ive never thought abt doing tates w bands cant wait to try them i do alot of skulls with bands and pushdowns

[swettybettybob]

what I mean is, I thought your bench press would be a lot more than that, considering how much you do on legs

[Blenderate]

@swettybettybob I have had multiple elbow surgeries due to an injury I sustained when I was 10 years old. It has held me back in my training my whole life. I still managed to bench 429 at one point.

[swettybettybob]

your legs seem a lot stronger than your bench

[SmexyPC]

@swettybettybob no shit lol gerneally squats are suppose to be stronger than bench

Great form on the benchpress

[shortfatandcrass]

Damn dumbells with bands. That looks scary. Does it feel like it could snap back any second and hit you in the face?

[brightmma]

thanks for the ideas. do you have any more specific info? I am doing my first push pull event in feb.

[Blenderate]

Specific to what? The workout routine you use is going to depend on dozens of individual factors that make up your unique situation.

sorry, i didnt see all the other vids you had out. But i am taking notes and have subscribed to your page.  I am new to the deadlift but i tried 405 the other night for grins and pulled it off. I need to start from scratch though. I want to try your grip next time i hit the gym.

is it legal in a competition to raise your butt while using hip drive? just wondering

[Blenderate]

Your hips can move, but your butt has to remain in contact with the bench the whole time.

[08u235086349h08gh3]

i need to practice my form then because i always raise my butt

[SupremeSportsPT]

Watch the butt coming off the bench on the paused singles. I'll ask ET about the footwear.
