Thanks for the tips. I started benching heavy and my traps are killing me. I needed this advice.

good stuff! well said. so many ppl only remember the retraction part and then they get all messed up

[@TheDavidtrez]

Amazing video!! You just sorted my bench press!! I always used to over retract and as a result would always end up with a crooked bar alignment and stiff neck!! Thank you for a great demonstration 💪

This is such a great video for me to get more depressed

Especially since the gyms are closed.

[@fsfs2778]

will excessive retraction in the start, lead to anterior shoulder glide and shrugging of upper traps during the eccentric phase of bench?

[@gladiator-zs5fe]

When in the bench in the first just think to chest up and using leg drive to make it tight? And when using leg drive the upper doesnt move?

[@GoodByeSkyHarborLive]

if we keep forceful retraction during the concentric, does that engage less or more of the rotator cuff on the concentric? And shouldn't the bench be in a j path arc?
