My Favourite BENCH CUE!

[@TunnelVisionAthletic]

Can you do a video on soft touch vs sinking?

[@AOEclipse]

Yes this.

[@annettetibbetts4229]

Alex Sutton if you have a girl do soft touch if you gey you sink in.

[@MrTheAndu]

David Woolson has a video on it

[@eg4681]

Soft touch is better

[@gracefool]

This is one of the best powerlifting channels on KZbin, so underrated. Thanks as always.

Just watched your latest video and it led me to this one. I just want to say that I have watched numerous bench press cue videos and not one has ever addressed rep work on the bench and how to finish each rep. Seriously no one has spoken about this and this information is vital to pressing. I have been having such a hard time with last reps in sets due to complete loss of tightness in my scapula and you have totally addressed what I have been doing wrong so thank you! Watching this video will add pounds/kilos to anyone’s bench!

[@sn5837]

I find making a reference point along the structural platforms in the ceiling really helps with this cue also

[@madmuso5]

This is spot on, great stuff. I always know if my shoulders start taking over cause my end reach distance feels normal, but if shoulders are pinned back and down it feels like your arms have shrunk once you get to the top.

[@nikkosenko6197]

Great video JP. Love the explanation and demos on this

[@cs3518]

thanks! great motor learning cues

[@dude157]

Just checked on mine you're right it finishes an inch higher, right at the end of the press my shoulders come forward, this could be what's causing me shoulder issues recently .

[@666ofdoom]

So true

[@monkmonkmonk]

Thank you. 🙏🏾

[@comically_large_chungus]

Jimmy Kolb says to treat board presses like they're a tricep exercise calling them board extensions. Would you apply that logic to a full rom bench press to try and minimize the scapular movement?

[@francescafp]

this is perfect, thank you!

[@lauravo3355]

First time I hear this cue, after 5 years of powerlifting. It's on the money!

[@CrunkChrizz]

Thanks JP!

[@TheZephyrKid]

Great tip!

[@trail_tales_tv]

Is there any cue you would recommend for fixing a good morning squat?

[@SnakeC666]

great video JP ! :)

[@Outstanding.Bill87]

This is a great video churrr

[@olteanucristian6308]

Hi JP. Wanted to ask how would you tackle the following matter in the sumo deadlift. It is said your shins should preferably be perpendicular to the ground. However, when starting the movement, mine do not stay perfectly perpedicular, but go in front for a small angle. The same problem I have for squats at a lesser extent (it's probably not as affecting). Is this a mobility issue? If so, how to correct it?

[@Yasill_Spiritual_Lifting]

Can you do a video about the hip thrust? Technique and how to program it

[@elaineekim]

You should check out Bret Contreras, hip thrusts are his specialty and he has alot of helpful information online about how to perform it

[@hindy51]

Hey JP if my bench is doing pretty good, do u think I should still try to shorten my ROM by widening my bench grip?

[@denmyos]

Maybe i'm misunderstading you. But isn't the bar suppose to travel from around the mid sternum to over the shoulder in a angle. So the bar ends in a 90 degree angle. (measured at the shoulder joint)

[@AOEclipse]

denmyos yeah, he's reffering to the distance the barbell travels, not the trajectory. The distance sometimes increases unnecessarily during rep work when lifters let their shoulders sort of "unlock" and force themselves to push the bar upwards further and further each time. That's my understanding of what jp said anyway.

[@denmyos]

Ahh ok, thanks :)

[@broader6822]

Hey bro, loved the video! Not sure if you've seen this before but when I retract my scapula my left hand shoulder is further back than my right, not sure whether it's a issue with scapula or something else. But if I lay on bench retract scapula my left side ribcage is more pronounced/higher and scapula is further back compared to the right. This means when I keep tight the bar isnt level. Any ideas?

[@saritamini]

Hey I watched a video from PRs Steve Denovi, he went over how foot placement can cause this imbalance. Tried it out for myself having someone check my feet position after making them even I was more symmetrical.

[@groovytony5568]

Could a do a video on your hookgrip experience :-) Seems like you figured something out recently, would love to hear about it :-D

[@sbyao]

Oh yeah! Short arms! :D
