wrists were on fire doing a fking pr. not sure if I got a wrist tendonitis, maybe not. gonna buy some wrist wraps :)

[@Unholyspirit]

@@rocas4087 sad to hear bro. Wrists help so fucken much I use them on low reps high kg sets. Gz on ur pr

[@sabrinahwang8843]

She keeps abruptly locking her elbows. That can't be good, can it?

[@pkavenger9990]

but i have a problem that my arms length is like Conor Mcgregor, which mean that they are longer than normal people. So if i dont grab the bar too wide, i dont feel the activation of chest muscles at all.

[@HPKazan]

I have long ass arms too and wider grip with a proper false grip has always worked great.

[@littlethuggie]

Thumbless grip =/= bad lol. There's also a hybrid thumbless/thumb grip.

[@BarbellLogic]

Good luck with your training.

[@cristian9365]

Thumbless grip = bad

[@mgtowphilippines8164]

I do hook grip in bench it works wonders. Its pike a safer suicide grip

[@zoro9503]

I use suicide grip for bench press . because when i use normal grip my wrist is paining

[@BarbellLogic]

You might try: wrist wraps football bar

[@actuuaalevythg1295]

THESE KZbin ADS are ruining KZbin!

[@user-fh8wg5ew6s]

Do ppl not realize that you should be benching with safety bars about an inch above your fully puffed out chest? Suicide grip is prob the best grip and the safety bars assure you can use it

[@flipmanonline]

Thats how I do it.

[@matthewminogue3276]

Wouldnt the bar not touch your chest if the safety bars are higher than your chest??

[@user-fh8wg5ew6s]

@Matthew Minogue so what. Just set it one inch above your chest. Plus most people don't actually have to touch their chest on bench press because once your elbow's break Ninety degrees and you get that little bit of extra stretch you don't want to go too far Down because it places all the strain on your shoulder joints that's why people get hurt on bench too

[@matthewminogue3276]

@@user-fh8wg5ew6s I don't consider it a real rep if it doesnt touch my chest. I'm focusing on powerlifting and my PR does not count if it doesn't touch and stay on the chest for a brief moment.

[@sravans149]

Instructions unclear Hit both PR and ER

[@manuelalvarino9709]

Holy guacamole nice video bro Im gonna try each one of them

[@kolecarterbenches]

I have a narrow grip and my arms are slightly bent in when I bench. If I go any wider when I am benching in the 500s it causes shoulder pain. I specifically bake the crap out of my triceps for that reason. I wish I could go wider but being 57 years old and benching in the upper 500s I do not think my shoulders could handle it. My thumb tips touch the smooth and I am a 360 pound bencher with wide shoulders and a big back. Any thing you can think of I can try to widen my grip without tearing up my rotators? You can see in this video how narrow my grip is. Most of my videos don't have a good angle on my grip width. Always looking for ways to press more weight. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqbOd4ajfc94ldE

[@BarbellLogic]

Hey Kole! Email your videos to [e-mail] and we can help you out there.

[@kolecarterbenches]

@@BarbellLogic sorry just got back from Worlds in Finland. I broke the world record, won gold, and got best bencher award. It was the WPC world meet. Over 600 lifters. If you look at my channel you can see about 100 videos of me benching.

[@BarbellLogic]

@@kolecarterbenches Well done man!!!!

[@jcboy7050]

Telling a female to keep their arms/elbows straight is like telling them to not be female 😅 no seriously....females, at least most of them, have naturally hyperextending elbow. 😬
