    Met him randomly about 3 years ago at a gas station outside Wichita Falls. We were on our way back from a camping trip in Colorado. I had to return the rented travel trailer in Dallas. He noticed and was concerned about a low trailer tire I had. I had already planned to air it up and couldn’t believe who I was talking to. He shrugged off my fan boy excitement as you would expect and returned the focus to my tire. My wife and six kids were in the towing vehicle. I appreciate his no nonsense concern.

    Whoever said not to arch on the bench is crazy. Never lift your ass off the bench, but always maintain an arch. Doesn't have to be a large arch, but there are so many ways to get injured on this exercise, proper form is the most important aspect to a good bench.

    Not dying is #1, although we all do die eventually. Smart people do not die from a cracked chest benching or having their throat pinned down by the barbell, however. Whenever I see people bench in the gym, it usually looks like they're about to die. In fact, the seizures and spasms I see as they progress in their sets consisting of RPE-12 efforts are not unlike the death throes of soldiers who fell in battle. Okay, that was hyperbolic. In fact, I think I disrespected those brave soldiers. I take it back. Still, what I see in gyms deserves some sort of mention. It's like certain scenes from The Exorcist, you know, when that demon-possessed girl walked off the stairs backward on her/its hands and feet, that's what I see in gyms when people bench. Scary stuff. I'm too scared to even spot those people. The demon might jump hosts.

    I really liked and appreciated this video. I'll watch it again for its great points. One item he didn't mention though, is wrist angle. I've done this and seen others too, where the wrist isn't kept straight and thus allowed to bend back when doing heavier weights. It's a rookie mistake and a huge set up for wrist injuries. Very avoidable injuries too. So remember to keep those wrists in proper form as well.

    Robert Jansen Practical Programming discusses the concepts taught in Starting Strength, but it includes programming for intermediate and advanced lifters. Starting Strength is geared towards novices which is why it explains in detail how to do the lifts.

    Alex Sandalis Everyone has different philosophies on this. Some say yes, some say no, it really is just down to you and how comfortable you are doing it. Some say that having all points of contact is a lot safer and will result in less injury, which makes a lot of sense as your stable. However, having a slight arch allows you to lift slightly heavier due to your shoulder blades being locked.

    To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Starting Strength. The progressive overload is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of overhead press form, most of the barbells will go over a typical lifters head. There's also Rippetoes nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his number of sets - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Bill Starr's routine, for instance. The lifters understand this stuff; they have the glute development to truly appreciate the depths of these squats, to realize that they're not just below parallel- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike starting strength truly ARE DYELs- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the rep range in Rippetoes day B of squats, which itself is a cryptic reference to Zyzz's initial workout method. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Rippetoes genius unfolds itself on their lowerbody. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a lower back injury. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5kg of my own squat (preferably lower) beforehand.
