Bench Press Elbow Position (Fix This!)

[@carstengrimm7221]

This is exceptional advice. I've *never* connected to my chest when benching, always struggled. This advice *immediately* got me to contract my chest by correct positioning of my elbows. Thank you for the outstanding coaching. Subbed.

Good advice, forgot about the clap pushups since I stopped doing the martial arts thirty years ago, still do powerlifting competitions at 71 at a good standard.

Elbow turn in help save my shoulders and I get a better contraction on my back and chest.

I like how he actually knows what he is talking about rather than just looking at a study and being like "MyoRePs!!"

[@QnceDreamOfYou]

I read greg nuckols's article and he said flare the elbow as press back the back but you said don't flare the elbow

[@Dmytroboyco]

I was also confused here... 😂 But am gonna follow both steps and choose what works best for me... At the end of the day everyone is built different structure wise and this will determine our biomechanics...

[@samburman8577]

Helpful video on form, it's crazy how technical the bench press is as opposed to brute strength. Your cues have been super helpful bro. Small question in line with technique, how do you feel about accommodated resistance using bands and chains in the bench? As always thanks again Dane

[@GarageStrength]

Yeah of course. We think accommodated resistance can be fun and actually help with body/mass building, but in terms of loading more weight and improving the actual lift, we have found that proper rep ranges and speed variations affect progress more long term. Keep the questions coming man. Really appreciate the support 💪

[@tim_tilson]

Excellent tips, brother. Gonna take this advice to the bank. Thank you!!

[@concrete3030]

Great vid!!

[@chaitanyagad]

Great content, I have an issue with my elbow not aligned with my wrist while benching. Any tips to overcome this fault.

Wow what a big difference I sub

[@matthewminogue3276]

What would be the rep range recommended to train for a 1 rm? Right now i'm doing sets of 5 to 2 reps.

[@donaldkasper8346]

Stuck at 315 sounds like an amazing problem to have.

[@allampp2840]

When I bench press my left arm doesn't lock at the same time as my right

[@hossskul544]

0:24 major problem from the start, you shouldn't be looking at what anybody else is bench pressing, that's called ego lifting and that's not healthy and he just advocated for it, BS !!!

[@C17NRYL3D]

Aren't those high schoolers at 0:50 using really bad form? They are bouncing it off their chest and letting their hips go off the bench.

[@iMaDeMoN2012]

9:50 👀

[@ADAPTATION7]

Clap push-ups? Really?
