Bench Press Properly With Ben Pollack (AVOID MISTAKES!!) | MIND PUMP

[@iAMbrahm1]

think there should be a video explanation on how Ben puts on his shirt....

[@ferna2294]

It´s painted to his body.

[@jordanmckinley2973]

@@ferna2294 lol fr

[@FrenchJae]

It's painted on.

[@cooperfamilylaw1303]

I think it starts by distributing the shirt across all the muscle groups used to put it on

[@rockyevans1584]

That's the easy part. Taking it off post workout must be a struggle

[@cocoarecords]

Been arching my lower back the whole time thanks

[@itsgalvador1349]

cocoarecords saaaame. This vid helped me a lot

[@reftu1489]

I happened to be exaggerating these cues, often ended up pulling my shoulder blades back and down so hard that I felt exhausted after a few sets from doing it rather than pressing itself. Really appreciate him sharing his knowledge.

[@opensourcecurrency]

Same here with shoulder blades. I also was arching lower back. Simple, common sense corrections and helped immediately...

[@basedstruggler3436]

Bro I thought I was the only one with this problem. That there was something incredibly wrong with my back, like nerve damage or extreme weakness. But I can do 8-9 pull-ups??! It was driving me nuts

[@harvdog5669]

Your never to old to be your best you can be... Thankyou for videos..

[@timeformetoact6]

Tried this setup today, works great for me! Thanks!

[@stanleyg2934]

One of the best videos I've watched on bench pressing

[@KarthikVenkataraman]

Elbow pain from bench because I'm bending my wrist backwards, learnt that from this video. Thanks!

[@benpalmer811]

This video is so helpful ; it helped me bench pain free for the first time in months.

[@KirkSlashEddie]

Been in this game for a long time, and yet just heard so many very useful things that I'd never think about. Also, it is very clear that you really know your shit! Can't wait to try this stuff. Thank you!

[@jayn8392]

I always hear different advice on where the bar should start. Is it over the sternum or over the eyes/collarbone? I always do it over the collar bone but it feels a bit more natural to just go straight up and down off the sternum.

[@stevenlam4577]

good tips! dont know why this video doesnt have more views

[@AZWallbreaker]

Thank you so much, Ben. I've learned so much from you with the the major lifts!!! I'm going to apply them to my next workout.

[@rightofleft6280]

took a lot from the video. Thanks!

[@BrianKellyisGay]

This is the best bench press video ever made

[@antonio576]

Excellent video, thank you

[@willh1945]

wish i saw this vid when i started benching. learnt the hard way🥲

[@smolboyi]

Dang thanks for this I am pretty positive I was arching lower back

[@giorgioregni2639]

great explanation, I really like how this is precise and to the point!

[@Prateek25892]

Ben sounds like Toby Flenderson from The Office

[@kiyan7299]

Thank you so much

[@opensourcecurrency]

Excellent, thorough presentation. Thank you.

[@ibrahimsabry7280]

You saved my life man

[@snorlaxcom]

nice tips you picked up from your session under dave tate

[@sh1pley]

god bless you, thanks so much

[@pozmarciv]

Good job Ben

[@Entertainable1]

Beautiful movement

[@priestof1]

I wish I had a damn coach like you. I put myself in the operating table twice and have arthritis in the knees know. Getting back into it after having quit for a few years. Lack of knowledge will kill you.

[@eshonnemitchell4601]

Great vid

[@MARS72JJ]

Not arching lower, arching upper. Thank you.

[@inyourdream309]

‘Tis is ASMR

[@666ofdoom]

Quick question bro, when you bench press, do you laid on your back delts or your upper traps? Thanks

[@robranko5931]

very smart

[@TheEddie2687]

The amount of knowledge i would gain from ben pollack and Dr Jordan if they were in the same room... 😬😬😱😱😬😬😵💨💨

[@MindPumpTV]

Awww snaps...we could make that happen

[@TheEddie2687]

What kind of queue adjustments do you make when you incline for bodybuilding training?

[@johnparrish5681]

He sounds like Toby from the Office

[@xinsanedefeatx]

I love how he made sure to baby the bros about their butts coming off the bench

Dope socks 🇺🇸

[@disacane8459]

if i am a bit stronger with a close grip (242) than a medium grip(235) does it mean i have a weakness in my pec? Should i correct it by training by pec more?

[@HalfAryanHunterGatherer]

Disa Cane no, just bench with a closer grip

[@---zg7ex]

i found i have difficult to touch the whole feet on the ground but rather only the toe of feet can touch.

[@StrongButAwkward]

So, what would the advice be for someone who is 6'1" (or bigger too I suppose) who would have difficulty getting their feet up on the bench for this sort of set up due to the bench not being long enough to allow for it be done?

[@patman4917]

plant your feet first on the ground where you will be coiled when you swing under the bar on to your upper back.

[@johndoiron9615]

I put my feet on the floor (out in front) first. It works for me. I'm not going to get much of an arch anyway, so I might as well have a better angle (for me) for leg drive.

[@dlo5640]

I'm pretty sure you could be 7'0" and figure out a way to get your feet on the bench

[@jacksonrichards3741]

What are those shoes he has on?

[@k1Ngb1G]

I've been eyeing those shoes since i found ben pollack on mindpump, what shoes are those??

[@ChedMcCheds]

Reebok stopped making them. Which makes me really sad because they are great gym shoes! Let's start a petition to bring them back!

[@k1Ngb1G]

Nick Tschetter oh man that sucks, what were they called? Hopefully I can try find some 2nd hand pairs

[@m4113rd43m0n]

actually they are bringing them back (eventually): kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGbPlJSwq9-jqM0

no one ever told me u were suppose to arch ur upper back n not lower back wow

[@r3alman]

It is just me or does he look like Jean Claude Van Dame?

[@devindran2021]

Looks more like Hugh Jackman as Wolverine to me...especially with the sideburns.

[@henrylahud5156]

More like Jean Claude Van Damn he has mad gains

[@laowai2000]

Wolverine +2

[@xenios7]

10:59

[@coja2588]

I bench permanently with my right arm like an inch further ahead out then my other arm so the bar is on an angle. I've tried fixing it and when i take out the bar and think my arms are the same they are still not

[@thelovedoctor6982]

Co Ja do more dumbbell work and do one arm at a time to gain the mind muscl connection and build even strength

[@ivan0799]

Just keep doing your bench with more and more even barbell position

[@genes1109]

Can anyone comment on why Ben crosses his arms at the bar as part of his set-up? that was never explained.

[@johnathanyinger]

Square up his shoulders with the bench.

[@xenios7]

8:32

[@IowaRetroGamerDad]

00:11 Did he say Bitch Press? Haha

[@bendagostino2217]

Look at the size of his quads man.

[@opensourcecurrency]

To my untrained eye, in the demo it looks as if you are not locking out the elbows at the top but in fact is keeping a considerable degree of bend. The lifts are all tight and controlled...so is this (1) intentional- for safety or to make the work harder? or (ii) an optical illusion? Thanks.

[@r3lentl3sGaming1]

opensourcecurrency he probably isn’t locking out because the weight is so light for him

[@EduardoCadena1]

Its a lot of stress on the elbow to lock out on every rep especially if youre going heavy. That 1/2 inch is not gona make a difference on your gains, but itll keep your elbows healthy. Same with dips i never lock out all the way

[@RonaldRumRaisin]

he should play wolverine

[@johntah2417]

Why is it when I go to unrack the bar my elbows are at differing angles. I was wondering could it be coz I’m double jointed in 1 elbow or is it to do with my shoulder position?

[@xarmy12]

is this video meant to (for?) powerlifting or bodybuilding ?

[@jameszbierski391]

97 4 powerlifting

[@garagegymbros2198]

anyone also benching with very wide grip like me? watch my video, when i have a closer grip i feel weakness in my shoulders.

[@Unholyspirit]

disliked for copying Athlean-X name

[@talijamir5395]

Too much theoretical and lengthy

[@danstafford5977]

That style of bench press using a super Arch is moving the Bar ... it has nothing to do with bodybuilding... your training your ego not your muscles... pulling your hands apart works the back... to work the pecs you have to push your hands together!

[@ohboy1492]

Good thing he’s a powerlifting and not bodybuilding

[@JoeySoSick]

Great tips but the camera angles were unnecessary lol. Over produced.

[@MindPumpTV]

you're over produced

[@smolboyi]

Joey N. GET REKD LOL

[@smolboyi]

more angles=more data

[@theredninja2817]

Joey N. dude shut up

[@johndoiron9615]

I was hoping for more of a side angle shot.

[@danstafford5977]

You have naive and gullible people might buy into your misinformation!

[@trynabsmooth7322]

Due.to short height I can't place heel, so I'm placed on my toes, my butt is not touching the bench, in powerlifting does that lift not count if ass doesn't touch the bench ?
