As an olympic style weightlifter I´ve been told my whole life to stay away from bench press. Now that I am a bit older and lift more recreational I´ve started to add it in my program. And frankly, I love it! Obviously it is not the most specific exercise for weightlifting and you shouldn´t overdo it as a competitive weightlifter. But for general athleticism, shoulder stability and overall upper body strength it is a great excersize. Also, the change in looks is quite nice to be honest. Adding a little bit of chest and arms to your frame makes a big difference. But what I found most surprising is how well it actually fits into my training. The thing is: Olympic weightlifting puts a lot of strain on pretty much your entire body - except your chest and arms. So whenever I am too beat up to work productively on anything else I can still do some bench press. I mean, I am literally lying down for this excersize... And I go away with a nice pump and additional training at the end. In summary: The bench press is really much better than it´s reputation. Many olympic weightlifters are downright scared of it, but they shouldn´t. You can easily add it as long as you don´t overdo it and perform with good technique.

I was 173cm and 50kg, please help me to become good Olympic lifting, By the way, is that okay if I take mass protein like bodybuilder?

I see this subject in at least a few of your videos, but I haven’t seen an honest assessment of the push against the bench: it’s a pushback against an unhealthy culture.

It's not the worst exercise out there but it's certainly the least necessary when it comes to the vast majority of athletes. Fortunately there are hundreds and hundreds of other things that can be done where are the bench press becomes or supplemental than crucial

Whats your intention with it? Like the bench press, how are you using it? How can you properly translate it to sports, performance, or whatever else. All that said, do it. Load them up.

Hahaha no dips are the squat of the upper body making the overhead press the front squat of the upper body😂😂😂

@endiosconfio2656 Ай бұрын

Horizontal dips, incline dumbbell or barbell press and shoulder dumbbell or military press are the only pressing movements athletes need if any athlete builds an certain level off strength in any one off these movements it will correlate on the field as well as reducing the chance off injury in my opinion

The bench flares the elbows and rotates the humerus without even flexing the chest. I usually use a natural grip to keep the humerus in place.

@MonkeyyFN Ай бұрын

I actuallly feel a really good contraction in my chest especially when going bar to chest, it's kind of strange to me how other people don't. After a few sets of heavy bench my chest pump is crazy 😅

@scott-hr3hd Ай бұрын

@@MonkeyyFN I get it. Even with your hands on the bar you can rotate that humerus the right way. Some do it naturally or at least they’re not tearing up their Supraspinatus between the scapula and numerous.

The bench does not flare the elbows, you my friend have weak shoulder rotators lmfao

@@ItBeNolanTho no. Look at every bodybuilder who quits because of this injury and get back to me. I press 250 and I’m older than them.

I will always prefer push ups to bench. More versatile, no equipment needed, but it can be loaded. But dumbbell presses are a really good way to build the chest for athletes. That's what I'd use the bench for, to build muscle mass for the chest.

Also, it makes no sense to me to just completely skip an exercise that works compound muscle groups, and that includes bench as an exercise.

Sorry, but the pullover, not the pullup, is the squat of the upper body. It is one of the only movements that substantially engages both the chest and lats, much like the squat engages the quads on the anterior side of the lower body as well as the glutes and hams in the posterior. Pullup just doesnt have this same muscle activation on both sides of the coronal plane, it's pretty much posterior only.
