How to Bench Press with Proper Form (AVOID MISTAKES!)

[@DronesTwinkies]

I am a newbie with lifting weights, and we are lucky enough we have these guys spreading the good word and teaching proper form.

Update6 months and I'm still loving this bench. kzbin.infoUgkxo_64lVTGMk7y4aXTPxPOcQ3YTLyQ6kYV I use it almost daily. I've gotten used to the small wobble and it's no problem at all. Love the storage, it folds right next to my weight set in the garage and hardly takes any space. I wish the covering material was a little bit tougher. I have a feeling that in a couple years it'll tear, but the bench is very well priced that I would just buy a new one.3 month usage review. Awesome bench for someone looking for compactness and storage. I did have to drill a couple holes to adjust my preferred seating position and leg bar position but that's only due to my personal preference. It's very sturdy for normal workouts, but for anyone going above 100# dumbbell press it wobbles ever so slightly. I would probably go with a fixed bench if that's the case. That being said i can accomplish 99% of my normal gym workout with this setup. Very happy with the purchase.

Thank you so much! I started my weight lifting today! after 20 years of procrastinating since I was 15 yrs old. I think no one is too old to start exercising/weight lifting. Subscribed!

[@happyreeper1]

get it

[@alvancarthigan3492]

always a good time to start weights! Hope things are going well

[@braydenhinkel9896]

this guy knows his shit, immediately felt it in my chest right after. crazy how much i didn’t know before this video

[@WoundedViking]

17 year lifter here. Learned a lot here. Already feel the difference. You guys rock.

[@TacticalTechGaming]

Great videos. Easy to follow and he doesn’t over complicate everything like these other fitness influencers

[@umaxfitness]

The first part is what i used to struggle with the most, keeping the shoulders back. Great to see you picked that up right at the beginning.

[@MixedMartian28]

Wow, I've been doing at home bench press workouts and I think that's the first time I've done it with complete proper form, I felt the difference. I was the person who felt it in the shoulders and arms, and that set I felt it in the chest. Thank you!

[@ohhRobs]

I’ve been going to the gym consistently for about 1-2 years now and I’ve never felt better. Well I’m only 21 but I notice a huge impact on my mental and obviously physical health. I like to re-watch proper form videos / different workout vids. Great explanation & well put together man! Dope channel name too haha

[@CharaTheChampion]

i saw an older video of this on your channel and tried it out yesterday. not only did ifeel it in my chest and less in my arms but i was actually able to do it alot easier too

[@williammcguire5685]

I'm 72 going to the gym lots of equipment you explain very clearly so even I can understand. Thank you.

[@ag.mortgagegroup]

It's been over 10yrs in my fitness journey. I usually do HIIT and circuit training but trying out a new strength program and want to compromise less form to volume. I found this very helpful.

[@joshuahyder3242]

I started weight lifting in highschool about 14 years ago and about a year in I hurt my shoulder while doing bench press. I have weight lifted on and off since then and made adjustments with my shoulder placement to nearly eliminate any pain or clicking on the heavier lifts for me. I watched this video this morning and then went through my chest routine. There is no pain at all. Zero. Nothing. I can't speak for all injuries, but if you have shoulder pain or clicking follow this mans guidance and it may very well fix those issues. I wish I would have seen this earlier, but I'm glad I did now.

[@ChefofWar33]

I hurt my shoulder throwing a nerf ball 10 years ago. Still isn't the same. Smh Now I have to focus so hard to bench without any clicking or catching.

[@uzoegbeogu9617]

The best video on bench press I've seen....clear, detailed, instructional and sensible 👍👍👍

[@samuelroggers2713]

I shit you not, so helpful, I whiffed my first set of 180x5, got frustrated, watched this, and then pumped out the last 4 like they were nothing. Correcting your form adds do much to your bench, actually so helpful. Thankyou.

[@lisi79]

These videos are always so humbling, I’ve been working out a while now and after watching this and going off the cues I realised I can’t lift as much as I thought I could, no doubt my shoulders/arms were helping out too much before.

[@BeFreshBeSharp]

Never knew how much I didn’t know till now

[@5.7hemi79]

This is a great senior quote

[@alialshokan9036]

U guys r the best, explaining things other trainers never even thought. Best trainers’ channel ever.

[@dellgoodman9937]

Thank you for the guide. I was benching 45kg and not really triggering my chest. I get more from the cables. Turns out I was letting my shoulders roll slightly so it was just missing my trigger points. Still get more notice from the cable machines. Practice makes perfect!

[@bagsmode]

Knew I was doing something wrong with my shoulder hurting.. now I know. Thank you!

[@WesG2502]

Excellent video for rookies AND many veterans. I see so many people lifting with bad form.

[@aidanbmx3151]

Thank you so much I'm new to weight lifting and I was wandering why my shoulders would get sore and now with my shoulders back I feel way better

[@andrewtasso5323]

I agree with what another commentator said. This should be played in every gym. Your video was detailed and informative and helpful down to every second no time wasted. Amongst other forms and techniques, many people trying/doing things wrong or could end up hurting themselves. I’ve always played soccer and we pretty much only ever focused on leg workouts, core, and cardio. I’m 22 and getting back into the gym after taking time off for a couple years. I started a routine but fell out the first time at 20. I’m looking to make this a lifestyle and trying to learn as much as possible for upper body because that’s where I lack and your video on form looks fantastic. I did chest today and it burns but I’m going to follow this to the order next time

[@CosmicSarah1448]

Newbie here, thanks for the advice, it's fun doing weights and this will help me improve my form pressing. I cam so far only lift the 20kg bar but hopefully will be able to lift more one day

[@tilt49]

That tip to keep the shoulder blades back for me is absolute gold. I have been benching for quite a while now, and my max is 145 lbs. However I always moved my shoulders forwards. Gonna have to back to the gym and see what my max is with proper form. Thanks for the video man.

[@MindPumpTV]

Glad to help!

*Years* from now you'll (still) be learning

[@yapiciyapici5874]

Short, clear and precise! Awesome!

[@dapper892]

I benched at 90 degrees for a long time, I found it hard to keep my shoulders retracted that way. These days I go narrower and tuck the elbows way in. It’s saving my shoulders and hitting my chest/tris much more directly without shoulder recruitment.

@@TheDailyBread515 The bullshit is from you. I have seen guys with smaller chest size than me and bench more than I can, so chest size is not an indication he knows or does not know how to do it correctly.

[@jasonjackson3114]

Perfect. Elbow kept back under the bar. So often I see personal trainers lately, telling people to let their elbows move down towards the body. That's great if want to primarily work your front delts, but that's not what the bench press is for.

[@Christoforos01926]

probably the best video for bench press great job bro

[@RunsWithBricks]

Incredible video. Concise straight to the point and visually helpful as well, starting out back in the day I used to feel a little wonky in my shoulders because every chest day I would use my shoulders a lot especially when I fatigued and channels like this helped me learn to better my form and help prevent any further stupid injury I was probably doing to my body especially my rotator cuffs. Keep up the great instructional videos.

[@someperson121]

I really appreciate the video! I'm new to this and tbh it's intimidating for me. I want to make sure I'm doing things properly. I'm scared of injury. I'm only lifting right now without weights (45 pounds) and (50 pounds). (Two 2.5 ib weights). I started at 24. I want to be strong. I'm tired of being weak.

[@AlexEckelberry]

Probably the best video I've watched on bench press. The others get way to wordy and technical. This gives the details simply and clearly. And I discovered that my form is wrong, so I can't wait to get back to the gym and try this again.

[@crache4758]

Getting into weight lifting is way more complex than I thought

[@baltaza]

This will apply to almost everything in life worth doing

[@sooperdooper4389]

it definitly is but just get in the gym, focus on form, but honestly just go at first if form isnt horendous at first, just lift weight for however long it takes and you will eventually learn.

[@ChefofWar33]

It is if you want to prevent injury. Any monkey can sling weights arround and end up hurting themselves.

[@rombaft]

Jacked ow already mate?

[@Aaron_A80]

for sure, i wish i looked up more info beforehand, because when i first started lifting i severely hurt my back and had to lay off for a long time! preparation and information is key!

[@tomtheunis6861]

I'm not shure that you went over this, but how far is you're bench itself placed under the bar? What I mean is, are you're eyes in line with the bar when you're underneath it? Great video, very clear and usefull, thanks

[@Anime4Lyfee]

Question. How do you figure out where your head should be under the bar? Are your eyes directly under the bar when it's racked? Is it a matter of comfort for the person? 🤔💭 This is something I've always felt awkward about doing in the gym as I'd end up shifting around for approx 45 seconds beforehand and thus always stay on the machine or to dumbbells. 😅

[@vincentgambino9729]

[@360flipsarerad]

Really wish I watched this when I started lifting, built a home gym recently and went crazy benching every other day, now I’ve had to take 2+ months off cause I fucked up my shoulder with bad form. Can’t wait to re-learn this lift properly from this video.
