@Zadrofan Doing it this way is going to injure you .. "fucking idiot " bar should land below youre nipples not close to youre throat like shown here ..
@allecoqqq WRONG! YOu have to keep it like in this video, as the muscles stretch at their maximum. Really, whom I should listen to: youtube users, or athelets that have shown me how?(just like in this video)
@Zadrofan bar should land on lower chest is what i meant. bro look other videos of benchrpress techniques. this one is wrong !! u will injure youre shoulders :P and by doing that your not really benching with chest but shoulders
0:37 - sort of funny that tha is exactly how your elbows should go... ...of course the bar would follow and not be under that weird angle like in this video... ...very, very bad video... ...now - if they said that this is bodybuilding style and that you shouldn't do more than 50% of your rm (i wouldn't do more than about 30% personally) and just go for high reps under a very slow and controled motion - sure, go for it... ...but if you want to do <15 reps, learn to bench press properly...
@ElRancholo2 :)) stfu/The weight must be lowered until ity touches ur chest(the more ROM the more fibers will the body use).u must be one of those idiots at the gym that put a zillion plates and olny lower the bard 4 inches:)),actally the lower half of the movement is the heaviest for the chest and lots of BB don't lock out and go all the way up.And being a huge benchpresser doesnt impress anyone,lots of ppl are .Why would anyone hate u?if ur that big why dont u have a pic ?TROLLLL
@ElRancholo2 i never injured myself during bencpress,actually dbbells are more dangerous,because so many ppl use too heavy and go too down(and thats where u could screw your shoulders).Benchpress is safer than dbbelss,smith machine is ideal.
You take the bench press all the way down and you aren't a manlet with a barrel chest, you are going to destroy your rotator cuff and sternum cartilage. Lift like this guy is you want to screw up your body.
I can bench press a LOTTTTTTTTTT! I should probably make a video to educate all you computer nerd, pencil neck weaklings.
@ElRancholo2 The only reason you can bench press a LOOTTTTTTTTTTT is probably because you go down 3 inches before you push it back up. I've seen so many idiots at the gym load up a crapload of weights, and proceeds to barely go down only 3 inches at most. If you try having the bar touch your chest, you probably couldn't do 1/4 of the weight you normally do.
@ElRancholo2 You made a similar dumbfuck comment two months ago on this video.
Well He-Man do tell me if you know how to bench press aLOOOOOOT then why are you looking at video on how to bench press? That is just stupid. If you actually could bench press a great deal, then you would not be watching this video now would you? Ofcourse not. You would be in the damn gym right now.
Go express your self-denial elsewhere, pencil neck weakling.
@ausericantake I go to these videos to get a good laugh, seeing novices, such as yourself, comment on the bench press, and express hate and frustration at those of us who are naturally buffed!
Hi, can you please tell me how I can improve my technique on bench press, (and tell me what you think) here is me doing it (I'm 16): /watch?v=5mAhV12KbC4
wow... ...this technique is seriously wrong... ...i would destory my shoudlers if i was doing it like that for years and with heavy weights... ...chest up to lockate the sholders, elbows closer to body while lowering the bar and lower the bar on your nipples or bellow your nipples... the form shown on the video might be ok for bodybuilders who want to hit chest more with 15+ reps and about 50% 1rm and doing it very slowly so not to hurt the shoulders... ...i would not recommend this to beginners
if the bar dont touch the chest, it not a bench press. pussys who do too much weight get injured. this video has proper form, dumbass up top just wants to show off their weight
@ilightbite thats cause they want to look strong by doing more weight. personally i do dumb bell presses because you can bring it even lower, so that it can really stretch the chest. when you bring it low its gonna hurt the elbows if its too heavy so start with low weight and move up. dumb bells are harder than bars, so if u get good with dumb bells u can show off with the bar :P I can do 10-30 pounds heavier with the bar
Ok listen up. There're 2 types of bench press, the powerlifter press and the traditional bench press. For power you arch your back, keep your arms closer to your sides so use more triceps, plant feet firmly into the ground and push from your heels, and touch your chest. The bb bench press is what this guy shows except you dont need to go below parallel, and the bar is lowered to your nipple
This is wrong. There should be a slight arch on your back and lower the bar just below your nipples. You will snap the shit out of your shoulders this way.
Check my channel for 185 lbs guys (85 kg) doing 505 lbs (230 kg) bench press. I bet u cant find anyone in the world doing more than that at that body weight.
@NaYtEiZpRo arching the back isn't bad, it is actually considered proper form. I encourage you to check out some professional powerlifters such as ed coan or scott mendleson and view their form. These men are benching several hundred pound bench presses and arch the back and tuck the elbows to alleviate direct force on the shoulder joint, preventing injury.
@gwizz77 This is a myth, bud. I used to think the same way. Try a lighter weight and pinch your shoulder blades together. If you use your chest antagonizers (rhomboids and lats) you'll have no trouble bringing the weight to your chest. If you still can't, you're going too heavy. Going too heavy is what's going to hurt you.
@gwizz77 Three types of people out there. 1- Makes mistake and doesn't learn. 2- Makes mistake and learns. 3- Watches others make mistakes and doesn't make the same mistake. I used to bench the way you describe until I suffered a type 2 shoulder separation. Lesson learned. Just trying to save you some pain. If you really don't care what anyone thinks, then don't share your fucking opinion.
@gwizz77 I generated $30k dollars in personal training sales in June alone. I make six figures teaching people how to recover from injuries. I hold four nationally recognized certifications. When you learn some humility, let me know and I will give you some more free advice. PS- your argument is moot since you're addressing two different planes of motion (sagittal/transverse vs. frontal).
Am i wrong,or this guys is lowering the base too close to the neck .I beleave its going toomuch for the sholders if you do it the way they show it,the way i do it is slitly forword to the chest
eeesh. I don't know about the form in this video. The elbows are flared adn the bar comes down right over the top of his shoulders. Also, his forearms don't always remain perpendicular to the floor through the rep, though that isn't such a big deal. This is a good way to hurt your shoulders if you ask me.
Yes, that's the general consensus and it's where I bring the bar on my chest. Some guys drop it a bit lower, but if you're looking to build your pecs and go for more of a "bodybuilding" press vs a powerlifting strategy, I think that's a bit too low for good pec development.
@AOPrinciple What's the difference between bodybuilding and power lifting? And what's to low for a good pec development, bringing the bar to the chest? I feel so ignorant. xD
@yakuzasama01 Power lifting exercises are much more integrated. They use multiple muscle groups and multiple joints. They rely on free weights and are generally done standing, which puts much more emphasis on your core (lower back too) and glutes. Body building exercises only have the purpose of sculpting and do not contribute to power. They tend to isolate muscles and joints and can be done with machines as well as free weights.
For a press, your arms just need to reach a 90 degree angle the press up...whats shown here is pretty dangerous for you and can lead to injury of the joints
@ChaoticConform what you are describing is more of a floor press, in fact that's exactly what it is, sans floor. A bench press you do in fact touch your chest. (Insert random troll insult here)
@ChaoticConform Who told you that? Simply incorrect. This video does a poor job at demonstrating correct form. Refusing to go all the way down means you never properly learned to disengage your chest and stabilize your shoulder. If anything you should not go all the way up, which this video actually did demonstrate correctly.
@PJ4pt2L Aight man, for starters many people who come down to thier chests actually do a straight up 90 degree angle..cause thier big or have a big chest...aside from that its dangerous to touch your chest, you could break your sternum doing this...I've read and heard that a fist above your chest is as far as you need to go. As far as the pressing all the way back up, i agree your not supposed to to this...
@mrwinner5 No the bar shouldn't touch your chest...i've always heard a fist above, two fist above, and 90 degree angle. I personally go down slightly below a 90 degree angle. I encourage a 90 degree angle because its safe on your joints..now with that said others will disagree, but everyone has thier own 2 cents to throw in. I'd say slightly below the 90 degree angle is good.....But who am i to suggest this. This, hated on (many times) opinion of mine
ok, you are saying its better for your joints, but think logically.
what does affect the joints more, in which case there is more power on the joint.
if you STOP at 90 degree, there is much more weight in it, than going below.
because WHILE you move, there is less energy in it because gravitation takes some energy, but if you STOP at 90 degree, where the weight goes FULLY in your joint, the energy on the joint is much higher, because you accualy have to defeat the whole gravity
@Sluggs1211 i'm glad i can get so much feedback..lol..well anyone else who reads this, i'm done discussing this. Everyone has different ways of everything and thats all there is to it..keep on keepn on..
You can bring the bar all the way down to your chest (actually required for full ROM!), but while bringing it down you try to break it in 2. Your arms will do extra work, and your elbows will be tucked in. The elbow position shown here is DANGEROUS.
except you also really are not supposed to lower the bar all the way to your chest. I mean, you see everyone at the gym do it the way shown in the video, but also see everyone using their back to do curls. DarthNader0 is absolutely correct: over time this will shred your shoulders. You really should only lower the bar untill your elbows are bent at 90 degrees and ur elbow matches up with the center of ur chest.
I think the "correct" is incorrect too. I've never seen anybody doing like that. Even you do it, you'll press from your shoulder, not from your chest.

@jissyk1111 You're probably bringing your elbows down further than 90 degrees, and not bringing the bar down over your nipples. Don't do what is shown in this video!
this is one minute and one second of bulll sheeit. the form ur supposed to use they say is incorrect and the form they say to use is dangerous wow really gay video
This video is really educational and very helpful especially for a poor person like me who just cant afford for professional trainer (as of the moment!) ;-) tnx for uploading this....
@dustinmanera Do not position your elbows how it shows in the video. You will damage your rotator cuffs and possibly pull your chest muscle. Position your elbows closer into your body (in between this position and if you were to have your elbows touching your side)
Do not bring your elbows down 90 degrees like this video shows, you will blow out your rotator cuff. If you want to see how to do a heavy safe benchpress look for an instructional powerlifting bench video.
It´s wrong to benchpress like that!You are pressure to much on the shoulders!Move slightly obliquely downward to chest and press up into same way backward to top!That´s how to benchpress.
if your back hurts on a bench press you need to not fucking benchpress until you fix your hip mobility and core strength. Don't butcher it up just so you can do a handicapped retarded version (feet up).
I was told that you shouldnt have your arms 90 degrees away for the side of your body because it causes a lot more stress on the shoulders/ rotator cuff. I'm confused now =S
this guy who uploads these videos should get a trophy.

For a press, your arms just need to reach a 90 degree angle the press up...whats shown here is pretty dangerous for you and can lead to injury of the joints

@ChaoticConform what you are describing is more of a floor press, in fact that's exactly what it is, sans floor. A bench press you do in fact touch your chest. (Insert random troll insult here)

@ChaoticConform just trying to help, you are decreasing your range of motion and hurting yourself in the long run
semaj345 7 months ago
@ChaoticConform Who told you that? Simply incorrect. This video does a poor job at demonstrating correct form. Refusing to go all the way down means you never properly learned to disengage your chest and stabilize your shoulder. If anything you should not go all the way up, which this video actually did demonstrate correctly.

@PJ4pt2L Aight man, for starters many people who come down to thier chests actually do a straight up 90 degree angle..cause thier big or have a big chest...aside from that its dangerous to touch your chest, you could break your sternum doing this...I've read and heard that a fist above your chest is as far as you need to go. As far as the pressing all the way back up, i agree your not supposed to to this...

@ChaoticConform so you're saying the bar shouldn't touch your chest, you should just go so far down, until your elbows have 90 degree and up again?
mrwinner5 4 months ago
@mrwinner5 No the bar shouldn't touch your chest...i've always heard a fist above, two fist above, and 90 degree angle. I personally go down slightly below a 90 degree angle. I encourage a 90 degree angle because its safe on your joints..now with that said others will disagree, but everyone has thier own 2 cents to throw in. I'd say slightly below the 90 degree angle is good.....But who am i to suggest this. This, hated on (many times) opinion of mine

@ChaoticConform
ok, you are saying its better for your joints, but think logically.
what does affect the joints more, in which case there is more power on the joint.
if you STOP at 90 degree, there is much more weight in it, than going below.
because WHILE you move, there is less energy in it because gravitation takes some energy, but if you STOP at 90 degree, where the weight goes FULLY in your joint, the energy on the joint is much higher, because you accualy have to defeat the whole gravity

@ChaoticConform I have always heard to the chest. In lifting competitions they have you touch your chest or its a no lift.

This isnt the proper bench press form...the bar should go on the top of the nipples.
kamisk6d 8 months ago
You can bring the bar all the way down to your chest (actually required for full ROM!), but while bringing it down you try to break it in 2. Your arms will do extra work, and your elbows will be tucked in. The elbow position shown here is DANGEROUS.
tim3nijn 8 months ago
except you also really are not supposed to lower the bar all the way to your chest. I mean, you see everyone at the gym do it the way shown in the video, but also see everyone using their back to do curls. DarthNader0 is absolutely correct: over time this will shred your shoulders. You really should only lower the bar untill your elbows are bent at 90 degrees and ur elbow matches up with the center of ur chest.

I think the "correct" is incorrect too. I've never seen anybody doing like that. Even you do it, you'll press from your shoulder, not from your chest.

@jissyk1111 You're probably bringing your elbows down further than 90 degrees, and not bringing the bar down over your nipples. Don't do what is shown in this video!

@dustinmanera Do not position your elbows how it shows in the video. You will damage your rotator cuffs and possibly pull your chest muscle. Position your elbows closer into your body (in between this position and if you were to have your elbows touching your side)

tickettyboo1 9 months ago 52
Do not bring your elbows down 90 degrees like this video shows, you will blow out your rotator cuff. If you want to see how to do a heavy safe benchpress look for an instructional powerlifting bench video.

It´s wrong to benchpress like that!You are pressure to much on the shoulders!Move slightly obliquely downward to chest and press up into same way backward to top!That´s how to benchpress.

if your back hurts on a bench press you need to not fucking benchpress until you fix your hip mobility and core strength. Don't butcher it up just so you can do a handicapped retarded version (feet up).
