[XxxJgeexxX]

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA

[Kbcrazy8s]

reason its easier is cuz your not touching your chest

[terrell18]

Bro, burn that shirt

[Stretch410]

Now, when you're using the foam roller, you're benching a weight that is above your 1 rep max correct?

[matperry65]

if i walked in my gym wearin a john cena t shirt i would probably get laughed out the gym or get the shit kicked outta me

[marquish17]

also for shoulder pain you should squeeze your shoulder blades and poke out your chest it will give you a small arc in your back giving you more power and less pain after 8,6,4 i lift to failure from 225 also incline decline bicep workouts on those days

[marquish17]

hey guys ive been training 4 days a week and everyday i have the bench press workout for 3 sets 8,6,4 reps the trick to this is to rep at 50% of your max for 8 reps then 65% for 6 reps then the HEAVY Struggling reps 80% max for 4 reps i go up anywhere from 10-20 pounds a week not lying just try it for a month you will be benching 315 in no time no matter your size i went from 225 to 365 in 1 month 2 weeks

[4dojo]

how much should u lift before it's too much?

[ninjakawasaki1972]

@jjordan0125 damn son how long you been training

[ninjakawasaki1972]

@jjordan0125 you play football or some shit?

[Murphdog0019]

heres some other tips guys

1. look up how to bench in a powerlifting form (not bodybuilding)

2. train your chest shoulders and triceps with heavy weights low reps

3.do heavy compound excercises ( shoulder press close grip bench and bench)

4.do as heavy as u can go for 5x5

5. get a spotter for forced repititions

6. try plyometric pushups there are tons of variations and they help fast

7. bench press lockouts

8. focus on strength and not things like flys

9. weighted chair dips

[stoner4010]

What is this I don't even

look at this guy. He's can't bench 25 lbs let alone help you add 25 to your bench

[Suablaug]

@stoner4010 I don't look like I can bench press 350 either. Looks don't always make strength.

[magiccards05]

just do a drop set bro

[liuxas666]

hi Greg,

i am wondering, what's your body weight?my body weight is 156lbs and i am pressing 286lbs now. i'm also training chest 2times a week : one day 5x5 with 242 and second day 3x3 with 264. could you please give me some advices? i would be very greatfull.

Sorry for my english though ;) :)

[Nachovidal3600]

Problem is that I do the whole shit alone. Nobody is squating etc. Fuck that shit, I will do it alone and I wil grow until I wil look like Swarchenegger/

Thank you

[1990slingshot]

@Nachovidal3600 lol WTF

[Nachovidal3600]

But you don' t look that big...

[mavidatt]

dude, it dont look stupid using that foam, we use that in high school weight training as well as u.

[QuasiTJ]

im 18years old & weigh 180lbs & my bench max is 325lbs.

[xRobertx209]

@QuasiTJ so its bad to press everyday? im new to bench pressing need some1 to tell me what to do? i run 3 miles a day though but new to weight lifting..

[hester23x]

@xRobertx209 bench once a week, two at most, and you'll be fine. Don't forget those legs

[superbeast250]

@hester23x i bench every day of the week, whats wrong with that?

[hester23x]

@superbeast250 overtraining, the other days of the week should be used to train accesory muscles (lats, shoulders, etc). Google "how often to bench" for a better explanation.

[turtleownage]

@superbeast250 Benching every day of the week (Or any workout every day) will tire and strain the muscle involved, thus making you weaker and hurting instead of helping you, I workout only during the week and bench heavy only 3 or 4 times a week while working other muscles between days to give my upper body (Mainly what im training right now) a variety of strength instead of tired pecs, sholders and biceps.

[YouKilledYourMaster]

Nobody gives a shit kid.

[ownagexx3]

@QuasiTJ ur the guy from the movie?

[ownagexx3]

Don't be afraid to gain Weight... You have to gain Weight... to Gain strength :-)

[RebornPWNSHOPP]

I have been hitting the bench every other day for 1.5 years now and I've stopped getting stronger and started getting weaker! IDK what the fuck is going on. I always push myself and I'm usually feelin it on my rest day. I currently weigh 180 and bench 230. (IDK if that's above avg) but my goal is to bench 315 and still remain isometricaly strong (if not stronger) does anyone have any tips? I'd really appreciate any help.

[ValgePapu]

@RebornPWNSHOPP I think it's pretty obvious you've been "hitting the bench" toooooo much!

Thats what i think, but Good luck on your goal.

[RebornPWNSHOPP]

@ValgePapu So do you think only doing it twice per week would help? Or even less?

[D4TSIK]

@RebornPWNSHOPP i believe you have reached a plateau, try making a new workout routine

[DeckOfCards52]

John Cena, Never Give Up!!!!

[Cheater1231000]

Tell me how to use bench press to get strenght fast . 1 bench press- 1 day other thing - 1 day other thing and repeat it?

[MrStocktonian]

isnt he doing a powerlifting type arch in his back i heard that makes you stronger i never tried it though

[shadothrust]

i literally started laughing out loud when he tucked that pole up his shirt hahah

[coachswiss]

with this system I got up to 300 lbs on my board press. I'm aiming for 315.

[indulgence88]

when i started benching i never really worked out before so i quickly realised i was very weak haha i started benching a heavy 70lbs haha so ive been benching about 6 months and now i can bench what i feel is a respectable 135lbs. my question is ive hit a plateu and i havent added any more weight in over a month. any tips or input on how to keep upping that number?

[indulgence88]

ive upped my protein intake, lowered my carbs, almost cutting bread altogether, and i think im over the plateu, I benched 140 on tuesday.. o yea i am 22yo about 5'11 and am 165lbs. ive ben doing alot more research and read that throwing in 1/4 or 1/2 movements will help too(pretty much what that foam thing you have there is used for).

[SuperPandaWarrior]

@indulgence88 to build muscle involves tearing them up, and your body literally replacing them with stronger, tougher muscle. To do this requires a lot of strain on your body, so like for me. I can currently bench about 230 lbs as a max, to build muscle, and get stronger, I would work at around 90 - 95% of my max, and do small sets of 2 - 3

[emiss423]

@indulgence88 you have to gradually add more weight id recomend about 10 punds each month

[emiss423]

Respond to this video... nvm that make it 5 and make sure to take your protein but u can go to the 10 if u want

[MrWellingtonInc]

the converse to the gym i like this guy,i can tell simply by that and this video that i want to spend genuine non gay guy time with this guy

[nrshekar2002]

awesome video Craig. As always. :-)

[alowry2002]

Again good stuff Craig. Thanks for the advice and the honesty. I liked the comments on the shoulder. I think I now know how I got a slight shoulder injury on my left side.

[monicasancio]

[Jezey33]

[UnworthyPot]

[PhaKyu75]

im a freshman in HS and i wanna work out for football and i need help how to bench

and tips cuz i suck at it

i can never keep the bar still and its always uneven

[MrStepside93]

@PhaKyu75 start off with light weights and pracyice keeping it straight. form is everything. doesnt matter how much you bench if you dont have good form or technique you wont gain anything

[imjustcoastn]

You need to keep your back straight, flat on the bench or you are really going to hurt your self.

[Drengen10]

@imjustcoastn Sorry not true - Arching back = Strongest - Just be sure your shoulders and but/hip is tucked hard into the bench

[frimshawa]

i m 6 feet 210 pound and i m training more then 8 months but i still can lift 200 pound??? yyy???

[Leman007LH]

HERO! Thanks for another great vid. I really appreciate you sharing your advice based on your experiences. I had a bad shoulder injury and and know the importance of weight lifting technique for the bench press. Thanks for the insight into other techniques to watch out for.
