[@Arcane.Knowledge]

Appreciate you sharing your perspective on bench press, thank you 🙏🏽 Love your work

[@AustralianStrengthCoach]

Thank YOU!

[@kurtl9856]

I’ve been arching my back the same way but flat footing it and felt that gave me a stable base. I will try the 45 degree tomorrow morning. Thanks for the tips and coaching!

[@kurtl9856]

Reporting back. With my head over the back of the bench and my feet at 45 I do feel more stable and was able to get one extra rep before failure this morning

[@Capluffy1090]

[@AustralianStrengthCoach]

Thanks 🤗

[@jisabrahamthomas7087]

Thanks coach

[@AustralianStrengthCoach]

Any time!

[@XFactor369]

Interesting. I’ve always benched with my heels down in contact with the ground.

[@alanvarghese7531]

Make a video please for heels down bench for competition (ipf rules)

[@AustralianStrengthCoach]

Ok I will. It’s the same technique that I’m teaching here but h just slide the feet slightly forward till the feet are flat

[@Thor_Gainz]

Hopefully Bas posts more consistently

[@AustralianStrengthCoach]

I’ll do my best!

[@YouTubeistheworst]

More KZbin videos please!

[@skilledinspeech9917]

You forget that some feds don't allow the feet to be raised, they need to be flat.

[@mattylindsayblackburn1877]

What belt brand/company do you recommend? Cheers

[@Adam-je4dy]

What if you want to use bench for bodybuilding physique surley you dont need to arch like that

[@wolfy9005]

People forget that the CNS takes a while to warm up, like grip. You might be able to get 40kg in a 1" pinch but the first 10kg feels heavy. A couple baby jumps and before you know it 40kg feels easy

[@keysersoze5094]

Does your chest still get the focus and workout? I find i dont feel the chest being involved as much? Thx

[@AustralianStrengthCoach]

The chest is definitely hugely involved, but this technique is definitely better for involving as many different muscles as possible to lift the heaviest loads, so it’s not as isolated for pecs as other variations.

[@keysersoze5094]

@@AustralianStrengthCoach Thanks for the info. Great video.
