A guy in the gym told me about moving my legs because the energy comes from the ground up. Thank God I go to a real gym where people know what they're talking about.

Amazing how much you can learn in four minutes. Glad to see allot of what I have been doing was correct. Explosive vs. Strength tip was great.

@luthmhor Unless you're trying for increased time under tension for hypertrophy, then you should always be thinking explosive. Even if the bar is moving slow you should be trying to make it move as fast as possible. It increases overall muscle utilization than if you're intentionally holding a slower tempo, and like he said, helps move through sticking points.

This guy is extremely knowledgeable and is giving great advice. I've had two previous shoulder injuries, one occurred while benching. Now I know why. I was doing it WRONG!!! However, I wonder how he would advise technique on bench if all you have to do it on is a smith machine???

@Toxxic88 There are two types of muscle fibers, fast and slow twitch. Slow twitch are more engaged in slow, controlled lifts, such as isometrics and negatives, while fast twitch are involved more in fast, explosive lifts. The way I see it, is to continually grow, you need to build each type step-by-step so that one type constantly gets stronger and supports the other in times of weakness. For eg. one week train for explosiveness, the next train for controlled strength.

Thanks for the great tips bro. The bench has always been my forte (at least relative to other exercises:) but after watching this I realise that I have a loose grip and need to tighten up. I'll give it a go this avo!

@berner According to Dave Tate, you want it at the bottom of your chest (so just below the nipples). This lets you keep your elbows closer to the torso (think about the angle between your upper arms and your ribcage when you're at the bottom of the motion). This decreases the stress on the shoulder and rotator cuff and helps prevent injury.

I have watched this video and his other video, the six week cure, so many times. Great advice. It's funny once you start incorporating his techniques how people who get their bench tips from Men's Health will come up and tell you you're doing it wrong

Could someone please elaborate on the last point he made? So if I want to get stronger and move past my plateau I need to have more explosiveness or less?

Hey Dave, I have a strange question, but its something that has been curious to me. Would a belt during the bench press hinder the energy transfer from the legs to the bar or would it help it? I hope it makes sense. I am just not sure, and I would like to know.... Thanks.

When I bench, where should I have the bar in line with? Should it be down at the nipple line, closer to the collar bones or between the collar bones and nipples?

I would love for my bench to increase, im sure my form needs work but once i hot 300lbs on the bench i feel sharp pains in my arms and biceps. I have to lower the weight VERY slowly or ill drop it BUT by doing it so slowly i lose my strength. Im at a loss here and need pointers. Wonder if dave takes emails and i could video tape my bench?

@matklstrength 13 жыл бұрын

when you say speed work is really important is this relevent to athletes who are training raw and not for competition, for a max of 5 reps?

@lllogical 13 жыл бұрын

whats the difference between elitefts and crossfit bench and squat technique? I want to get the right technique so I can build both explosive power and strenght.

Good vid! But the current IPF world champion actually places the bar behind his wrist, the bar is "hanging" in his hands.

@luthmhor 13 жыл бұрын

So is he saying everyone should do explosive lifting in the bench? Or that if your an explosive leaning person, then you need to train explosively otherwise you wont get the kind of workout that your individual body type needs to get strong? He started with the latter and talking about himself and his bodies tendency, but then transitioned right into a seemingly for everyone kind of general thing near the end, so I don't know what he really is reffering to.
