How To INSTANTLY Bench Press More Weight

[@AonGuardian]

Its an overall technique to bump the PRs but eventually youll reach a point where raw strength will need to improve to progress past the wall

[@danielweber4090]

well obviously a weak person can’t bench as much as a strong one. i don’t see the point of this comment. i don’t think anyone saw this and thought they can bench 1000lbs now. the point is to have a more efficient, stable, bench press

[@AonGuardian]

@@danielweber4090 youre thinking in extremes. If you engage more than just anterior delts, triceps, and pecs, then youll find a more efficient transfer of momentum into lifting heavier. Whether its just the bar as a PR or 1000 pounds in your example, using better mechanics can lead to better gains

[@AonGuardian]

@@danielweber4090 everyone reaches that wall or plateau in strength output. Improving on form or technique can push back that wall just a bit (or a sizable amount if form was really lacking)

Jen’s little pulse training at light weight is my max bench weight 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@creyes4182]

I didn’t try my max bench with this but I got 365 up like it was 225 when I used this and braced my back and lats. I was on my 6-7th set and kind of burned out so I was surprised. I knew I could get it if I pushed, but it felt so light lol

[@ebenezersureshworkaccount8947]

"hips to the bar" is a good cue

I gotta bench pr coming up tomorrow y’all wish me luck

[@bazookabulldozers]

what was your pr?

[@faresmhaya]

Does this translate to heavier weights only, or does it also help in increasing strength/hypertrophy in the chest muscle?

[@cristianpadilla3250]

Good question 🧐

[@MrSham3less]

Strength and hypertrophy is not mutually exclusive, but better leg drive will improve bench performance

[@facelessnameless]

Generally hypertrophy training favours disadvantaging a lift, getting more out of less weight. This is a technique to make a movement more efficient - rather than to increase mechanical tension. I wouldn't focus on leg drive if hypertrophy is your goal

[@sirtheplague366]

@@facelessnamelessWith leg drive you can move more weight on the concentric, and load even more than usual on the eccentric, which is stronger than the concentric. Creating more mechanical tension and allow your body to adapt to heavier weight

[@facelessnameless]

@@sirtheplague366 I see that argument used a lot but it always spirals to mechanical advantage for strength gain and favoring low reps high weight which is not ideal for hypertrophy specifically

[@Eigus-BikeCo]

Enlightening!

FINALLY I UNDERSTAND LEG DRIVE

[@kakashihat2985]

When doing leg drive, does our heels have to be planted as well, or is it only our toes that need to be planted?

[@gamersproperty882]

I just learned that shit kinda naturally😂,when the weight was lying on my chest..

[@kalaicuevas1249]

Okay but did nobody notice that he’s rhymed this entire video lol

[@amaanali3414]

This really makes my lower back feel tight and sore

[@S.A.F707]

Bro everyone says optimal bench should be elbows not flared out and should be in 40-70⁰ and also movement of elbow should be stacked and bar path should be J and all that.But Jen Thompson never does any of that. I mean what is right?

[@ChiefOmp20]

Anything on the ulnar nerve contusion? Swacked tf out of my “funny bone” still hurts a week latee

[@logan2113]

Time probably. If you smacked it hard enough to bruise, that's not a one week fix

[@ChiefOmp20]

@@logan2113 That’s what I’m thinking. Just annoying, hinders little things, and slows down gym time. Just gotta be smart and patient

[@frankiejames650]

Been trying for several years and my butt lifts off the bench every single time.

[@Wafflz]

Bru today we went in the weight room for P.E today and I benched 145 and I could have used this 😭😭

[@hubianhubhub6397]

I’ve people would constantly have the leg drive active when picking up the bar, lowering the bar and pushing back up. What do you guys think is that good or should it be timed?

[@damiancarrillo9797]

Do u have to squeeze ur glutes??

[@TheDesNorth]

I still don't understand if leg drive should be constant or timed.

[@Jdl223]

Using your legs to hold tight and still isn't drive. It's where this confusion comes from, so constant isn't driving its locking in. Now what he's showing here is leg driving and called a heave. If you can move in anyway on the bench that means you have loose form and are inviting power to leak out somewhere. Mobility is the opposite of stability.

[@YG-kk4ey]

Thought you need to drive with your heel. He seems to drive with the front of his foot

[@benjaminzaoui9683]

No, not helpful. How do I keep hips from shooting up when grinding out a heavy press?

[@donaldkasper8346]

Leg drive lift, not chest lift.

[@Ale-mv3gr]

Three red lights on the first.

[@kiana7143]

Help.. I can't plant my feet on the ground - too short 😢

[@גבריאלמומחהלדיקורסיני]

Heel up or down???

[@TheHamsterMaster]

It also helps to be as massive and strong as Julius Maddox.

[@guyrombie7567]

It's legit I hit a wall at 270 doing the leg drive I got 285

[@cxa011500]

Hmmm...🤔

[@Bored0720]

Yep. I accidentally pressed my hips only "up" and I tweaked my low back from it 🥲

[@coolyoutubename16]

you know the word "towards" has a W in it? 😂 no hate, great vids my dude ✌️

[@danmart9087]

It has never made any sense to me to put that huge arch in your back. I put my feet on the bench flatten my back on the bench and push. It helps my core but it is harder to push the weight but you start adding weight over time.

[@mimoosa7390]

Arching helps to prevent injuries - especially shoulders

[@Nofrontleverforme]

Arching gives more chest activation and prevents shoulder injury
