    No the worst is whenever some idiot asks me to spot him on bench, and ends up trying to show off by just throwing as many plates as he can on, and now I have to set a new deadlift record to make sure this guy doesn't fucking die.

    My friend, who weighs 150, came back to school one summer and told me he benched 310. I was very impressed, saying I knew of elite powerlifters who ended that in like the 180 weight class. Went to The gym with him, he benches with a. Quarter rep range of motion on a smith machine

    I have been working on that with my reps. It's very easy to lift the feet when lying on back because it's uncomfortable to be in that position with feet on floor but to sustain control, I know for myself I remembered the rule of thumb is as this guy said in the video back must be flat for max power distribution across the whole body and feet must be pressed against the ground for ultimate resistance and support.

    Very nice video. I agree with everything except the range of motion. A doctor dealing in sport injuries told me that the most common injury he sees are shoulder injuries brought about by the misconception that the range of motion involves touching ones chest with the bar. This process causes the shoulder to hyperextend, placing too much stress on the shoulders, causing it to tear (study his shoulder when he does it). The hyperextended the shoulder is still within its natural range of motion, but not when you have 100+ pounds of pressure in that hyperextended position. I told my old trainer this, when he asked why i didnt touch the chest anymore the way he taught me and he scoffed, but now he's been told he will have to go through shoulder surgery. Bottom line: you can take advice from athletes and weightlifters or you can take advice from certified physical therapist/sport doctors. Just thought I'd pass this along.

    I'm a little skeptical about the touching the chest part. From what I understand, it comes with an increased risk of shoulder strain & injury. If you move your elbows more than 90* during the bench, you switch the load from your chest to your shoulders. Of course, exceptions are if your chest is really big, your arms are short, so you can touch it safely anyway, or if you're competing and the requirements are to touch the chest. But I don't think there's really any noticeable benefit that's worth the risk, at least from a normal performance or aesthetic perspective. This is just my understanding at least. I liked all the other suggestions, especially the position of the shoulder part which I feel is something a lot of people don't even know about.

  • @MrTheifofDreams

    Exactly. Some people can touch their chest without any problems, others have issues. I personally touch my chest on bench, mainly bc i have a large frame, and so when I touch my chest, my arms don't pass 90 degrees, so yeah. As for the benefits, full ROM has it's benefits, but nothing worth damaging your shoulder for. Although you can usually tell if you're going to have shoulder problems from just one set of full ROM bench. If your shoulder starts hurting, stop your set IMMEDIATELY. Also, simple changes can help,too. A buddy of mine got shoulder pain when benching, until he started narrowing his grip, and his shoulder pain magically vanished. All in all, though, it's the individual lifter's preference as to whether to go full ROM or a few inches short. :P

    Many people have problems with the BP because the flare the elbows,keep the elbows tucked like a 45º angle and you will be probably fine. Also having the scapula retracted helps a lot because it leaves more space between the acromion and supraspinatus. You can do this retraction by shrugin the shoulders,rolling them back and down,keep them there for the set and you will be fine. It will be akward as FUCK at the beggining. Good luck!

    juan gui Garcia I used pain as my teacher.lol. As a general rule though, when I started to feel an extreme stretch in the attachment points of my front delt muscle, I knew to ease off in the stretch. For you, this might be different, but for me I started to not touch my chest when I started to notice that my chest didn't get more of a stretch for the extra inch of range of motion, and when I did go all the way down, my shoulders would fatigue way before my chest did. This seemed counterproductive to me at the time, because my shoulders were already over powering my chest development.

    So many contradictions about the bench press on KZread. Some say arching is fine (to a certain point of course), some say don't arch and so on. I actually find that a small back arch aids me in lifting and so far no injuries. I've also found that tucking my elbows will take stress off the shoulders. I used to press with elbows flared straight out to my sides and messed a shoulder up doing that. I say do whatever works for YOU. If you start experiencing pain, adjust your form. just my opinion.

    From what I know, in doing a bench press your chest should be out. I guess what the guy in the vid is trying to say is that you would want to your hips to stay on the bench.

    a stable arch actually prevents your hips from shooting off the bench. just make sure to keep your knee below your hip and use leg drive. for an explanation why arching is the way to go, see the video by juggernaut training systems (just search for said channel + arching). short version: tucking elbows and arching puts less stress on your shoulders compared to a flat position, so there is no reason not to arch - it's safer and you are able to move more weight.

    4:20 - Sorry brother this style of benching has been proven to be risky for the shoulder. Going past a 90 degree angle on the descend puts a lot of strain on the shoulder, and does not provide any more contraction or benefit to the chest. Anything past 90 degrees is no longer the chest, given the anatomy of the chest. @Buff Dudes

    Yeah your right, it also depends on your shape. I'm 6.5 foot with long forearms and when I do go all the way down it puts massive stress on my shoulders. 90° is correct anything more is shoulder until your back to 90° coming back up. These blokes with massive chests go all the way down but because their chest is big their arms don't actually go past 90°

    ***** 1: That sounds like a shoulder injury/imbalance. You might have issues with your rotator cuff. It's something you really want to look into ASAP. 2: Not everyone needs to go all the way down. Depending on the length of your forearms, you might need to keep the bar off your chest (i'm talking 1-2 inches here, don't start half repping). I personally feel all the strain and tension on my shoulders if I go all the way down, so I keep the bar off my chest. Hope it helps.

    ***** I had the same problem with the pain on my shoulder, as exeedorbit said, it could be a rotator cuff (I know I had injured it with another exercise). What I did was to slowly, everyday during my warm-up, do exercises for my shoulder to strengthen it, with very light weights (such as raises and rotations). Don't feel ever pressured on doing heavy weight lifting while injured (or ever); correct technique gets you far better results.

    ***** It could be an impingement, but I would go to a Doc to be sure. I've been lifting 37 years and know more than a thing or two. Also, when doing bench, do as the guy in the video states! IF you are not touching your chest, with each set and rep, your not going to make progress at all. Also, if the pain is too bad to touch your chest, you really do need to go to an orthopedic doctor.

    What about leg drive? A slight arch in your lower back is NOT bad form. If you don't try a weight you have never done how are you ever going to advance? I agree with not trying to rep out 315 if spot is doing most of the work BUT you should always be progressing and trying to get stronger. In order to do that you have to put the weight on. Even if it is something I have done before I will ask for a spot on heavy weight.

    As for the never doing 315 part, they're talking about people who have never even benched 225, yet they put 315 on to try to show off. Yes, it's a good thing to go up in weight, but there's a difference between lifting heavy, and lifting outside of your weight range.

    You're either going to look good IN the gym or OUT of the gym. How often do you see a ripped power lifter? Power lifters lift heavy, but are NEVER cut. Body builders lift lighter, slower, focusing more on isolating and contracting but look way better with their shirts off lol. Lighter weights allow you to FULLY contract a muscle. Which also gives you the MAX pump.

  • @MonsterChuck

    @MonsterChuck

    9 жыл бұрын

    Ken Rathjen It is not all about which weights you are lifting. Has to do with rep range, time intervals and diet. There are plenty of body builders that lift serious weight. And pure power lifters don't necessarily have the best diet. I know when I lift heavy I try to keep my movements controlled and good form. Try to mix it up tho. I will perform my heavy movement first then move to lighter weight higher reps for my other movements involving that muscle group. Try to have a balance. I do understand what you are saying BUT you can be strong and look good too.

    Full range is such a meat head expression. Theres so many studies out now that proves for a full chest work out you only need to go down until elbows are parallel with you back anything further cause impingement of you shoulders and does nothing but cause shoulder strain when you rep up. But most this info comes from years of phys. sciences study and not the Arnold work out encyclopedia. Next you are going to tell me i should full lock out my elbows when im doing heavy weight curls.

    Actually having a bad technique is going further than 90degrees. That shit is a shoulder killer. Powerlifters do not do it, it's part of their technique + they push their chests as far as possible to lower the ROM, they also work on the speed of the rep and the inclined trajectory. It's kinda different from what's on the vid. But again, preserve your shoulders and don't go further than 90degs, it's useless anyway it doesnt trigger the chest muscle beyond that point anymore and the stress is transfered to places it shouldnt be.
