    I’m glad you said about too much stress on the shoulders beyond a 90 degree mark is very individual as it’s soo easy to be too prescriptive on this type of exercise particularly when others in the gym are trying to turn every exercise into some kind of competition.

    A helpful tip to help control the lift and gain more strength to complete the heavier lifts, not only retract your shoulders but also contract your lats. The lats work as a secondary muscle to assist the chest.

    Going from rack to bench I just carry them over, position my butt over the bench and just position the dumbbells on my thighs toward the knees as I’m squatting down. If I’m doing multiple sets of the same weight, After the set is complete position them in front of the bench and after your rest period basically I get a wide stance & basically sumo deadlift them to standing position then, same as above. Sorta swing them over to my thighs as I squat onto the bench. Hope that helps. If you can’t do this easily then you have too much weight and need to drop down so you don’t hurt yourself.

    Finally someone has all the missing answers what I have had for doing this exercise! This is truely excellent explanation with clear English which is really a major problem here with many other publishers (or with my brains). Many of them are speaking too fast or/and indistinctly. Or the background noice is too loud so this KZread's voice recognition can NOT write subtitles or writes them wrong which leads to the problem that non-native english speakers like myself can NOT understand the whole explanation of the particular exercise. You and Scott Herman are definently best here! As from those videos what I've seen here so far. Not egoistic stupid macho bullshit. I don't know do you want to speak out about Herman's opinion of starting position in this exercise? I meant this kzread.info/dash/bejne/i5Nrw6qqiMiplrQ.html is also great video and he is giving as very similar instructions as you. From my point of view arching the back with sliding like how he is doing in that video looks very dangerous for the spine. Especially if you are benching with heavy weights let's say for example six repetitions. I've seen from other his videos that he seems to be very flexible athlete. That's really indeed true it's much more easier to start the set with dumbbells above your chest with arms straightened than from the bottom in the pressing position without strong air pressure in the thorax. It also easier to arch the back in that arms straightened starting position. Anyway both styles work. I think in your style you'll "lose" the first repetation of the set. Of course these are just opinions. Like assholes. Everybody has one. And I'm smaller than you so I should shut the fuck up. Excellent videos 5/5 !!!
