[WintersunFTWFTW]

[spikeyboy48]

[PrimeTime631]

this is one of ronnie colemans trainers so you guys can stop hating.

[TheMark76ers]

good video but cant hear a thing

[OnePunch89]

This is the first time I've seen a technique video with someone using a false grip...

[iusermikee55]

My apolygies to all you Gays out there. I don't disrespect you, when I was a kid, "GAY", was just name calling. If this idiot ever views his own vids, you'd think he'd remove them. DON'T COPY THIS TWATS GRIP TECHNIQUE!

@Berus777, am I forgiven? Sorry bout the gay thing.

Someone pull this video

[Berus777]

Cannot Hear The Speaker. What were you even thinking trying to film an instructional video with that racket in the background. BUT MOST OF ALL, ARE YOU INSANE WITH THAT GRIP??? PUT YOUR DAMN THUMB AROUND THE BAR YOU IDIOT BEFORE YOU TEACH SOMEONE HOW TO KILL HIMSELF. LOOK AT THE VIDEO ON HERE OF A GUY WHO NEARLY DIES USING THIS GRIP. GEEEZ, WHAT FUCKING NOOBS.

[terminator734]

there is a reason its called suicide grip cuz next time u bench like that might be ur last...

[Powerliftershawnr]

sup check out my channel and sub if you like it..pz

[hulkman44]

Everybody is an expert on here! The best technique to use is you own. You have to find what works best for you and stick with it.

[T74G]

@hulkman44

AMEN!!!!

[runnalls]

keep the head on the bench too....well i guess that depends on your federation...but still...drive it back into the bench

[ocpowerlifters]

Suicide grip? yeah great advice....

[iusermikee55]

What did he say? His gay music is too loud.

[T74G]

@iusermikee55

cant hear dude...

[Berus777]

@iusermikee55 That's definitely not gay music - gays have better taste in music.

[xstrifex123]

he should prob turn the music off so we can hear him

[madmattdisease92]

anyone else notice the one major flaw in this form? that false grip

who ever false grips, i hope the bar falls on u some day

[russellziske]

Wrap that thumb.

[mastermaybe]

worst hair ever?

[palsanychnyc]

Lol, they work out to Rage against the machine. Good selection!!

[Terminigga]

music is too loud.. my ears gonna fall off watching this vid

[bruggetje]

turn off music, cant hear wtf he's saying =\

[barjay8519]

few things I found wrong with his form... a. hes lifting his head off the bench... this takes away from the tightness in your lats that you need for exploding at the bottom

b. his elbows weren't flared, but they weren't tucked really either...

c. he should drive his shoulders/traps into the back of the bench by pushing off the floor with his feet on the ground.. he wouldn't be able to do this with his feet the way they were in this video

[HeavyMetalVagabond]

yo man cud you help me. basically my technique is like... keep my shoulder blades tucked back, feet planted on the floor firmly, head doesnt ever leave the bench, hands in the normal position. BUT, every now and again, when i start a set after jus a couple of reps my shoulder (normally left, somtimes both) fucking hurts like hell, not cos it cant lift any more, jus... gets a sharp pain

[barjay8519]

the sharpness maybe because of your form, but correcting your form alone might not aleviate the problem immediately.. you may want to take a light week (around 50% of your 1rm) and do 3 sets of 10 reps with that weight or something.. I always found that when I alternate rep ranges I stay fresh.. a sharp pain could be a pinched nerve, it could be anything.. depends on where the sharp pain is.. it could be your delts? I suggest you try what I suggested though

[tino190]

man shut up, or post a video showing your technique. brian dobson been training for years, hes done powerlifting and bodybuilding. i would take his advice over yours

[barjay8519]

its funny how you tell me to post a video, when I have about 60 of them and 100% of them are of weightlifting... you've just failed to look along with a few other things

[ExhumedANDConsumed]

Dave Tate from westside barbell who can bench 700lb+ uses that foot technique (heel off the ground), I am not sure that its bad or anything... he always sends confusing mixed messages in his bp videos. I know what ur saying tho, good points.

[slasher9105]

You have thumbs for a reason.. so use them. Also, the bar should be in allignment with the elbow and his hands should not be bent like that. Also, the J-Hooks should be shallow enough that he doesn't have to extend to lift the weight... ruins the tightness. Okay video though, guaranteed they know this stuff.. just didnt mention it.

[iandealer]

Too bad you cant even hear what he is saying lol

[shitheadboob]

bulls on parade bad azzzzzz/

[turningaxe]

was he lowering the bar on the nipples or below the nipples.?

[infern01]

below, u get more power then.

[R3ZA]

man metroflex gym plays the most intense music i've ever seen at a gym.

fuck i wish there was a hardcore gym in my area

[svcreeper]

i know right. its kind of hard to lift heavy shit when chris brown and kelly clarkson are playing. i need some loud violent shit bumping !

[bonexxx5]

hahahahaha hell yea man i mean look at chris brown he dont go to a gym and these gyms expect you to lift to his music fuck that!!!!!!!!!!

[turningaxe]

I prefer listening to nickelback or metallica when lifting...other's maybe celine dion.lol

[svcreeper]

fukin-a bro! check out sixfeetunder and throwdown for some good workout music.

[3AA2]

ill second that dude....feasting on the blood of the insane is the best lifting song

[svcreeper]

what band is it i wanna check'm out?

[samwise0714]

Rage Against The Machine - tune is Bulls On Parade!

[svcreeper]

nevermind lol it's 6ftunder they make up more than half of my lifting playlist the remake they made of TNT is the shit!

[3AA2]

ha yeah that song is the shit...you should check out the live footage of it its fuckin badass

[thomasorchard]

Why do a lot of lifters use a thumbless grip when benching? Pretty stupid imo

[GreasyGuerilla]

LESS STRESS ON YOUR WRIST

[hmfr34k]

MORE STRESS ON YOUR RIBCAGE

[GreasyGuerilla]

HOW DO YOU MEAN, CUNT

[hmfr34k]

Cut out the caps lock shit. Anyways the risk of dropping the bar increases greatly with that grip, no question bout that.

[rspvponly]

im just looking to increase my max bench for now, but have no spotter, should i use smith machine? yet, im just kinda a free weight kinda person. but i cant do heavier weights that i wanna do. should i just keep repping out a pyramid i can do?

[KingAttle]

smith machine is the worst thing you can do, grab a spotter off the floor, make sure they dont touch the bar, high set, low rep.

[Meni69]

Do dumbbells rspvponly

[whitephantom85]

dont get me wrong i like R.A.M., but id like to here what hes saying as well

[carbiduis]

RETARD GRIP

[kwezeltjuh1]

@carbiduis that retard grip is the best grip ..-.-

[MrJones706]

Thanks for making the video guys, but, that music is way too loud. It is a shame too because it would be a really cool video if we could hear you.

[tooxtreme55]

too bad we cant hear a thing they are saying..maybe next time they will learn to turn down the music when they are gonna film a video

[snapura]

Isn't that the same guy that spots Ronnie Coleman? Someone probably has already mentioned it, but I'm too lazy to read.

[awazha]

yea hes the owner of the gym.. and the guy who helped move Ronnie towards pro body building.

[flavoroflove5]

RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE!!

[BigOnes98]

Where is Ronnie!? I think I heard "light weight baaaabbbyyy!" in the background

[SJRNWT]

I think the guy in the video, with the "Army of One" t-shirt is one of Ronnie's workout partners.

[yakamatsu]

coleman doesn´t own these 3 words....

maybe somebody else was just yelling the same way coleman does

[SJRNWT]

I think you're replying to BigOnes98, not me.

[yakamatsu]

oh...sry man...pushed the wrong button^^

[HKDrider]

and I give this vid a 10 because Bulls On Parade is playin in the background

[powertazzy]

I'm a junior powerlifter in UK so might be a bit different but rules over here is feet flat on floor and no movement of feet or head while lifting. Bar must also stop on your chest (which you can raise by arching your back-not cheating)

[chddie1]

somebody get this man some more weight

[Pulits]

I'm not a bench press expert but, why is arching? And I think his hand grip is incorrect, wtf?

[chickenwaterboy]

arching is when you use your legs to push your self and gives a boost; its cheating like bouncing the bar on your chest, hes holding for wide grip. for grip, you can either put index, middle or pinky there on the soft metal part. He put it on his middle finger cuz he's bigger.

[ArnoldIsTheNigga]

its not cheating at all. All the professional powerlifters bench like this. Arching the back shortens the distance the bar has the travel. and putting the legs bent like that gives you power to drive through you legs.

[Jester995]

The hand grip isn't "incorrect" it's just not the one most people opt to use. It's a thumbs under grip (aka suicide grip) and most people in the know will argue it is better from a technique point of view (although not for safety). That's not to say either one is actually "correct" - this one just stops your flexors and extensors working against eachother.

[Knightjc]

i always wondered y u wanna be like that ... if ur so big ur pointlessly a huge hunk of a muscle that's sooo slow and no agility

[redjello720]

wow you're stupid. some people weight lift because it's a sport. others need that strength for other sports such as wrestling, shotput, etc.

[Jester995]

lol not many people wanna be like that. Strength training is just a tool for building muscle - it doesn't mean everyone who does it ends up looking like a fat powerlifter.

[HKDrider]

not ALL powerlifters are fat. The ones at my gym in fact are ripped to the teeth. The reason why some of them are fat is bc they never work thier abs or do cardio to compensate all the calories and supplements they take. Natural lifters (like me) tend to be leaner.

[Jester995]

Why can't powerlifters be "natural" too. They don't have to be juicing to earn the title powerlifter. They get the rep of being fat because the ultimate aim of powerlifting is to lift as heavy as possible. Cutting and defining is more effort than it's worth for that purpose.

[diesel7777777]

I...don't know what to say. To compensate for all the supplements they take?  Work their ABS? Try doing some dealifts and overhead squats and tell me your abs aren't worked. and to any uninformed readers, no amount of ab work will get you shredded. Proper diet and HIIT will. Powerlifters tend to be at high bodyfat percentages because they choose to eat more than they need to feed their muscles so as to get the very most out of their lifts. The main picture is strength for them.

[SJRNWT]

Man wtf are you talking about? Deadlifts work your lower back, not your abs. Lol I wanna see a powerlifter or even a bodybuilder do windshield wipers, that would be impressive.

[ofnair]

Powerlifters not working abs? All powerlifters trains abs, and many of them does some cardio, but they eat more calories than they burn, så they get fat(me included:D).

[raider1242]

y0ou dont want to arch your back alot its not good for it

[AfricanZackMorris]

BULLS ON PARADE!

[karkda]

yeah u must rap ur thumbs around it properly

cause i held it once like that and the wieghts dropped on my chest not a good feeling

[scondore]

well if you get a good suicide grip (no thumbs) there is nothing to worry about, and it actually helps your bench, your thumbs will get your forearms in there, making alot more of the tention on your forearms, and less on your chest.

[ProudAmerican9]

see how he is holding his thumbs. that is a dangerous way to grip the bar

[Filthinthecradle]

the more you arch your back the easier it is

[JoeE71]

And the easier to injur your back too. Arching is not good form at all.

[marshalljman]

Thats horrible form....His feet arent flat on the floor and hes lifting his head off the bench.

[152monkeybiker]

I can't hear what you are saying

[qu1z]

Rage is the best, but turn it down so we can hear at least.
