False grip is for people with nothing to lose.

Alright! A vid just for me!

Oh... :(
Same with me man 😭😭😭
Exactly lol
ME AF
Me 😢
Story of my life 😂
but my bench doesn’t suck. i like my little bench press, its cute.
Great tip, good video too.
Basement Brandon part of the notification squad.
I'm really enjoying these new "fix it" videos. Keep 'em coming. Thanks, Bryce!
This and the Connor's video changed my bench actually! being a narrow bencher I always had the problem of the wrists bending when above a certain percentage weight. This was really helpful, thank you!
This improved my bench massively. Thank you for the video
I was having tge exact problem yesterday! Thank you so much!
exactly what i was experiencing last session and was recalling needing to perhaps switch to Japanese grip confirming my thoughts, videos like these are goldmines
Bro legit i had so much problem with this, but i didn't know you could fix it like this. Thank god i saw this, dude ur amazing!!
I needed this!
Sometimes it's small things like this that can go a long way. Thanks Bryce!
Literally the exact grip I get all my clients to perform. Great video
Perfect timing for this vid. I was struggling with my grip
EXCELLENT VIDEO! Thank you so much for sharing, my bench feels much better and more stable. Subscribed.
So glad to hear! Welcome to the channel!!
perfect timing for me on this video
Definitely will try it
Thanks bro I need this
Love the content
I swear this is the reason my bench is lacking, I've never considered changing my deadlift type-grip. Cant wait to try this.
Nice vids. For me about the wrist position with too much wrist flexion not only hurts my wrist its also hurts my shoulder in the bottom of the press. Need to fix my wrist position to more neutral position
this helped a lot, thank you. I still don’t know why I can only do 135 for 12 reps when I’ve been working out all of my life. I looked up “why does my bench suck” and there are posts with guy complaining they only lift 210???? wtf
i tried to keep my wrists way too straight for the longest time and it really messed my biceps up when benching, thankfully i realised this some time ago and fixed it.
why does it mess biceps up?
@@nitroyetevn im guessing it puts a lot of pressure on the bicep because the bar is almost infront of the elbow, it did for me anyway
Thank you
I need the next video sooo baaad my bench is my worst lift 😭😭😭
Apropos 'huge amount of distance: it's actually a 'moment arm', which is creating a force which needs to be compensated.....Therefore wrist wraps are very recommended in order to keep the wrists 'straight' My five cents to this topic😀
Plz make a video on elbow flare with camera angle from the front of the body.
Thanks for the tips dude, these are gold mines. Just subscribed
Awesome tip! I'm struggling with the bench because my packs are not evenly strong it feels (and looks like it too) it's holding me back from adding weight to the bar. What would you do? Thanks.
Thank the god of lifting for this vid, I was using thumbless because of this. The shit you get from people saying its dangerous is annoying. I Will try your option tonight 👍💪🏻
No bullshit or 5 minute intro- great video my man
That’s something we’ve been working on. TH-cam has a bad habit of talking about what they’re gonna talk about for 4 minutes before talking about it.
stuck with the same weight for same rep range for months eating on a surplus. Watched this video, added two reps on each set...
Would you recommend this grip type for the overhead press as well?
I use something very similar for OHP yeah
This is what I have a problem with. Applying the right grip and pressure to the bar.
sick how you only have 49k subs!! Keep up the good content and you will grow faster than a noobie on tren
Hahahah we’ll do our best!
bench day tomorrow... def gonna try this! I used to use a neutral grip like you said and I tend to press heavier weight away from me instead of up with the right bar path
I'll try
In 2 day I will have agina chest can't wait to use that tip. 😁
Yesterday i had one of the worst days at the gym. It was chest/shoulder/tri day and i started iff with bench like i always do. My shoulder was popping like crazy and i just couldn't push the bar up and back instead i was pushing it forward. I'll try to put the bar lower in my hand.
I'm no expert, but 100% of my shoulder problems on bench came from not locking shoulders properly throughout the lift, lowering the bar in an uncontrolled manner, and bad programming (ie. yoloing weights that are too heavy and going to failure too often with inadequate recovery, or doing this on other lifts like OHP and then having subsequent problems in the bench).
As soon as I fixed all of these things my chronic shoulder problems on bench disappeared and have stayed gone for years. I hope there's a simple fix for you too.
@@nitroyetevn thanks man, this realky helped:)
@@mojo6112 haha sorry if obvious or if you're an elite lifter and know all that stuff /shrugs never know who is commenting on youtube :)
@@nitroyetevn i am an elite lifter, so don't think about messing with me.. don't have time fot you need to finish my 5 rep max 185bench😕
I figured this the first time my wrists bent. It just didn’t seem safe though loln
Don’t I want to squeeze the bar as tight as possible to recruit my forearms?
I have the same question
Generally, yes it can help to be tighter and more efficient if you squeeze the bar.
Does tha same apply to OHP
I bulldog my OHP, 20kg to 40 in 5 months
Does this apply to incline bench too?
Gregory cocco Good question. People tend to be less particular with technique on the incline since it’s not a contested lift but I see no reason why it shouldn’t. I even use this grip for overhead press.
I would say yes
Good lord man!from the comment section it reads like you've discovered life on Uranus.every one that's bench pressed for a few weeks should know this.and most "introduction to the bench" tutorials cover this as it's not secret advanced knowledge.
You’re not wrong! I never claimed the things I was suggesting were revolutionary, but judging by the response, the tips were helpful for people.
i have had a over double my bodyweight naturally since i was 17 - 140 kg at 63 kg, and 150 kg @ 70 kg bodyweight, i orginally thought it was my tricep dip, i used to do 80 kg tricep dips , but i stopped them when i got older and still had a comparable bench
TL:DR get good.
One little trick for 60% more gainzz! lol picking up on the marketing. I see you
It’s insane how much of a difference titles and thumbnails make. Gotta play the game to some extent...
fuk it bro. you have solid content, so getting more outreach to the newbies you gotta play the game. subscribers blow up over summer and winter breaks when peeps can binge watch channels and try new programs
I squat 200 more than I bench 😟
I disagree. Having the bar higher in your palm and bending back your wrist will effectively shave off a couple inches off your ROM.
But you lose so much power I do t believe it is worth it. And the rom difference is very small
ya ya not for me. I bench 350 and using japanese grip is the only way i feel powerful, in fact, whenever my wrist start straightening out towards the neutral position, i lose power.
Also, especially for people with a big arch and wide grip and small rom to begin with, every inch counts. Bending my wrists back help tremendously with rom.
@@PiiNoY99 I feel Japanese grip is different to the conventional bent back wrist in this video. You have made a conscious effort and experimented with it rather than an accidental form breakdown of neutral wrists bending back bleeding power. But if that works for you who am I to disagree
I don’t think you’re wrong. Look at how Yury Belkin benches. Bar is way in fingertips and his wrist is cocked way back. These tip videos are always generalizations and ‘things to try’. Your experience may vary from what I see in a majority of lifters and I definitely believe you when you say you have success doing the opposite.
Second to comment. Fk yeah
Why should I listen to you dude you’re not even swole man
Lol
U dumb
Can't tell if trolling or not lmao
On the same video I’ve been called ‘not swole’ and ‘not natty’ WHICH IS IT TH-cam?!
