- When the bar is on the chest, the bar should be stacked over the wrist, and the wrist should be stacked on the elbow 1:37 Do not tuck or flare your elbows! - Do not let your wrist go back or overly straight whilst benching 3:24 - The bar sits in the lower third of the palm with a slight cock back of the wrist 3:50

The five pillars of squat series really helped me fix my squat form. I can't wait until the five pillars of bench series is completed!

[@oisinbergin6844]

These five pillars of Squat, Bench & Deadlift videos are golden. Such a good find

[@fluorspar4677]

Chad fighting the mosquito was the true highlight of the video!

[@beau3291]

Absolutely great workout tips for bench techniques.

[@JeffRElliott]

This series is great and Marisa Inda is amazing!

[@adrenaline19]

Brilliant video, thank you.

[@Top_Weeb]

These videos are amazing and deserve way more views!

[@B3tterTh4nU]

I like the pinky squeeze queue for both the bench and deadlift. It helps me stay tight more than any other queue.

Aquiles Dias what's the book called?

[@aquilesgravera]

Practical Programming for Strength Training... That's really amazing! But there's another one, called The Juggernaut Method 2-0, that's incredible aswell... You should read both of them! :D

[@LinetteArroyo]

I rarely bench because I’m not sure how to position my hands/wrists. Thanks for this video! 😄

Linette Arroyo i could train you, and then we can finish off with cardio back at the crib on the mattress

Nice :)

i can never really tell if my arms are too tucked since i always bench on my own and tend towards a narrow grip to avoid shoulder issues. hate to ask but whats going on at 4:36 looks like a big scar or maybe muscle where i don't have any

[@The02wooley]

Also think of bending the bar on the negative move this will help with internal rotation of shoulder and prevent injury.

[@charlcoetzee93]

Scott Wooley I hate when people say this without describing in which way to bend the bar

[@mentoriii3475]

Charl Coetzee bend it towards your feet parallel to you not vertical

[@mentoriii3475]

I always hated benching because of a long time shoulder injury untill i learned this, it didnt fix my shoulder pain 100% but helped a lot.

[@Jacob-ec6st]

I'm a 6 ft male with pretty broad shoulders but for some reason I struggle with using a wide grip. My standard grip and what feels most comfortable to me is even more narrow than her standard grip in the video. It's something that is a bit of a mystery to me because logically I should be stronger using a wider grip and putting more of the load onto my pecs vs my triceps but I just can't push as much weight. Anything wrong with that?

[@AsifIqbalMunir]

Any opinion of the bull dog grip?

[@hindy51]

It feels kinda difficult to know am I really overtucking or flare out my elbows too much.

[@worldsbuffestloremaster]

hindy51 have someone film you.

[@drumrit]

Film yourself. sit your phone against the inside of a dumbbell

[@csrnoobilainen450]

1:35 can long arms affect that? I tried so many times to create that and i didnt get it.my arms are way too low

[@grizzlymanverneteil4443]

Oh, I'm supposed to grip it. This entire time I've just been pushing it with my knuckles. Hope this "grip" thing works.

[@theylivewesee1674]

what lifts will also be included in the pillar series??

[@JuggernautTrainingSystems]

They Live We See squat, bench, deadlift, sumo Dead, Snatch, Clean, jerk, front squat.

[@YourMuvva]

I'm so confused. We were always told to not flare as it is safer but having the bar and elbows stacked seems like a bit of flare. Looks sore.

[@MrStrutxD]

i read your book and im a bit confused. do i do 10s, 8's 5's 3's, then switch to intensification, then do 10 8 5 3, then realization? or do i do 10's accumulation, intensification, realization, then 8's accumulation, intenisfication, and realization?

[@JuggernautTrainingSystems]

Anon Ops 10s for all. Then 8s for all. Etc

[@MrStrutxD]

ok sweet! that means i can make adjustments to my TM really fast... damn can't wait to see continual progress

[@MrStrutxD]

One more question, is it safe to run the JM Method for upper body only 2x a week completely using the JM method? (so skipping the 5/3/1 that i seen you incorperate) What i mean is: 10s wave 2x a week for accumulation for ohp, bench, and row then intensification, realization etc 2x a week. so every workout would be the rep ranges you prescribed twice, and maybe with only 1 amrap per week. thank you!

[@harrymorris9406]

Question: does having bigger breasts shorten the range of motion for female PL's, or do the have to squish their boobs?

[@Adumbfartzarano]

Harry Morris yeah I actually want to know he rules on that

[@gracefool]

The former: the rules are only that the bar is touching.

[@lutze5086]

Massive fake tits = reduced rom

[@Shinyfilm]

Seriously though, its like a two board for every bench.

[@drumrit]

She's moving that bar like it's a plastic pipe. Damn

[@benlabour1545]

Why do ppl pull the shoulders back through the entire rep? The shoulders need to retract AS you lower the bar so your traps n rest of upper back are under tension then u basically turn the negative phase into a row n the pulling muscles get as strong as the pushing ones (no more platueus)

[@craigbishop2529]

Safety more than anything, rowing the bar downwards like you’re describing probably makes the shoulder less stable, retract your shoulders prior to the lift and keep them pinned back, I’m sure your back will get as much benefit from keeping the shoulders in place, than “rowing” what is effectively gravity’s workload anyway

[@jeromescaffidi624]

That doesn't turn the negative phase into a row. Have you heard of gravity?

[@marchelva5659]

If u r watching this then u r not the exception to the rule lol! So polite...
