How To Bench Press With PERFECT Form

[@scazscaz1348]

Studies show that bigger benchers don’t just repeat the same path on the ascent but instead flare back towards the head earlier

[@triniscout]

You are right he is mistaken on this video.

[@gmontenegro9711]

Fact. The bar should be pressed toward the head then up. Not up then toward the head.

[@haroldblevins8567]

Smith Machine users are crying watching this video

[@Datboi_Av]

Bro nah fr 😂 me rn

[@lect0n7]

I’m one of the smith’s I’m like Agent Smith when Neo starts kicking his ass

[@hugh2hoob668]

Never used one it was a Sears basement bench or real bench no Smiths

[@jordane1438]

Dang that bro got the voice to match the size wooahh that is so cool I wish my voice sounded like a roaring boom when I talked . Oh and the bench video was good to

[@djo-dji6018]

Julius Maddox making an astonishing effort in order to feel the weight of the bar.

[@HebrewHercules]

The best shorts i get on my notifications. Squat university does it again

[@Bluemann023]

retracting my shoulder blades always gives my immense pain

[@Durinson1]

I know I had to aim the sternum, I knew IT!

[@hugh2hoob668]

It's naturally a nice resting point anyways 😂

[@pavlenikacevic4976]

There's some research showing that the ideal bar bath makes the J curve but the other way than what you showed: Pushing straight off the chest shouldn't go straight up but up and toward the head, and it gets straightened out near the lockout

[@lucassapiens3725]

I was making this mistake my first 6 months in the gym. Now my shoulder impingement is basically gone.

[@sallyhatchet559]

by that do you mean you were benching the way shown in the video and your shoulders are now impinged?

[@enelsonwilliam6377]

I've been doing that mistake from my first time on a bench press 😢😢

[@hugh2hoob668]

With good form it's such an easier lift too

[@anthonymartinez7668]

Nice collab😎

[@compwya4015]

No wonder why I bench press with a smith machine feels weird.

[@muza45]

?

[@smkurf]

@@muza45 the bar is fixed

[@kk08]

You can do overhead with that not bad at all, at least it's safe

[@joshuaabgrall8488]

His voice ❤

[@hugh2hoob668]

Not only inefficient id say DANGEROUS to do this even slightly off

[@satchycollins3985]

Thanks

[@Outlaw33]

Makes sense

[@thebestcraft7445]

Is it the same with inclined bench press?

[@rhl2903]

Go closegrip with the inc press then the bar path should be same

[@CaptainObvio]

Should the J path be followed when dumbbell bench pressing?

[@shawngastiger3886]

Straight wrist or let it lay back?

[@serwoolsley]

How about a lot of powerlifter benching the bar to what in your image is the upper stomach? This guy here is very heavy so i think it might be better for him to do like you say but other ppl who can arch a bit more might find the other way better for them

[@renaldthomas]

He is arched others exaggerate it.

[@valentinaman2257]

Muy bueno viejo

[@mj6400]

All the smith machine users coming to this video when they have a free bench lol

[@chrisvanleuven1771]

Ohhh 😮

[@detelina9365]

I'm afraid that shoulders are going to give up 😂

[@ejshmeejay3253]

How would you apply this for dumbbells?

[@youropiniondoesntmatter8909]

Just replicate the form with dumbbells.

[@ejshmeejay3253]

@@youropiniondoesntmatter8909 haha derp, yes that makes sense

[@ted6580]

You don’t. The weight distribution is completely different and trying to replicate a barbell path will probably just lead to injury.

[@ebenezersureshworkaccount8947]

What about foot positioning?

[@hugh2hoob668]

Wide like picture your knees trying to touch elbows

[@dukegarrow9776]

Who's this little dude training the big guy 😂😂😂

[@viedinternaute8132]

Those bare feet on the gym floor smh

[@shinigamiprince9101]

Is Julius Maddox?

[@lj3307]

You bet it is.

[@gmontenegro9711]

This is not the right bar path. Drive the bar back toward your face as you press the bar off your chest instead of initiating the press by driving the bar straight up. This makes the lift MUCH more efficient. | \ Like that ^

[@Spectator247]

Dude benching has no idea how to bench! he’ll never be a world record bench presser..

[@snorlaxcom]

Except that's not the middle of the sternum.

[@jonathanberg1434]

I‘m confused as well ^^ looks closer to the angulus infrasternalis
