Never thought about fat grips adding range of motion in the bench press, but it totally does! I do one bench variation with fat grips per each 3 week wave of max effort and it has definitely helped

[@WenningStrength]

💪💪💪💪💪

[@MJHFTBN]

I’ll have to try the triceps in lats and punching hand cue! Looks like it definitely helps

[@WenningStrength]

💯💯💯

[@mightyquinn5135]

The eyes on the demo guy in the orange shirt. Lol

[@jakester5382]

I must of skipped a few videos because your intern made some serious gains since the last time I saw him on here! I’m going to rotate some of these in my program soon

[@WenningStrength]

We are running a serious hypertrophy program at the moment

[@palmieritv1109]

Matt- Now I’m gonna show you some key points when you get bigger and thicker. Matt goes under the bar. 😂

Great video today but I’ll tell you my over head press is weak and I’d like to see your exercises that carryovers to the OHP

[@CankleCankle]

Same, I haven't yet seen Matt breakdown OHP. Ive been doing them in the rack with the safety bars a little lower than shoulder height 2-3X's a week. In one month, im already significantly stronger at it and it has improved my bench press. I'll do them at the end of chest day and on squats day.

i love the chaotic press, have been using it for a few weeks but i usually do them after my main sets. if one were to use them for warm ups, how many sets would you recommend?

Reckon forearm and grip work also helps bench?

[@WenningStrength]

💪💪💪💪

[@TheJazzyjake1234]

If you wanted to make it a time under tension wouldn't you wanna shorten the range of motion to keep constant tension on the muscles/stabilizers?

[@WenningStrength]

www.patreon.com/wenningstrength Questions here brother

[@MrCarstennielsen]

Trying to push the triceps into your lads makes totally sense in the way that the triceps is attached or has original whatever you say in English on the scapula and the less whether that have is attachment will it is is on the on the bone but what about tears major Tiaras major sits on

[@MrCarstennielsen]

Hit me back if you want me to correct this one I dictated it and did not write it but tomorrow I'm back on the PC and correct any mistakes because this is really really important

[@sagsmg123]

There is a video on youtube by jeff nippard on bench press where he is giving scientific backing regarding arcing movement of the bar while benching. Is it a natural method to follow? Good or bad on shoulders..

[@WenningStrength]

If he benches over 600 then his advice may be solid

[@bradleyhedge]

100💪🏼💪🏼

[@FiddiTwo]

Matt do u sell anything one can use by themselves to mimic board press ?

Not at the moment

[@reedb5696]

Is the 5mm or whatever the fat gripz adds enough of a deficit to actually matter?

[@WenningStrength]

It’s about 1inch. And yep 1inch x10 reps is 10 inches x 6-8 working sets is 60-80 more inches of ROM. But who am I to say

[@reedb5696]

@@WenningStrength Looks like they add .59375" to the ROM for those who are wondering.
