    I was at a wall in my bench press at 60kg for the longest time until I first watched this. The next day I went to the gym and actually tried what he was saying and I instantly added another 20kg to my bench with leg drive. this was 1.5-2 years ago I'm now at a 1RM of 130kg and I owe a lot of this to dave tates bench instructionals.

      P2K eSports not neceserally leg drive is a factor in the bench it accelerats the bar from the bottom but unless you have strong delt and triceps your not gonna lock out also the bar path and diet aswell as the correct program and progression

    How often is too often to train bench press? Is it ever ok to train for more than 5 reps with a movement like this?
    Thanks again.

    9:04 It was actually NBA player Manute Bol who came up with the expression "my bad". He didn't have very good english, so when he made a mistake that was his way of apologizing. His teammates found it endearing and started saying it too, and it just spread from there.

  • @AAAngus1
    @AAAngus1 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    @AngloSaxonMMA Even though this video is completely about how to bench to your maximum limit he also states that by keeping the back flat and lowering in a straight line to the chest places a high stress on the shoulders. I doubt any strength coaches would disagree with that. The way around it is to use dumbells or to use a slight angle of incline or decline.

And i got a pump in my chest that ive NEVER EVER felt before! Ive been benching wrong for 8 months! I throwed away 8 months of training!!! FUCK! I always felt like my shoulders and triceps worked harder then my chest doing benchpress but not anymore:D. Keep up the good work! DAVE TATE ROCKS! PLS ADOPT ME!

  • @ironmonnkey15
    @ironmonnkey15 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @cozoner You reduce the range of motion. Most people have to much range of motion when benching and that can cause you to do damage to your elbows, etc. if you do not have perfect form. When you arch your back it allows you to press with a lot more power as well.

However, the ipf also says that the heels have to be on the ground, and not all federations have that rule

  • @viralencore85
    @viralencore85 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Is there an advantage to not wrapping your thumbs around the bar? I've heard that's the kind of grip you use when doing an overhead press and it's said that it somehow helps. Just wondering if that's true for the bench press.

  • @fpetes
    @fpetes 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    The only way you can do this is by having your elbows flared out further which puts much more pressure on your front delts. The slightly curved path promotes the triceps, chest then the delts.

    @deathproof1083 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Some federations don't allow it. I switched to the thumb wrap grip and found it actually feels better. I don't wanna say suicide grip is unsafe but there's a little more room for "oops" when you're thumbs not holding it. Bars can slip, skulls can't support that weight.

  • @FyllePaal
    @FyllePaal 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    This guy explains very well. What he forgot tho, is that some people bench with their arms all flared out. Like from the shoulders, I can see their arms flaring out 90 degrees, when they should be 45-60 degrees.

    I am a teenager just started taking the body work out more seriously.
    I honestly suck at bench press so much. Like I can do 80lb? However, I do find it easier with a dumbbell, I don't know why. I can do far more reps with dumbbell 45 lb each side.
    WIth a barbell, I always seem to lose the balance, and wiggle, and my arm doesn't even seem to struggle like it doesn't shake, when I am doing db it does.
