Thanks for coaching me through this. It was fun exploring the nuance of bench for hypertrophy!

Nice colab. Good to see the 'anti-ego' lifting. That way all the focus is onto the movement technique. Should do more of that...

[@shanegray1846]

this Collab is awesome , doubling down on the basics in detail is great!

[@mrdwightmartin]

This is a different type of video for FitnessFAQs. I like it. I'd love to see more like this.

[@moosehead4497]

love how daniel a guy who never done a bench press can have bigger chest then body builders who focus on nothing but benchpress

[@Silvio_Spina]

Great collaboration! Nice classic chest workout, but I must say that personally I found the Larsen press (with a slight incline and reverse grip) and the Gironda neck press (with very wide grip and hands turned inwards) more effective, especially for building the upper/inner pecs.

[@sairam71]

That’s insane that Daniel has a chest like that no bench. Wow!!!!

[@vegardbell]

Ring pushups (deeper stretch) with weight belt makes a strong and big chest.

[@seattlegrrlie]

Yes, lifting at the gym can be mindful meditation. It actually calms me down and focuses me.

[@ShotgunGuenni]

You both together make for such a great vibe guys 💪🏻 Educating, fun, effective , definitely keep those coming 👊🏻

[@Doris-i4x]

You guys have an honest rep-ore & banter going on! Refreshing, fun & informative video! Nice format! Great to see Daniel always up for a challenge! 😊

[@alessandroastegiano]

That's the kind of video I like. Two guys talking in gym, support each other

[@kevinburke9940]

Both of you together, awesome! And such an awesome facility to work out in. It’s not merely a gym more like a studio.

[@bastipear2864]

Awesome vid coach!

[@comingverysoon]

That was great! The conversation and demonstration were so powerful together. Starting tomorrow, I'm going to switch from flat DB BP to incline, drop the weight, focus even more on the eccentric and add a pause at the bottom. When you can use less weight to get equal or better results, it's a no-brainer.

[@EnkiduSA17]

Now I wanna know your 1-3 rep max bench 🫠

[@mr.potatohead6138]

Nice video. I have not bench press in over 10 years, this video kinda confirms that I don't need to, that's cool.

I love this different than usual type of video, great to watch, would love to see a back workout like that

[@mynameisneb]

Nothing like dips at the end of a chest & tricep workout

[@Sehnsuchtversteckt123]

Yeah if i could 😂 i can barely do dips at the start of a workout yet alone at the The end

[@mynameisneb]

@@Sehnsuchtversteckt123 That's where I was in January. I'm now getting about 3 sets of 4 unassisted after a workout. Keep at it!

[@megamastah]

@@Sehnsuchtversteckt123 I used to be in a similar place - strong in other areas, but not dips. There is no replacement for dips - you just have to put in the volume, both parallel and straight bar.

[@devandromahendra3448]

More tutorial with this kind of presentation please...more easy to watch that the old format Daniel...

[@shivanshkhajuria1056]

Tbh I was really looking forward to seeing his max 😅

[@KurokamiNajimi]

In my experience wider grip activates lower and outlier chest most, by wide I mean about 2 inches more than medium. Close (shoulder width) shifts it more to upper/inner I like to mix in all 3. All I do is larsen with 3 second pauses (this combo is the only way I can really feel the chest on every rep) 3 second eccentric and I don’t explode on the concentric. Reps before the last 3 are always 2-3 seconds going up. All of this combined is WAY harder 20-25% compared to conventional fast tempo touch and go depending on how much leg drive you use. Not sure how much strength is lost (if any) I can instantly move whatever my 1 rep max is on this hard variation for 7+ if I make it easier. At some point maybe just lacking the grip strength to unrack the bar would hold you back but you could do static holds for that

[@gabriel08607]

Weighted dips for lower chest, incline bench for middle & upper.

[@Jamezee312]

That’s what I do

[@fitnytech]

Pain is weakness leaving the body.

[@HSLSFirst]

Great video!

[@jeetkunedoseries521]

When doing bench press... The movement doing down for standard bench should touch about middle of chest.. when going up the bar should slowly move just slightly back as you go up😊

[@wakjob961]

Time to invest in one of those chambered bars for a deeper stretch.

[@mattc4266]

Amazing video

[@bobnewkirk7003]

This was such a good showcase for me. I've long thought that I was atypically weak as I've been progressing on bench. For context I'm up to 160lbs for 10 on the Larsen press at 195cm and 104kg. Seeing Daniel get a challenging set in at around the same weight is so refreshing after thinking that I was just garbage until I could do 225 for reps. I'll keep working on it, 225 is still my goal, but knowing that I'm in a normal ballpark is a lot of motivation to stay on track.

[@Elucidator-]

> atypically weak > 104 kg Mate, you what? You are already in the elite.

[@anasbendahou7722]

Bench press Squat deadlift with right technique. Is everything you need from gym ! Just added them to your calisthenics routine

[@nigelmaccuver9122]

How did maxing your bench compare to weighted push-ups? Muscle activation wise

[@FSK1138]

i just bench pressed 245lbs for the first time in my life last week .. this is humbling .. ii am going back down to lighter weights

[@adamkreuz9068]

It's funny, there are a group of guys in my gym even older than I am who ego lift. I swear, every day is bench day for them. They half rep, go to fast, basically everything that leads to injury. I'm 42 and have injured myself too many times to do that stuff.

[@marianoitaliano805]

I stopped doing any bench and started doing only weighted dips and flys and my chest exploded.

[@badsector82]

Where you touch the chest with the bar depends on the length of your hands. They must be vertical in the bottom position. Arching is to make the bar path straight so you don't load your shoulders that much. You don't have to push with the butt, but arching is good to have. Too slow eccentrics with a big pause are good for your middle weight range. For the drop set with light weights and lots of reps, you don't care that much, but just get the pump. On incline you make full ROM in the first reps. Last reps you don't stretch to maximum in the lowest part. And you can gradually decrease ROM to get more reps and reach failure. Also, the angle doesn't need to be that much if you want to target the chest.

[@kinpatsu6366]

Teo prefers a flat back bench. I think that most BP coaches would teach you to engage in thoracic mobilization before you start pressing. Teo should have explained the difference better. PS, what's up with those proprioception killing slides that he's wearing??

[@jamsolid]

Proprioception is adaptable. Think then princess and the pea. He may just be accustomed to that footwear, so experience a stronger sense of connection in those shoes that someone who is not accustomed. While more minimal footwear may provide stronger connection, there is a point of diminishing return.

[@ivancouto1028]

now do that inclined. Thats what my work out is for chest, literally just lightweight benchpress with chest dips and chest fly on machine

[@keithguay7523]

You will be surprised how big your chest will get while doing push-ups and dips

[@γεωργιοςατσικμπασης]

When you pause at the bottom do you passively rest there for a sec and let the bar rest at your chest or you keep full tension and no rest at all???

[@thomasrobertfitness]

What’s the name of that kind of bench that allows your feet to be on the ground!?😮

[@lincolnprestes7617]

I dont get if it is better a more wide or narrow arms

[@andremp03]

From my experience, it's whatever grip makes you feel your chest. (but can still control the barbell, safely)

[@totallyraw1313]

What's your approximate body fat percentage, Danny?

[@SebasL10]

Wow

[@thomasrobertfitness]

It’s pretty strange to see that the working sets were 70kg. I would consider that Daniel must be must stronger due to weighted calisthenics

[@rachitdang7453]

Have you ever heard of relative strength? He is stronger than 90% of the people in exercises which have been core to his channel i.e. calisthenics.

He's pretty big considering he's natural and he's also quite tall. Most people would only dream of a physique like that, especially since he's not strictly a bodybuilder. Social media has rotted your brain and expectations of a physique. He never even said he's massive.
