I never saw a barbell like you have

[@drew4u164]

Hey mate just wondering flat bench vs weighted dips for combat athletes?

[@rjm4031]

The video still didn't really explain anything

[@randombutspecific]

Not an expert, but the bench press form at 2:27 looks bad to me - the guy is thrusting his hips and his elbows look flared

[@fookyouu5363]

its not bodybuilding its for explosive strenght

[@randombutspecific]

@@fookyouu5363then what is it training? I cant think of any sports movement that would require that kind of hip thrust + press

[@abcdefg-yh2cq]

Good spot. His form is bad

[@abcdefg-yh2cq]

​@@fookyouu5363its unsafe and bad. U dk what ur talking abt

[@brahsumatra]

I’m stronger benching heavier weights on an incline press vs flat press.

[@folkk1514]

Damm I’m the opposite😭

[@larrylovesyougdn6433]

It feels better as well after being sore the day before

[@obezy8705]

That’s very weird but cool

[@abdul_sattar_9271]

I can paused bench 140kg for one rep but can't do incline even 100kg

[@samburman8577]

Hi Dane, gotta question regarding programming flat and incline. I'm asking this from a bodybuilder stand point as I'm in a hypertrophy phase. How frequently should you rotate flat to incline in terms of a week to week exercise. I've been alternating every other week flat bar to incline e bar and was just curious about your thoughts on this from a hypertrophic standpoint. Thanks for all you do for us Dane and members at Garage Strength

[@edgarbolden5742]

I love and prefer Incline Press over Flat Bemcj

[@GarageStrength]

Nice 💪

[@eskilgjse6977]

is it normal that i am stronger with incline db than flat db

[@rajashreemasali2057]

Same here

[@dipanjanghosal1662]

Because in incline you're also using your shoulders. In flat, you're fully targeting your chest.

[@christiandecastro3360]

@@dipanjanghosal1662 theres still some delt activation on flat and the chest can produce more force than just mostly delts. Maybe its a form issue

[@cataspirant-k5g]

No , u are a god

[@RyanAl92]

It means your bench press muscles' strength OR technique is REALLY BAD. Please fix yourself.

[@xavierortiz4478]

The fact the athletes in some of the clips have shaky form convinced me to download the app… Shaky form can limit strength, but these guys are powering through heavy loads which tells me the overall programming is REALLY good Impressive

[@AM-yx6on]

What can you replace it with? Can you share what excersices you do for chest routine?

[@Oldlady74]

What’s the pro of using that fatter bar ? I’m using it on incline. Now after a shoulder injury

[@Chris-hr4ls]

love the vids

[@user-zd8pv8bi5j]

Is neautral grip dumbbell bench press the better press for football and all rugby codes ?

[@samuelboleyjr8149]

Great videos. Question: how should I determine my baseline for the bench press? Thanks

[@alex-qo6qb]

bro..i got a pain on my rotator cuff..which one is the best for me incline or flat?

[@sterlingsilver5937]

Option C. Spend a month training other parts of the body and see if the pain goes away. I understand that you may want to stick to a particular routine but you could end up doing serious damage to your body. Just a suggestion.

[@soybean70]

Whatever makes less pain

[@MuayThaiBryan]

Try floor press

[@evilgeof1932]

Generally a rule of thumb is incline bench is 80 to 85% of your flat but everybody is different.

[@hectorbarraza8005]

Hey Coach, can you make a video on if high school athletes should use CBD? Thanks.

[@GarageStrength]

Very interesting topic to address. We will add it to our list, but it may be awhile before we get to it 💪

[@someguy8281]

do you count your athlete's lifts if their butt comes off the bench? not trolling, just curious

[@GarageStrength]

Yes. I think it's fine because we emphasize using the whole body to push and move the bar fast, but if it begins to affect the integrity of the lift and begin hurting themselves we will make them put their butt down increase focus on the chest and upper body.

[@someguy8281]

@@GarageStrength right on, I know it's villainized by most coaches and keyboard warriors so I appreciate your take on it. I personally don't think it's a big deal either unless you're a powerlifter (where the rules mandate keeping your butt down). I'm also really tall so for especially high effort bench pressing I have trouble getting significant leg drive because my legs are too long for the standard bench height. Any possibility of making a video about advantages/disadvantages/tips for taller lifters?

[@filipcza2]

My incline is like half of my flat bench.. I don't get these incline > flat guys... Unless that is all that they have ever done But then again Ive been stalled with flat for eternity so I guess its time for incline

[@Valkaneer]

I was trying to decide on what kind of bench to get my new set up and this video convinced me to go in the direction of an adjustable bench. Good info. Why are all of those guys butts coming off the bench? That's no good, says they can't actually handle the weight they are trying to push. When it happens to me I don't count that rep because I know I had to lift by body to get the height to lift all the way to the top, and if I had kept my butt on the bench I wouldn't have been able to do it.

[@SeenaTabatabai]

Flat bench lvl of strain on your outer pecs and shoulders is about 9 out of 10 and incline is a 3, if you do alot of other chest stuf and you want to do shoulder work I wouldnt do flat bench , if you do flat bench the full recovery time is like 3-4 days for me anyways incline is like 2.

[@JimmyFit_]

That thumbnail doesn’t work

[@ΣωτήρηςΚαλαντζής-η3ν]

I prefer low incline bench press and push ups.

[@abutorab1004]

Incline
