    Was benching wrong for years, as my rack blocked solid 1.5x shoulder width. I was doing close to 1.2x and my chest wasn't growing. I managed to hit 280lbs on bench before I realized. Now I'm back to beginner gains with a wider grip, but MAN it is easier!

    I like to put the tips of my pinkies on the outside rings where there’s a split in the knurling, to ensure my grip is balanced. I turn my palms so that my thumbs are pointed at my feet and then close my fingers around the bar so that the bar rests on the boney part of my palms, that keeps my wrist from bending and causing an extra moment arm. Other than that, because I am also a short guy, I like to set the bench at a 15 degree incline so that I can get my feet flat on the floor, and it also lets me arch a bit more and keep the chest at a flat bench press angle. Top notch vid as always Jeff ;)

    For bodybuilding it is more effective to minimalize the arch because that requires more power from your muscles and thus is more efficient. The more you arch, the shorter the motion becomes and thus the more you can bench. That is why powerlifters do that.

    I make absolutely NO mistakes on the bench press these days. Literally nobody will catch me messing up the bench press. I found that not training the bench press makes it impossible to mess up. Been doing weighted push ups with parallettes for a nice deep stretch in the bottom and incline dumbbell presses.

    Arching the back puts your spine in a compromised position, especially if you are using leg drive. Sure, you can lift a little more weight because you turn it into a decline bench, but your lower back will pay for it.

    Depending on your body type, you don’t necessarily need to touch the bar to your chest (unless you’re in competition). Just bring the bar down as low as your elbows get to a 90 degree angle. For some people with broader chests, this is actually touching their pecs. But for other people, any lower starts to put necessary strain on the shoulders.
