Maybe his 26inch push up to 24 bench would be the exact same if he pinched his back for the push ups 🤔. P.s. looking forward to becoming a patreon next month when money will allow me , you provide awesome infos.

This is the second video I’ve seen this week talking about a straight bar path (the other being a video by elitefts). This is in contrast to everything I’ve been told about arching back to the starting position over the shoulders, which never seemed or felt right to me, in other words, I never felt like my bar path was arching back. Doesn’t really look that way on videos I take of myself benching. Interesting…

1:34 re: the foot position, can I push the feet in more if it feels much more comfortable? Atm it feels like my body is tighter if I do. Every other tip I will incorporate into my next bench session. Last question where does the bar go on the chest? Above the nipple or just below? I know its a silly question but while I am here.... Thank you for all the informational videos.
@Kyle1113 жыл бұрын
Not sure about the feet, probably whatever feels best. As for where it should touch it should be somewhere that allows your forearms to be perfectly vertical. No moment arms or anything to make it tougher.

Matt, regarding the retraction of the scapula, many people advise retracting and then depressing is this the same concept you would follow as well?
@MrCatgroove3 жыл бұрын
Yes, you depress throughout the range of motion and you retract during the descent and slightly protract during the ascent. The shoulder blades are supposed to move. The reason that the shoulder blades has to move is so you can fully lockout the bench and utilize your pecs more, which is impossible if you over retract since the triceps are attached to the scapula. You can even see the elbows unlock when he retracts at around 5:04.

Most videos I've seen on bench press technique, talk about the bar traveling a bit forward when lowering the bar to the chest, and a bit backwards when pressing the bar up. Is it it necessary to do so, or does the right way to do the pressing movement is only up and down in a perfectly straight line?

It's super hard for me to keep upper back tightness at the top of a bench press. I can keep it decently tight on the descent, but but as soon as I lockout, my shoulders roll forward. Don't know how to fix it.

@Boofmasterflex3 жыл бұрын
It's all about leverage. You are fighting leverage when it is away from your lockout position (over the shoulder joint). We have to touch the chest a few inches away from that to save the shoulders from damage. Once the press begins, the goal should be to try to get back over the shoulder joint as quickly as possible to reduce the amount of leverage you are working against.
@andrewclarke30442 жыл бұрын
If your triceps are stronger than your shoulder/chest it will move in a straight line. If it fades over your face your triceps are weak.

Great tutorial as usual. The bench is mostly taught to move the bar up in a circled motion towards the eyes, but I digress. I feel the best way is taught in this video. It just suits me better. Thanx for clearing up many issues regarding the bench press, such as it being an arm exercise, rather than chest, which no one talks about.....
