HOW TO BENCH PRESS

[@zakk6675]

Seeing a lot of "this is the best bench vid I have seen." Bryce has so many example of "this is the best video about _____ I have seen" on the channel. Dudes a blessing for beginner lifters for real.

[@calgarybarbell]

Appreciate the kind words!

[@tmxchang3652]

I feel like I've watched every bench tutorial on youtube and this is by far the best. He explains things with such clarity, objectivity and depth of knowledge. Just subscribed!

[@calgarybarbell]

Thanks! And welcome!!

[@chaoyuezhang8814]

I used to watch jeff nippard’s bp tutorial, now this is my gold.

[@ErikBrabantsPianist]

This is one of the best bench videos I have ever seen. Glad I subbed.

[@TaKa-uq6us]

never gets old. this goes in my reference folder. great content to watch over and over. Thank You.

[@Joshuakartawinata]

I go back time to rewatch this tutorial over and over just because it’s so well done

[@zachsimpson2008]

This is the best bench press tutorial I have ever seen. Solid content! Subbed.

[@beeftitan38]

Dude starting with my hands internally rotated like that made a world of difference today. I actually felt my lats working. Thanks!

[@jamesvarnum5330]

I like the more serious tone I get from this channel. Subbed.

[@drewselby1]

After watching this my girlfriend and I went to bench (sets of 3) and used this as a guide to change our form and it helped immensely, so thank you Bryce!! Changing breathing techniques and adjusting grip and setup makes it much smoother to bench. Keep up the great content, it helps!

[@jijigo1]

watched a ton of bench setup videos over the past 2ish years and honestly this one video was the most comprehensive and helpful I've seen. Came here from Omar's channel and I don't regret it love the content!

[@aidabeco]

You guys are just awesome. This is the best KZbin channel and you deserve so many more followers. Content, quality, personality - fantastic! Thank you so much for doing this and making our time on KZbin worthwhile! Very entertaining and educational.

[@jcwalrus]

Although this video is a couple of years old, it is still relevant. I just watched it today (11.10.18) and used the cues on my bench. Let me tell you, it changed my life! I was much more efficient on my lift and I felt much more solid. Thank you for your awesome content old and new!

[@TheFirstGroover]

You should do masterclass my friend. Completely amazed by the skills technique.

[@helenaeklund9731]

This is def. the best video on bench press!

[@ilpuntouk]

Best how to bench video on yt

[@bakarone]

One of the best Binch tutorial

[@chris214a]

Love this video! I overlooked so many aspects of the setup and bar path. I consciously made these changes during my session today. I easily lifted 15 pounds more than what I’m used to for my working sets. I was confident and also my shoulders didn’t hurt! Thanks for making this!

[@michaelsparks9648]

I’ve watched hundreds of KZbin vids over the past 3 years and this is without doubt the best Bench vid I’ve seen. I’ve never even thought about leaving a comment before but after applying your cues my bench just felt right today for the first time. I found you via your Omar collaboration...more people need this channel, you should do more collaboration vids so people can find you. Good work fella.

[@brianpowell5802]

My form has been sloppy ever since coming back from quarantine. Watching this video before training today actually made a world of difference in my ability to cue myself correctly through my reps. Solid, solid video.

[@philandrews6300]

Best channel on KZbin for informative with no filler bs. Love it :)

[@justinc2167]

soon 10k!! good contents as always! thanks, mate!

[@calgarybarbell]

SOON!

[@thechinmoydeka]

Came a long way still underrated

[@RansomShoots]

Seriously one of my favorite channels period.

[@skude3]

i really like this grip it helped a lot with wrist pain

[@oliverrowe8648]

My shoulder was having a slight click when benching (no pain) but a bit unnerving. Your setup fixed everything thankyou!!! Bench feels really nice now!!

[@elisamariev]

This video helped me so much. Changing where I held the bar in my hand got rid of nearly all pain in my wrist, forearm and elbow during bench. I'd love to see a similar style video for squats!

[@sungodsuperman3699]

Good quality content my man! Keep it up!

[@chrissiren2080]

I didn't really know how much I was missing on my bench technique until I watched this. Awesome job!

[@TheDritch]

2 people have no idea about bench press! great vid. thx!

[@calgarybarbell]

Can't please em all haha! Thanks dude!

[@axelmnd]

As usually, great video sir!In general my bench sucks, and particularly I'm in trouble as soon as i set my shoulders. I clarify: I pinch my shoulders blades as much as I can but often the results is that, just after the unrack, I find my self with shrugged shoulders

[@leannemaguire250]

Awesome informative and detailed tips Bryce....use to hate bench but now it is quickly becoming my favorite lift...keep up the good work :))

[@calgarybarbell]

Same! Hating it less helps too haha

[@RebelloDeLemos]

the best yt channel...

[@DmitriyVasil]

thx. that`s some intresting setup. some new idea, that i never see before, try to use this in my bench press.

[@zballer724]

Fantastic video guys! How you set-up the shoulder blades was a great tip

[@calgarybarbell]

Thanks dude!

[@JeanJacquesBarrett]

Excellent video Bryce! What is that song throughout??

[@FrupertFunk]

This has been the best tutorial I've seen on youtube - keep up the great work man! Can't wait to see what you have to say in a squat tutorial!

[@aaroncrosby3108]

Awesome video mate 👍😉

[@MegaSarrow]

Some refreshing cues in this video that I'll be using in my training, good stuff

[@SeizedaJay]

This was amazing man. Just came from the gym and I felt my bench wasn’t right and this vid helped me %1000 percent. So grateful!

[@bgizzles420]

Really informative, will try to keep those tips in mind especially with the shoulders coming out of that upper back tightness during lockout.

[@jemag]

Damn the guy bringing the bar toward his face and losing tightness for other reps is totally me. Great video btw

[@felixaltheim]

What about pausing? Especially if you don't plan to compete? Always the better choice?

[@asukas55]

Great content, great editing! Greetings from Finland!

[@iSeven1000]

damn, one of the best bench press tutorials on youtube. srs

[@mykemathews]

You put together some pretty awesome instructional videos. Can we get a squat or conventional deadlift video next?

[@Y.ben31]

Thanks for the video man ! Do you have any advice for leg drive ? Cause its the thing that holds me back the most ...

[@togsTK]

Thank you for such an informative video. I realised that at heavy weights I do that thing you described where I bring the bar lower towards my stomach than usual then have to front felt raise it up. I always thought that it was a loss of tightness but the way you explained it was a real revelation to me. Any tips on how to improve that? Any special exercises or accessories or is it just a question of practice?

[@dillonbedell362]

Subbed. Thank you for the video.

[@jamesvarnum5330]

I really enjoyed this video. I finally broke a plateau that I've had and I think I'm finally on track to break 225(i suck at BP). However, unnoticed that for sets with a lot of reps I struggle with breathing. Do I brace and hold throughout the set or do I reset and take a new breath each time?

[@johnmarch9280]

[@victorrdz3209]

which type of lifting you consider give more strength, in raw or equipped?

[@VitoDRF]

My bench absolutely sucks. I’ve been stagnant for years now trying all the tips and recommendations I can find. I know I come off the chest slightly low so I’ve been correcting that but it doesn’t seem to help. Super deflating feeling. Maybe I’ll submit a vid for FCF.

[@blove8396]

Bryce, I got a quick Q. Do you think that geared lifting has made your raw lift grooving funky, or do you not feel a difference? Thinking of making a transition into single ply next year, trying to get as much info as possible. Good tutorial.

[@calgarybarbell]

I feel better on the bench and deadlift for sure. Having to be super conscious of my positioning and tightness on both so the equipment doesn't throw me around has been hugely beneficial. The squat I think I was losing a bit of power out of the hole from the equipped stuff, but not much.

[@haikuancheoh2418]

thanks! this helps!

[@L3x4Pr0ne]

Do you want over 100k subs? Because this is how you get over 100k subs. Great content so far. Keep it up!

For a second I thought your comment was one of those advertising bots to boost subs lol. Only time will tell, but thanks dude!

09:00 lockout with triceps

[@CaptDantastic]

Nice lesson. Would you say that you have a larger than average grip on the bar though? It looks like your pointer fingers are on the rings. I know it's idiosyncratic but I always thought it was "more correct" to go narrower otherwise you are just doing a wide grip bench press, and therefore it's said to be easier. I know that for me, I can handle more weight when done wider. Arching and less range of motion seems to be the reason why. Thoughts?

[@calgarybarbell]

I find my press is stronger wider for sure. Not sure about more arching but definitely less ROM. As a powerlifter my ideal "correctness" as you've put it would be whatever allows me to move the most weight. So wider = better for me.

[@spl0tt1]

Maybe this is a stupid question - but is this just for powerlifting? I've always thought wider grips were unsafe and my wrists and arms should be straight when the ber touches my chest. Thanks

[@calgarybarbell]

No, this is how I would coach gen pop lifters to bench as well. Maybe with less emphasis on trying to arch as much, but definitely not because anything I coached would be “unsafe” for anyone. It all boils down to trying things out and seeing what works for you!

[@spl0tt1]

@@calgarybarbell Thanks for the reply man. I'm just a regular gym trainer and I've felt lately that my grip is too narrow, so I'll play around with widening it and see how it goes. Thanks again.

[@ashdalepitter8445]

@supertraining06 pl0x notice this guy

[@jankhalil2065]

You have a very good arch,did you always had that mobility or you worked on it?and how can I improve mine?!!!

[@fadymitry3562]

thank you sir!

[@noahhtibb120]

try breathing in through ur noose before every lift it is how you are built to breathe and i have noticed better bracing and i can hold my breth longer for my meets when i max out.

[@ciarfah]

I have short arms and I have trouble unracking (my gym doesn't have adjustable hooks) I'm considering switching gyms because of this

[@dessertlimbo]

PyreGnome Ay maybe try using an adjustable squatrack or floor presses

[@ddunn987]

People talk about almost pulling the bar to your chest but I don’t have anywhere near enough tightness in the bottom to do that. It feels the same as it does at the top. Maybe I’m still not tight enough.

[@ddunn987]

Yeah you weren’t tight enough actually. You fixed that shortly after tho

[@gdlrnz7]

how to squat vid!

[@calgarybarbell]

Patience haha

[@jamesxmorgan]

Hey Bryce, How do you feel about people poking your belly button when you're unracking the bar for your Bench Press?

[@calgarybarbell]

It's a good cue to tighten your belly button/umbilical apex fossa

[@jamesxmorgan]

C'MON DUDE!

[@LinhHuynh-vh7xy]

Can you please talk more on the legs drive please!

[@calgarybarbell]

What do you want to know?

[@VangoghM]

In one of the other videos he mentions how leg drive is used to create your arch, instead of this one where he says that its just to maintain position. Pushing with the legs to drive the chest up was an 'ahah' moment for me.
