Thanks Scott. I'm gonna bench 700 tomorrow with these tips
Count me in
Dont forget to bulk to 700
Joseph Fahey 🤣
is it 700 if he used a bench shirt?
@@JustinP he didn't use a shirt
I tried this at my gym but I could not even lift the bar off the rack, should I start with less than 700lbs?
try with 650 lb
Try with 695
Yes, try 699lb 🙌🏽
699 and a half
Ask a spotter for a liftoff and you should be good.
People don’t seem to understand the knowledge this man has. They’re extremely lucky learning from one of the best in the world. Nice video 💪🏾
Yes to learn from the best is priceless
IDK man... i heard a lot of the same shit 🤷🏻♂️ Still, World record is beast mode.
For free also
People don't want it bad enough, you try adn do anything and everything to get better. They just want to stay comfortable and complain that everyone else is on steroids.
When I practice this ,standing up I can grasp it but when I go bench just with the bar doesn’t feel the same ..pisses me off
Instructions unclear, got pinned under 350
That's because you loaded up the wrong weight you need at least 700 on the bar
@@joemfahey
Good point ill try that next time
Weigh a ton
hahahahahahahahaha
😂
It seems like you’re basically turning your upper body musculature into a bench shirt.
Matthew Singer that’s literally what he said...
Drae DelToro to be honest I wrote the comment while I was cooking and half paying attention, and before finishing the video.
@@matthewsinger4902 you dont have to explain anything to anyone bro
Mighty Networking you’re a good shit. 👍
@@draedeltoro6542 GET OUT
Now I can bench 700+ thank you, Scott
You don't have to agree with everything he says. I don't, but I forsure picked up some knowledge. Knowing different approaches and techniques is never a bad thing even if you don't plan on implementing it yourself or if it doesnt work for you. Glad you finally got Scott on the channel mark. Good video 👍
What exactly don't you agree with? Not being aggressive but your comment clearly states you don't agree with at least some of what he says.
@@jackhughman9450 honestly rather not even mention what I don't agree with because I'll get torn apart by the "well do you bench 700lb comments" I think everone has a style unique to them for benching to some degree and Scott makes it seem like everyone should/can bench like him in that specific manner and that's not in my opinion true. Kirill Sarychev doesnt bench specifically like this has a 738 Bench, best all time, neither does Eric spoto at 722lb Bench, Scott did put out some great info but just like all knowledge it should be taken into consideration but not considered a fact.
@@atp_powerlifting560 Yup. Same with Sapozjonkov. Totally different technique:
th-cam.com/video/UgP3ixLWOIw/w-d-xo.htmlm57s
But the thing I see everyone do is get setup on their traps by bringing their head from behind the bar forward similar to how Mendelson explained it. Every big bencher does this.
@@atp_powerlifting560 aaahhh come on!! give people an honest educated opinion as to why you disagree with some of what one man says so people attack you 😉
I watched all the videos where he explained his technique (there are some with Furious Pete), and before this one I was more skeptical about the fact that everybody could do it. He is a 300+ guy with a giant back, not everybody can let their triceps rest on the lats at the bottom, simply because the avarage guy or girl doesn't have the muscles to do it. But this is really golden knowledge, he is a total monster and for sure everyone of us can learn a lot from his words, moreover seeing the girl benching like him showed me that actually is possible to do it even if you don't have the lats and triceps big as an apartment.
This is actually a great video containing some information ive never come across in all these cookie cutter "how to bench press" videos.
I totally agree. When I heard what he said at 13:29, everything now makes sense. Instead of pushing the bar up, you are pushing your body into the bench.
well because most people bench to build muslce, also (not trying to be rude) but with a tummy like his + a wide grip, he barley have to move the bar to get a rep.
I know right? And the ammount of ignorance in the comments is astonishing lol
Felt like the ST videos of old, Knowledgeable people, actually going over Powerlifting technique with no BS. First ST I’ve watched in a while, purely because of how much the content has changed.
I'm out of breath just listening to him talk. Good info none the less.
Goes to show how tiring proper form really is
When he teache people this form, they are gassed just from setting it. My legs were more tired from him teaching me this than they were from squatting the week before. It is taxing as hell, but it works
@@mayanalien Your squat training must be shit
StealthAssasin 1Day Okay. I mean, I guess he’s a handsome dude, but keep your composure, man!
@@mayanalien Because they're out of shape lmao blood thicker than syrup
Amazing video. Respect for Scott for his amazing lifts. True legend
Thanks for this! Best explanation of leg drive I've watched.
One of the best natural bodybuilder
Best advice I’ve ever got to bench heavy! Thanks man! MUCH RESPECT
Instructions unclear: benched 1000 pounds @145
When the jack for my dump truck broke, I tried this tip with my loaded dump truck and it worked. I lifted my full dump truck and had my sister change the flat tire.
We need more Mendy!! This guys hilarious and great info 👍🏼 this is the kind of coach Id love to have
I always learn a ton from your videos. Thanks so much for all you do in the community:)
Still #1 in my book. Only man to hold shirted and raw WR at the same time.
That's pretty damn impressive.
well if you can bench the most raw, wouldnt you also be able to bench the most shirted?
xxFaze_Brock_Beast_ Lesnar_ depends on the lifter. Many are strong raw but can’t use gear, and obviously the opposite can be true. Most choose to specialize in one or the other. Scot mastered raw and geared in a way no other lifter has.
his raw bench was touch and go bro...impressive but at a backyard bullshit meet
@@alexisvnc I'll respect a full ROM touch and go rep a lot more than all the bullshit 3 inch lockouts you'd probably consider legit.
can’t wait to watch this one!!!!
Thanks Scot! And thanks to Mark that listened to my prayers maybe ahah, I commented on the podcast video asking this "how to" with Scot, can't wait my next bench day!!
Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to try this.
Thanks Mendy. This is the best bench press video on benching I have seen on YT.
This is one of the best videos you have ever released
By far the best bench video I've seen. Ever.
Awesome! Thanks! Cant wait to try it at the gym
good shit my friend! some of the best bench tips!
True professional, no messing around it's either right or wrong,no sweet talk
This video is so much different from all the other bench press videos i`ve seen so far. Gonna try this next time I go to the gym.
awesome free info! thanks Scott!
Legend has it, Josh is still driving up his arms to this very day.
Lmaoo
Nice Jordan's Scott! Great tips. I'm pushing for 500, I'm at 455 now and I think I'll take the time to refine my technique.
17:21, he says "everybody shot up" then listen to the music in the background, it says "turn down for what!" CALCULATED XD
What an amazing video, thanks for this.
excellent instruction, thanks for posting.
This is really a great explanation on how to bench. Great tips!
Scot Nailed this one! Legend in the sport 🙌🏼
Best video on benching. Thanks for posting
Solid video Scott excited to try this out!
Thanks Scott, I just benched 1050lbs on my warm up set.
Wow. I learned so much. Thanks for the video
gold information. Thanks scott
best video i years mark ! thanks sir !
Best bench video instructions wise ive ever seen I do 530 raw and apparently my form is wrong ..going to try to learn this ...Mendelson is a legend were all wise to listen
Awsomeness!!!! Huge thanks to Mark and Scott!!!!!!!!!!!
I have watched videos before on bench technique but this is the best I got a lot out of this one
Im trying this in the gym tomo ive been benching wrong this drive and technique his accomplishments speak for themselves thanks a million 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😃
Thank you for the tips!
Awesome video Mark.
This video explained how to set up for the bench the best ive ever seen.
Great video very informative... Thanks
Boom!! Excelent video!!!!! Thank you!!!
i needed that video
Mad respect for what Scott has done. Say whatever you like about him but you cant deny he put up the numbers. The man is crazy strong.
Very technical, great video!!!!!!
Great video, next chest day I'm gonna let the whole gym feel this body drive!
I benched 315 for 2 last week. I was stoked
Good job!
@mr frank Flat bench, I'm 40 so that's good for me.
Well done man. I may go for something similar soon. I did 305 for 4 last week, but anything north of 285 freaks me out for some reason.
Themadoutbacker why? All you’re doing is lifting weights
@@billgluckman9348
1.) Putting on strength after late twenties is more difficult.
2.) Being in his forties he is much more injury prone than one of us whippersnappers, to have gotten to three plates for reps is impressive for him.
3.) How many people in his age bracket have such interesting hobbies? Beyond sportsball and alchoholism I mean.
Best bench vid ever.
Best bench press video on TH-cam so far.
Great info!
I’m 16 years old, 130lb. I can finally bench 700lb now thanks a lot!!
Great info Scott.
i have torn biceps and tendon in 3 years...and my body forced naturally to do use this technique without i know what i do.....so this is very good explanation to understand how a world class improved by technique......
thank you for actually explaining leg drive
Love listening to Big Scot and also Ryan Kennelly talk about benching
High level. So legit. Thanks.
Great advice!
Thank you, I needed this. "Pull Your Shit Together"
Every time I bench I’ll always hear that WWOooooommmm.
As soon as my injurys healed I'll have to try this
Amazing!
Man I hope you have more tips like these
hes an excellent teacher
Best video in the past few months: PHENOMENAL CONTENT.
Incredible. Also check out the dude going ham on belt squats
Scott is a great teacher
This is awesome! 315 here I come!
It's insane seeing these weights being moved. But it's pure genetics/luck/work benching that amount, that's why only 4 people have managed to lift 700+. Props to Henderson, Scott, Spoto and Kyrill.
TheFutureIsNow 24.7 Mészáros László also.
@P C bro most 99.9% of people will never bench 500 let alone 700 its mostly genetics therefore luck
Kenelly
@P C so more applied technique will get you like these guys. Not even 6'8 WSM can do over 600. Spoto trained with Stan Efferding and he coudlnt do over 600.
This man is awesome
This is the most unique guide for the bench I've ever seen.
jrm_ayun it’s a guide for if your obese with a severe peak tear and want to do assisted bench over 1000lbs
While watching this I naturally felt my back keep tightening up
Amazing tips! Thank you so much!!! Maybe a longer size T-shirt next time? Or not, up to you👍
Bro.... you inspire me to become the strongest benchpresser in the world
The man is a human TANK!
Thanks for this tip I'm on the road to benching 180KG. I will come back and edit this comment once I've hit that number!
U hit it yet?
😂😂
You must not be from America because we'd be saying 405 lbs instead
Bamboo Training Nah I’m 7 and 75 pounds and I hit 805 last week. You can do it
You hit 180kg yet?
Scott is a legend
Step 1: Be Strong
Step 2: Push like Mother Theresa given birth
Step 3: Profit???
Lmao
Caleb Connelly lol shit
DR. PalSon P.H.D sounds about right?
@@calebconnelly7115 And somehow a virgin giving birth doesnt make sense in christianity?
@@calebconnelly7115 Wtf are you even talking about?
Awsome...thankyou.
NOTHING LESS THAN 600 WOULD TOUCH HIS CHEST LMAO
I don’t date any ladies under 600either, Tomato potato... or something like that
is it 700 if he used a bench shirt?
@@JustinP He benched 700+ raw you ding dong
this comment is ridiculously out of context.. and I'm sure 99% of its likes are also 😑😑😑😑
@@JustinP well he had a t-shirt on for that 700lb so ya know ;^}
mind of champion in this one
25 years in the gym and only a 535 bench at 220 , I knew I was doing something wrong after this video ..
I’m gonna watch this every day until I’m comfortable with the new form
whoever does not get how good this is ... no words
Thanks Scott, now I can bench horizontally too!
“BOOM!” -Scot Mendelson
Your problems are too good. "Can't get full range of motion with less than 600lbs"
Wow never thought about bench like that.
Scott is a Pioneer...a Legends legend....
Fuckin A Scott... this is gold. I've benched like this for 20 years but just learned about 6 things I'm going to incorporate.
Thanks brotha
Technical piece is gold....but it takes some great mobility to get this right. Only way I can hit this position is if my butt is WAY off the bench. But dang it makes a huge difference 💪
