Bench Press Assistance FINISHERS!

[@raunvs]

Yes, please do similar videos for all big 4 assistance finisher. Thanks man

[@nexus6514]

I second that request I've been losing brain cells trying to figure the best assistance stuff lol

[@breag6936]

I'm definitely voting in favor of videos for assistance for the other 3 big lifts

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Thanks Guys! I'll Definitely do the other big 3. Any more Bench Questions for the video? I definitely need more than what we currently have. Thanks guys!

[@Wrightjl812]

Hey Brain whats your opinion on reverse grip benching? Also any advice on why my butt rises up so much when I try to use leg drive? Just technique issue or something else? Thanks for everything you do!! (Also a collaboration with Pete Rubish would be awesome!!! )

[@shaneallen6413]

How should grip width affect your bar path? Thanks for all the content man!

[@Luis_fmo]

What do you think about doing weighted dips as a main movement instead of bench?

[@obidya7]

yes please ;)

[@derickcofell9004]

Yes do this for the other 3 big lifts!

[@williamthomas4062]

I was today years old when I realized that the neversate logo is Atlas holding the world. I always thought it was a deer, or similar animal, with antlers. Brian, I treat your videos like the gospel. I love the content you put out. I'm halfway through week 11 of your conjugate program. This is perfect timing because I end up doing similar assistance work for each exercise. I'm looking forward to trying these. Although I'm not looking forward to the unloaded bar exercise. That seems like hell. I'd love to see finishers for the other exercises! Could you start with squat? That's my next max effort day haha. As always, thank you!

[@3rKoPlaysMinecraft]

soon I'm gonna make a petition for Brian to release a t-shirt with a deer logo

[@dodgerboyjedward]

100% want to see your assistance finishers for the other 4

[@motolifts]

Brian, you have the life you do because of the hard work you put in and your positive attitude. Spreading positive can do attitude and improving the world. Glad to hear Miles is blowing up, he deserves it with the undoubtedly hard work he has put in.

[@beaubjarnason4759]

Had to show my daughter you holding yourself out horizontally from your squat rack post. Don’t think she believed me that it was possible. She’s amazed.

[@BasementBrandon]

hoodies look dope!

[@waltherwagner9711]

My assistance work done in 10 minutes? Thats awesome. Would be great to get more of these finishers for the other movements. Thank you so much!

[@mr.d_88]

Dropsets never get old. It's fun with friends.

[@jeffmcinnis9443]

I'm an old man 58 yrs old been in and out of the game since 1977 and may I say this week was the first time I ever braced like I was supposed to be doing and man was it different the weight jumped off the floor and no pain in my back at all Thank you

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Haha glad to help my man!

[@michaellee9883]

Brian, I greatly appreciate how you interact with Miles.

[@dinosaurfiesta]

Thanks for being so generous with all your knowledge. It would be awesome to have this for all the big lifts

[@charliefranco5321]

Currently on second week of 4 horseman and already have a 10lb small PR in squat really happy about that thanks brian for the free program.

[@tysjt]

Another option for no friends drop sets is a mechanical drop sets. You use leverages that mean you cant lift as much first then move towards favourable leverages. For example, you may go, Feet Up Bench Press to Paused Bench to Touch n Go Bench without changing weight.

[@RidingToDarkness]

Hit! Similar videos please sir. It’s always a great educational experience listening/watching you. Thank you, sir.

[@jamesward2327]

I would love to see assistance videos of the other big lifts. I would also love to see assistance videos of the different strongman implements.

[@brainchilddesigner]

I'd love to hear more. Been running the Dark horse program for awhile now and any assistance is helpful

[@inakiloureiro8776]

I would be very grateful if you ever did a video on assistance work for squats

[@jamesanderson2544]

Please make a video for the other 3 big lifts

[@michaelgendron3420]

Great assistance finishers. Thanks, Brian for all you do.

[@matthewsullivan5058]

Absolutely brilliant video! I can’t emphasise enough how good these are.... the blend of power, strong and conditioning while being fun is a welcome sight for KZbin! You are on too a good thing here Brother.... keep going....these subscribers will rack up!!! Plus nice to see a true gent being a role model for us lifters!!

[@LadynamedLeo]

Honestly this is next level, so please do the videos on assistance work for the other big lifts

[@ryanrogers8211]

WOO HOO!!! THANK YOU SIR BRIAN

[@brettpeterson9488]

Brian I would LOVE to see an assistant excercise video for all of the main lifts. Squats, deadlift, Overhead Press

[@samuellydon-glynn340]

[@nolanclay8121]

that would be awesome to see more videos about assistance finishers on the other list. thanks a lot Brian you're an awesome inspiring guy!

[@tokkiev.3234]

I really admire the way you workout Brian! I personally don't watch the time when I'm in the gym. Atleast not while working my main lifts. Works the best for me.

[@Mr.Ciobanu]

yup, totally agree. Please do them ! i just finished week 2 and i`m doing banded stuff. I`m absolutely fried btw

Thank you Brian. big love

[@cs1374]

Awesome video and shirts! And yes, would love to see more videos on assistance exercises to the big 4.

[@chewy420100]

Brian the shirts and hoodie are awesome! can't wait to get mine and rock it! the video is on point!

[@RedSox0989]

For the Bench Q&A: For lockout issues, does a pin press offer anything a floor press doesn’t? Like, any reason to pick one or the other? For programming, any reason to program a neutral grip variation (like a Swiss bar 3RM) if we don’t get shoulder trouble from normal bench? If we want to focus on the bench, would you recommend dropping the overhead day and adding more bench variations in the week, or stick to one heavy bench focused day a week? Along the same lines, if we want to focus on bench, would you use some of the mindset challenges or conditioning to sneak extra volume in (like the bench max = reps, a push up challenge or something else), or would you stay away from that to get extra “effort” at the core lift?

[@hanjohanssen2530]

Thanks Brain. More ways to question our own sanity during workouts. just what I needed

[@andrewmcmahon6432]

I've been 1rep max testing this week, about to start the 4 horsemen , so more assistance videos would be a great help.

[@gklicker]

Instant like just for the beginning

[@claytonlott849]

Sweet, definitely looking forward to assistance videos for the other 3 big lifts. Anything to shave little time cuz that monster (TIME) is not my friend. Thanks for giving us so much your time man........Keep it up

[@tuckercontalonis8017]

Loved this video, please do more for other lifts.

[@everydayjoe-liveyourbestli5217]

Good vid...yes, please do big three. Shirts are badass.

[@singh.jayesh1866]

Although this is a bench video but thanks man u really fixed my squats those cues were on point!!

[@2010MrWhitewolf]

I would also love to see a squat and deadlift video to go with this series :) I appreciate the effort you put into your work mate. You are very helpful, thanks again :)

[@coreybeastor]

With not having cable machines, have you thought of investing in Rogue or Spud Inc pulley systems for your racks? Just a more cost effective way to add cables to your gym if you ever want to.

[@nwbinder]

This is great. More of these please.

[@e.douglasbrown9920]

you ever come to Vancouver BC Canada?

[@hilarioreis7461]

Please do this for the other big lifts! Thank you!

[@samsanders3150]

Brian, or anyone on the comments, I have been struggling with chronic patellar and achilles tendonitis. I need to hear your positive outlook on injuries ( or anyone else's). I made a mistake of taking some serious time off. The only thing this break did was to decrease my moral and question my potential. I loved the video where you talked about pushing through injuries and continuing to train around the smaller ones.

[@lachimsalim]

Great video thank you, your knowledge is much appreciated. 😊😊😊

[@jessiepothier2960]

Can you show the best form for moving heavy weight on th bench press

[@spaceghost7807]

The Burnout, where you just take 10 pounds off the bar while armping each set of weight and continuing till it's just the bar is my favorite finisher by far, my friends and I do that every bench session.

[@MrAbsolutedance]

I haven't tried the 4 horsemen program yet but I´m thinking of giving it a try later this year after I finish my current program or early next year after some sweet winter bulking :)

[@michaelhelbobndergaard3748]

I do like this and would like videos for the other lifts! Also Miles is a badass!

[@THeKiNGdomPRo]

You have my vote for the other 3! 💪🏻

[@urso656zhu7]

Hit! More please and thank you for the content as always

[@Ragincajun]

Love these finisher videos man!

[@mikehunt4569]

This is awesome. Please do more of this! :)

[@bionicfactory1]

Yes do this for the other big 3. Also how do you work on maintaining technique on the bench when lifting heavy?

[@JacobPuthoff]

Wow, I'm actually super pumped to try the empty barbell challenge!

[@nomadicstrength]

An overhead press version would be dope.

[@roccowalsh7271]

Good stuff as always Brian.

[@mfa-FH]

Great timing man.. Hurt my shoulder (AC joint) bout 2 months ago.. Hvnot bench heavy at all ever since just rehab + medication.. Just start off pressing again.. ¼ bottom ROM is a no go for now. Only can do partial pressing like pin press, floor press & bench blocks.. Can i still build bench press w partial pressing only? How shud i train my upperbody to build bigger bench

[@askhsh]

Awesome video as always Brian!! Any ideas on what to replace with, or how to change the bench press when having shoulder issues?

[@justinm1815]

No bathroom? What happens if you get the preworkout shits?

[@Wabajak13]

Hoooooly CRAP! Tried the 1rep per 1lb of 1 rep Max and oh my gosh....had to take a tiny break at 170 but got the last 100 in and my chest hasn't felt better in years. Highly recommend y'all try it.

[@Sevidical2]

MOAR!

[@rafificiation]

Appreciate this. Thanks

[@karlanderson2231]

that blue tshirt colour is good

[@dustythejones]

Definitely interested in the big 4 assistance finishers videos! As always, great content!

[@giovannicoppola2020]

bench question, the bottom part of my beach is uneven. one side is lower than the other. what's the best way to fix this?

[@3rKoPlaysMinecraft]

YES!

[@SethAKPI]

Awesome video as usual.

[@hunterb4241]

How many calories should I eat if I’m running your linear progression program? I am 5’11 150 and really want to gain mass fast

[@alexj7353]

Question on the bench press I was stuck at a bench max of 340 for two years didnt change anything and this year my bench shot up to 380 in less then a month and a half how ?🤔

[@adityavikram244]

Ofcourse do this type of video for all the big lifts

[@elilifts8724]

Can you do one for overhead press

[@christosniarros7677]

Q/A Do you rate the swiss bar? I find It's shoulder friendly due to shoulder issues. Lovin the vids by the way. Please keep up. From the land Down Under!!!!

[@pagaz2035]

Great vid Brian! QUESTION: What do you think about negatives to increase the bench press?

[@bazejnowak3675]

Hey Brian, when you release new conjugate programme mentioned in the 4horseman video?

[@MeisterSexy11]

Hey Brian how did you set up the pinch blocks for rowing?

[@boone_magnusson3196]

So far all your programs have one bench session per week. What are your thought on upping bench frequency, especially to something like 3 or 4 times a week?

[@benifer650]

[@klalakomacoi]

Switch to metric, then it won't be as bad.

I wonder if theres a single video where Nic doesnt do something weird... is that a gangsta wrap on his head at 7:47 ?

[@timgood9818]

A) yes on the other 3 lifts 2) thoughts on reverse grip bench for cranky shoulders?

[@WhatIsItToBurn]

Is this conditioning type of finisher a replacement for cardio? I do 15 minutes cardio at the end of my workout, I would prefer to do something like this instead but I don't want to do both =P

[@tysjt]

Would you do that empty barbell bench for insane reps idea for squat?

[@CJAdzify]

First off just got to say love the videos looks like neversate is an awesome place to train, my question is would you recommend adding in unilateral movements into a giant set? If so what unilateral bench press movements would be best?

[@joshjohnston7388]

I've gotten some pretty good mileage out of uni db press. As per Brian's big set style, I like doing uni db rows: one arm, then the other. Then immediately flip over and do the same with uni db press, one side, then the other. Easy to set up (one bench, one db), and very scaleable for L/M/H days. Pairs well with dragon flags if you're doing abs in there. I mean, you're already lying on a bench.

[@benj1b]

Bench related question; my erectors just above my hips cramp up fairly often while trying to brace on the bench press. I do my set up how you reccomend and drive my traps into the bench retracting my shoulder blades and have a small arch. But sometimes I cramp so bad I have to stop mid set. Is this a flexibility issue or something else? Thank you for any help, your videos have taught me a TON

[@jamesmtokyo]

benj1b G’day lad, if by erectors you mean your lower back then it’s most likely a issue with core strength. Same as how if your core is weak you get a sore back during planks. Try doing glute bridges holding for ~5-10sec each rep focusing on staying symmetrical and balanced as an assistance and see if it makes a difference

[@benj1b]

@@jamesmtokyo hmmm I'm gonna give this a try. Thanks. I can't seem to figure out what it is and I keep thinking I need to stretch more or something. But definitely gonna try this

[@kevin_rsg_18]

Yes on the assistance videos for the big 4! ... Also I'm new to the channel and love the content, but what does NeverSate stand for or mean?
