I'm surprised with some of the negative reviews. I was so impressed with the kzread.infoUgkxMwYg0MOXR4M-oGeyBsNSYe1aPOUoRH6D cage that I got the lat pulldown attachment that goes with it. It is equally outstanding. I don't have one complaint other than putting it together is a job. The instructions and packaging of the parts are very well designed and organized. Also, I stripped and damaged the pull down cable the first day, admitting it was my stupid fault, and they quickly replaced it at no charge. I'm 6'5, 280lbs and fit in the cage just fine. Glenn B

I was craving the 225 number and as SOON as I got it, I started craving 315. When I got that in September I started DREAMING about 405. Now only a month later I reflect and and listen to Jeff. Screw the numbers. If I keep working, SLEEPING and eating properly, maybe I'll get there, maybe I won't, but I will improve in some way, and do it safely.

Brilliant thank you great tips started to feel difference straight away when pressing

Literally just started applying this myself a few weeks ago. I always knew how important leg drive was, and I was always conscious of the positioning and grounding of my legs. But recently it really clicked for me, 3 months ago I tested my 1RM at 185 lbs and got one shitty rep. 3 days ago I did 185 again and got 5 clean reps, 100% because of conscious leg drive. DO NOT SLEEP ON LEG DRIVE

Thanks bro I'll be trying this on Monday

That's probably one of the most useful videos I have ever seen. Thank you so much, gentlemen

Thanks for the helpful tips

This guy was so helpful! Great content I enjoyed these tips🤙🏼🙌🏼

Don’t think I did it right, accidentally added 50. Could you make a more in-depth video?

If I add 40lbs to my bench press there won’t be another bench press💀💀

I love how the guy with just one leg explains leg drive. Pretty impressive that he can pull it off so well

This dude is a beast. Awesome video interested to try this out.

"Let's say 205 on the bench." Hah! Hahah! ha... sigh Very helpful, despite vaguely overwhelming bout of insecurity.

@@adammmtee it won't take that long to get there. once you're there you'll have more ambitious goals lol. every time I've thought some number would be enough, by the time I got there, it was easy enough to imagine a number that seemed too greedy a year earlier

Best video out of many great ones. Thanks guys. Really appreciate it. This is old school me when I had a spotter. Then I got close and it killed it. Always going to ask for one now.

BEASTMODE!! Love it - thanks

I did one better and added 50, but I still lost the giveaway.

So, in a nutshell, contort your back and hips to turn a flat bench into a decline bench so you can impress the rest of the gym with how much you can lift. You aren’t adding 40lbs to your bench press, you are changing the movement so it’s easier

Exactly this

Awesome video, thanks!!

Best video on this subject yet! Thanks! Learned a ton! It's almost like doing an incline press on the flat bench.

Question about that angled bar path: What if we're doing sets of 6, 8, 10 reps? Does he expect to press at an angle and re-rack on every rep, or have someone there to catch it for you?

Great question, was wondering the same

You don’t finish each rep on the rack but finish it above your shoulder line (in-line with shoulders). Then decend in a angled line to your sternum area and push back to inline with your shoulders again and repeat until u need to rack.

I have no problem finding the path to the bar. I feel big but I usually pass out on my way home.

Great video here with some extremely useful tips!

Excellent info!!!

Love the tips but I think the video angle could have been better. I wanted to see the grip and the path of his elbows ( are they flared out, close?) I could only see the bar path (which I think was the main point) Overall thank you for the tips!

Elbow and hand placement in the bench isn't discussed enough in any bench press videos. Elbow flaring almost got me pec tear, took me a while to find out that my grip was too wide, personal trainers were useless in pointing this out

How about when repping on the bench press? The bar path that goes toward the rack is hard to utilize when you then have to recent the weight to start the next rep. It’s pretty challenging to have your arms near lockout and angled more toward your head and still be able to control that weight for the next rep. It’s different if it’s 1 rep tho you just throw it to the rack

I love this guy. Let's see more KC Mitchell!!

I really appreciate this video Athlean-X! Because as of today, I did my first bench press, just like you have shown in this video. My trainer was there to spot me (thank God). However, I am one of those guys who is a newbie when it comes to the bench press exercise. There have been times in the past, I am not so sure how to lift the bar off the rack properly, let alone drive bar in the correct bar path with correct form. Also, when it comes to having a spotter, I am one of those shy guys that don't like asking for help. All last year when I was bench pressing, I did it alone without a spotter, and suffered a lot of injuries. Therefore, you had my undivided. I will continue to watch this to receive more training! Thank you once again!

God i feel foolish 😪. Didn’t know about leg drive importance let alone the path for the bar... thanks again Jeff. Small helpful tips def go a long way
