[@Nostart30]

I learned what a coach should look like from Dave Tate

[@WtbgoldBlogspot]

Favorite part is the significant other lady in the background hiding behind the chalk bowl like mf'ing Golum from 21:20 to 21:45

[@drinkinouttacups2665]

Lmao

[@BaldOmniMan]

16:58 with Dave Tate’s hand checking for core bracing, you better believe he was tensing to the max

[@thomasgreen1557]

Wouldn't we all if Dave Tate personally checked your brace. It might even be involuntary lol

[@damonferrara22]

I am really guilty for releasing lat tension as I push the barbell from the rack. Appreciate the lesson on pulling from the rack. Thank you Dave Tate 🙌

[@StrengthHacksCoaching]

Man what a valuable experience, Dave is such a passionate coach it's inspiring to watch

[@loganmitchem]

I’m close to hitting 405 for the 1st time and I would love nothing more than to hit that at EliteFTS with Dave just being present.

[@davidec.4021]

Just failed miserably to hit a bench pr and this pops in my feed… Thank you uncle Dave

[@BluegillGreg]

Great to see a master at both lifting and teaching.

[@slicktrips]

Dave thank you and your team for doing these videos, I can't afford a coach right now nor do I really trust the cookie cutter approach that a lot of people take when it comes to strength training, so 7 months ago I started lifting I sifted threw all the BS on KZbin and found your channel the fact that you verbalize what people are doing wrong, correct it and give a short explanation as to why has helped me recognize my own flaws and gave me the tools to correct them, from the bottom of my heart thank you for throwing the info out there !

[@djrandlev2864]

ELITEFTS…. Absolutely quality as usual… and free…. Thank you

[@AM-257]

These Elitefts videos might be the thing that help me PR my bench for the first time in 2+ years.

[@Bar0n970]

I'm a newcomer to this channel but this series and Dave's coaching ability is by far the best out there. I've been binging this series and can't thank you enough for it.

[@eliteftsofficial]

welcome to the channel! We are glad you are enjoying the content and the videos!

[@baldeepnox]

You are a fucking King Dave. I'm currently doing the 16 week conjugate program elitefts has. love it

[@drinkinouttacups2665]

Which one bro

[@helmutkrusemann9194]

Dave make things so clear that every time I ask myself why I didn't get them before. Thanks a lot for your work Dave and EliteFts, Sam and everyone who make these videos possible. Its unbelievable valuable content. I appreciate that. You really help guys who struggles with whys and hows.

[@lord_slobulus]

These videos are much appreciated. To Dave and his team, thank you.

[@tobiasgreen8211]

This is brilliant. I've already learned a lot 7 mins in. Thanks 😊

[@anaussie213]

Got bench day tomorrow so this is perfect timing.

[@MichaelWarrenPerform]

His method is very good for people that need to minimize shoulder rotation above all else

[@TremaineLatrell]

What I would give to be able to work out with these guys once. So much damn knowledge!

[@kylemckinney_22]

This type of content is invaluable

[@brianhickey5949]

This is good learning - I wish I could see what Dave sees. I think I have a couple of adjustments to make - will try them this afternoon :)

[@RevelationWisdom777]

Man, would love to get the opportunity to do this and learn! Bench has been my number 1 hurdle/obstacle... everytime I keep getting decent I strain my left chest and haven't been able to figure out how to progress without being haunted by the reoccurring strain... It can happen out of the blue too, I feel great and so I keep hitting it and then wham. Of course, having an outside eye to cue you in can make a world of difference vs trying to self-correct or scratching one's own head in wonder.... might even be doing things wrong that one thinks is right and vice versa, maybe missing out on something major. I suppose I'm lucky that I've never had a big tear, anything bruise/detach, etc... But still, strains are enough to set you back and when they keep happening it's like wtf am I doing here, so much so that for a while I actually sidelined bench and focused on OHP only to finally say alright, time to focus on bench again and then wham, another strain lmao.

[@prescottosegie]

Great video very informative 💪🏾💯I can’t wait to learn from Dave Tate one day ima continue to speak 🗣 it into existence 💯💪🏾

[@taoofstefan]

every time I watch an Train Your Ass Off I am both entertained and learn at least one new thing!

[@z13l11]

I'm 17 and going for 500 lbs on bench thanks for the help Dave

[@Emresinho]

Please do this more, there are so many tipps here and there in the video 👌

[@manicmandownup]

And everywhere lol

[@coreyburleigh9009]

What an experience for those guys, I'd love to get a days coaching like this!!

[@JoseRodriguez-pq5sz]

Yoo Dave remember we love you. Thank you brother. MAY THE CREATOR ALWAYS BLESS YOU.

[@TimC19]

Good to see Kroc in his natural environment

[@boeydafunk3324]

I would have never noticed that was Kroc without this comment! My favorite thing about a real gym is everyone can be whoever they have to be. The only judgement is performance and weight on the bar. The weight is no respecter of persons, all it knows is strength and hard work

[@mikeanthony5206]

Ahh! That was killing me, I just could not place who that was. Thank you!

[@prasun911]

yk a coach is smart af when he says you should try wrestling shoes for better grip... why didn't i ever think of that 😭😭

[@TheNerdJD]

Sifu Tate... just watching these clips have provided more applicable knowledge than 99% of instructional videos on the tubes!

[@brianpropst4342]

Dave is a master trainer!

[@buddyryan875]

Great idea for a series!

[@Emilvn96]

Yesss finally, love these

[@Priimerra]

Dave is really the best coach on KZbin for sure. It is a shame he have not as much view as he should

[@michaelrichardson3169]

Can't wait to get into the gym and apply this information. Thanks!

[@jmikefitness]

My elbows go pass a fat pad but I still bench 300kgs raw. I never viewed how far my elbows traveled in a negative position but I can see that being a problem.

[@joacimh79]

Dave over here flexing the popeeye arms while walking around

[@yashhgami]

This was nice, always good to learn from Coach Dave about the bench. I've learnt more from him than anyone else on feet placement for the bench. I usually just bench the "bodybuilding style" for overall development with a shoulder width or just inside shoulder width grip and narrow for triceps, but I might need to switch to this style.

[@LeeH3nson]

Perfect timing when I'm benching tomorrow

[@neandertalensis1608]

Thanks for the excellent classroom instruction. A master !

[@teepressifer]

Tate is the ultimate coach. period

[@cankercanison92]

I wish the gym that I go to had a bench like that, it looks so easy to pull the bar out. The gym I go to you have to press the bar out because the hook is kinda curved

[@boom-bm1kl]

These videos are great but if someone doesn't know how to program it with proper sets, reps, weight, and when to add weight..?

[@greeneyeddevil1]

Hey Dave, thanks

[@drdnj]

12:47 what Amazing class.

[@slicktrips]

Quick tip for shoes that are slipping, take a razorblade and slash shallow hash marks in to them they will grip like new again

[@teflonarmored]

Awesome.

[@ronin_9]

Amazing video as always

[@Hextho3]

excellent as usual!

[@altruisticscoundrel]

Anyone else wish they had these same weaknesses, so they could improve?

[@Pibodabo]

Dave is jacked!

[@samthorne158]

Love this content so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@hamishbindrinkin]

invaluable video

[@manicmandownup]

Amazing

[@anthonycaruso6065]

I've never been able.to find a how.to.bench video on you tube before. This is so crazy. I wonder if they'll ever do.one for squats?

[@eliteftsofficial]

Yes - see our playlists for train your ass off and so you think you can

[@tonto403]

How are you avoiding hamstring cramps while benching ? Thank you sir .

[@marc-andretherrien1651]

I love Bench video

[@johnnyb4869]

Unbelievable video

[@nilo7727]

Excellent excellent!!👌💪😎💯

[@Otter_skin]

How is “I’m not feeling your tension” not an EliteFTS shirt already?!

[@jamesnason3327]

How does a group get so lucky to getting a training session at Elite FTS?

[@eliteftsofficial]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2WZiIaEeKuFh5o

[@YoungBuck914]

At 1:30 Dave says that if the elbows are lower than the bottom of the bench pad he won’t have that person bench. What would the alternative be? A specialty bar?

[@thegreatguy3829]

This?

[@Hextho3]

I work with IT teams (in no way exercise related) and its crazy to me how much I learn from almost every Dave Tate sentence. Just shows the depth of the coaching experience this man has. F-ing humbling.

[@cosmic_9]

What do you mean when you say you won't have someone bench if their shoulders drop below the bench? Do you mean ever or they need to work on getting it up for a better bench etc.

[@arkangel06]

Anyone know what Dave meant by elbows going past the pad and why they shouldn't bench?

[@emirbfitness]

great video

[@junfan9476]

so you arch your back and press your lats into bench i seen so many do that now

[@tonytrap]

Why the 25’s tho ?

[@danielghesquiere2011]

No such thing as a perfect coach, but in this context/setting its about as good as you get

[@LinkInBi00]

26:30

[@REVIVALFitness]

Arms shouldn't pass the pad... maybe this is why my shoulders are inflamed like crazy

[@brianpropst4342]

If you can arch like that you aren’t thick enough !!

[@brettusmcvet777]

Looks weird.

[@Quantum_Cam]

I’m not trying to talk shit or hate, but I’m sorry it must be said, a “plate” is 45 lbs, at least here in the US. And those same size 25 lb “plates” are false glory.

[@eliteftsofficial]

Watch Daves washed up meathead video where he explains why he uses them.

[@Quantum_Cam]

@@eliteftsofficial I have. And it makes the bromath harder adding up the weight quickly.

[@thesifagenda]

that was not proper form.
