The hitch in his shot is reducing his gains in shots made. He's only 5'5", and that hitch probably adds 0.2 sec to his shot, which makes it easier to block. A fluid motion would reduce the time a defender has to get a hand in the way.

Watched this video right around when it came out a year ago. I've done nothing but focus on my form, and of course eating very well. Around that time I was benching 185x5 and that was super difficult. 215x1 was about my max. Just hit 255x1 about a week ago. and can rep 225x5 now. 1 year update: new one rep max is 285x1 Another progress report: 300lbs for 1 on bench. 255x5, 225 for 11.5 reps. I'm on track for 315lbs flat bench by years end. Since my last comment I've gone from 188lbs of body weight to about 194lbs while also chopping my percent body fat down. at 5.11" I'm 194lbs, with anywhere from as low as 10.4% body fat to 11.5%. I also recently exceeded 100lbs skeletal muscle mass for the first time (my gym offers in body tests which I take once per month.) I would like to see myself at 200lbs flat with the same percent body fat I have now. For a while I was plateaued, and then in June of this year I began taking creatine. Can't say whether it would work for everyone but I have noticed a massive difference in how I perform. That combined with a stronger diet has made me a much more powerful lifter. My squat this year has gone from 335lbs for 1 in April, to 405 as of just a few days ago (using leg wraps and belt). HUGE UPDATE 8/2024: Age 26 now. I've been plateaued at 300lbs max bench press for a while, but I've also dealt with multiple health concerns over the past 2 years. I feel older now when I workout and I can feel that my energy levels are much different. This might be ageing, but I also suspect 2 things. The big one is I ended up with Mono last year that went undiagnosed for a long time. I made the mistake of rigorously working out through all the fatigue I was feeling, and I definitely shouldn't have done that. My liver enzymes were crazy high (I don't drink or smoke) and before we concluded I had mono, my doctor thought the creatine might be impacting my enzyme levels. So I stopped taking that for a while and tbh that sucked. I lost a lot of weight (went from 197 to 188) in about 2 months and my gains TANKED. To make matters worse, I also got an upper respiratory infection that was quite literally the sickest I have ever been. Surprisingly wasn't covid, but I had a fever of 103 for 2 days and over the course of that week I lost the bulk of that weight. So now it's 2024, I'm still dealing with intermittent random bouts of fatigue due to mono ( it never really goes away). But as for my physical health I have worked myself back up to a 300lb bench and am strong. 315 still has to happen and it will. Still young enough!

Update6 months and I'm still loving this bench. kzbin.infoUgkxo_64lVTGMk7y4aXTPxPOcQ3YTLyQ6kYV I use it almost daily. I've gotten used to the small wobble and it's no problem at all. Love the storage, it folds right next to my weight set in the garage and hardly takes any space. I wish the covering material was a little bit tougher. I have a feeling that in a couple years it'll tear, but the bench is very well priced that I would just buy a new one.3 month usage review. Awesome bench for someone looking for compactness and storage. I did have to drill a couple holes to adjust my preferred seating position and leg bar position but that's only due to my personal preference. It's very sturdy for normal workouts, but for anyone going above 100# dumbbell press it wobbles ever so slightly. I would probably go with a fixed bench if that's the case. That being said i can accomplish 99% of my normal gym workout with this setup. Very happy with the purchase.

@@MikeY-fd6wm I have enough of arc. I don't do a huge arc as I feel that is cheating and shortening the range of motion too much. Too much arc also feels more like I am making it more decline.

Gonna try more work and changing the angle more upward like this guy in the video said.

When I get plateaus like that I start training with different rep styles (explosive, eccentric focus, high rep, slow tempo, 1 RIR, failure, etc.). And go sometimes even 20-40lbs lighter. Essentially just focusing on control and stability. I’m sure you do this, but incline dumbbell bench press can also help with overcoming the strength plateau. I would also say to change your frequency/exercises around. Cheers 🥂

I've widened my grip enough to where im not limiting range of motion but getting a good good stretch on my pecs, and ive tried straight sets, pyramid sets, reverse pyramid sets, and I still haven't made progress. I train chest 2-3 times a week and I dont neglect other accessories for bench press too, I go hard on biceps, go hard on triceps, shoulders, and I even have rest weeks where I dont go to failure and stay at a 6-8rpe. What do I do? If I've been working out for like 20 years that would make sense I would see barely any progress, but I'm still on my first year, I'm only 15, 6 foot tall, 140lbs. I'm just lost. And I forgot to mention my form is good, i've recorded myself benching and it looked good though I will check my bar path from now on.

I have the answer. You're 140 pounds. Eat more. I'm 6'1 and have never weighed less than probably 180. If you already eat a healthy diet and aren't hungry enough to eat more, just eat a couple Oreos a day. This will put you in a slight surplus.

Hi Jeff, I hope you can answer this for me: Shortening the range of motion makes a lot of sense for powerlifters who want to win their meets but is that really beneficial to us for the purpose of getting stronger and bigger? In almost all other lifting scenarios we tend to say that shortening the range of motion is a bad thing. There might be something I'm missing. Also, happy birthday! Thanks for all the fantastic videos.

Josh Stead Good question
@JeffNippard5 жыл бұрын
From a muscle building perspective there’s a trade off. Shortening the ROM slightly (all else equal bad for growth) will allow for more overload (all else equal good for growth). I personally think the slight reduction in ROM on the bench gives you so much more loading potential that it is net positive in this case. This is especially true if you simply include another exercise with a larger ROM such as a cable flye or DB press to compensate 👍🏼 that said, you should generally be seeking to maximize ROM, but in certain cases where a slight reduction gives a big pay off in load (arching in the bench press, using a sumo DL stance, etc.), shortening the ROM actually makes sense.

Thanks Jeff for this amazing program. ;) For now I have done 2 cycles of this 8 week program and the results are mindblowing for me. Started from 75kg(165lbs) and reached 87,5kg(193lbs) with first cycle. Second cycle took me to 95kg(209lbs). Only things that I changed in this program was using close grip bench instead normal bench press and I skipped lower body days because of my daily job. I have 6′2 183lbs ectomorph style body(small wrists, thin limbs), so my bench has been lacked my entire life. I am looking forward where 3rd cycle will took me. :)

Now after almost 7 or 8 years, I decided to return to Powerlifting when I saw some Bench press cup. I hope I can return to at least lifting 100 kg. Thank you for your free specialization

One thing I like to do is at the top of my rep, I drop the weight with zero resistance, and then I catch it a few inches above my chest. Usually you will push against the bar and gradually lower it. Don’t gradually lower, don’t push against it, let it drop and then catch it. This will really put stress on your chest to have to brace the falling weight and then push it back up immediately. I choose not to bring it all the way down bc it puts more stress on the shoulders. Another secret I have is I take two dumb bells and hold them vertical. I keep my elbow in towards my body and I squeeze the two dumbbells together as hard as I can while I do a press. The combo of squeezing and pressing really targets the chest

Damn. So today I decided to follow this advice after some time of plateauing on bench presses and added some leg drive and arch and generally more focus on the bar path, just to try it out. Just wanted to do a top set of like three reps of 100 kg, which is heavy for me, and then go down. But then I just did three sets of six reps at 100 kg, which is way better than I've ever done on the bench, just with a little tweaking of the technique. I knew technique plays a large role in bench presses, but damn, I didn't expect it to be that much. Thanks for the tips, they definitely help a LOT!

@fredmachine3 жыл бұрын
Not sure if I can make more easily understandable. First, the bar path. Try not to lift the bar in a path that goes straight down and up to the ground, but rather in an angle, a bit like if you did an incline press. Do a bit of an arc, and try to follow those arcs Jeff shows in the video. Step 2 is self-explanatory, I think. Just grip the bar wider. Step 3 is also clear, just do more bench presses. More workouts with bench presses, more volume, more intensity. Step 4 is doing top sets. So let's say you're normally doing three sets of 8-10 reps, maybe do the first set with a much higher weight for just two or three reps instead. The idea is to get used to heavy weights and building confidence. I hope that helped a little.

I did 5x5 all the way up to 80kgs and hit a plateau for 5 sets of 3 reps @80kg for at least 5 strength training chest sessions. I went back to 70kg 3x8 / 30kg 3x8 dumbbell press hypertrophy for 2 weeks, fixed all the cues for a good bench technique and went back to trying 5x5 again on 80kg. I managed to get 3,3,3,4,3 reps on the 1st session back (note every set, I tried to go for the 4th rep and failed). I was so excited I could finally get a 4th rep somewhere. Surprisingly on the 4th rep as that was when I decided to go through all the technique cues properly. On the next session, I managed 4,4,4,4,4 (I could of easily squeezed a 5th rep on the 1st and 2nd set). I felt really strong because I changed my lifting technique slightly. Oh, and I've been taking creatine ever since and my protein intake is fairly decent. Keep going and play about with 3x3, 3x1 even! After the 5x5 session, I would maybe try 1 rep of the original weight + 2.5kg/5kg just to see if I could do it. That probably did contribute to making me push past the 3 reps plateau.

I really don't think an exaggerated arch makes you build more muscle. It just shortens the range of motion to allow you to move more weight more easily.
