Dave Tate's Six-Week Bench Press Cure

[shampoop7]

it looks like his ass is of the bench??

[jayrobson88]

If hes so good at bodbybuilding why is he a fat out of shape looking marfucka. Any way, tis helps me alot.

[PowerSprinter]

@jayrobson88 hes not a bodybuilder, hes a powerlifter

[SwoledIke]

Fuck the World! Daves the MAN! If you dont like it suck my fat hairy balls!

[Percey1]

I've been benching improperly this whole time. This is great, thanks.

[DEIMOSLOL]

wow..I learned a lot.

[1TaaKe4]

>Fat ass using a suicide grip to bench

Do you even lift?

[gwfan04]

Good tips, but this guy comes off as a meathead, not just an aggressive motivator. "Me bad, my bad" haha.

[majselxop]

@gwfan04

Can't really blame him though, he probably gets a million questions every day about bench press technique

[mauibh1]

great video, its helped my sixteen year old son blow trough technique errors and opened his eyes, good job man!

[AAAngus1]

Probably the best video on bench press I've ever seen. The whole keep your elbow under your wrist thing is what gave me a wake up call.

[ushock]

the fuck kinda photo shoot is set up in back at the very end?

[ch0wn]

@ushock 9:25 WTF ?????? O.o

[x78340]

Why so angry?...Roid rage, anyone?

[LostFaceify]

I would respect this guy so much more if he didnt swear. But thank you for the tips.

[TheYouwontgetit]

i think i have a pretty good technique...

[sanityquotient]

I wish this guy could coach me for a day.

[coreymayoung2291]

great stuff man



[AngloSaxonMMA]

Hating on 'standard' gym bench press is as bad as a bodybuilder hating on a powerlifting press. Maybe people's goals are to have a full ROM (within a safe limit on their shoulders) rather than just be super strong in the few inches of a powerlifting bench.

[Roxxzor816]

@AngloSaxonMMA >implying you know how to bench

Go back to your smith machine faggot

[AngloSaxonMMA]

@Roxxzor816 How did I even imply that? Looking at your scrawny self I could probably bench 3x your bodyweight @ 70kg and strength training is something I do only 2 times a year to supplement a full mma and cardio programme. Plus I've never benched in a smith machine.

[Roxxzor816]

@AngloSaxonMMA u r 1 fukin cheeky kunt m8 i swear im goin 2 wreck u i swear on my mums life and i no u r scared lil bitch gettin ur mates to send me messages saying dont meet up coz ur sum big bastard wit mussles lol fuckin sad m8 really sad jus shows wut a scared lil gay boy u r and whats all this crap ur m8s sendin me bout sum bodybuildin website that 1 of your favrite places to look at men u lil fukin gay boy fone me if u got da balls cheeky prick see if u can step up lil queer

[sivart149]

@Roxxzor816

hai misc

[AAAngus1]

@AngloSaxonMMA Even though this video is completely about how to bench to your maximum limit he also states that by keeping the back flat and lowering in a straight line to the chest places a high stress on the shoulders. I doubt any strength coaches would disagree with that. The way around it is to use dumbells or to use a slight angle of incline or decline.

[AngloSaxonMMA]

@AAAngus1 Well there are plenty of people who can lift heavy weight with a more traditional form without problems. Generally they're doing this for other reasons than getting their numbers up. All I was saying is he doesn't help the PL V BB war by saying BB are doing it wrong when people have different goals. Its like if I made a video and said "powerlifters think their bench is so perfect, but if they tried to bench press me in a jiu jitsu match they'd get armbar'd like a bitch."

[lilbobpwnsu]

dave never showed a foot out position :(

[EmotionalShredd]

dave is my man

[EmotionalShredd]

a guy who knows what hes talkin about

[xOrion89x]

MY BAD BRAH

[SKraaijenzank]

@krb0123 and @jkas30, you're funny. Go do some more steroids. That'll probably increase your brains..... At least you'll get bigger nipples and a higher temper. Have a great day! :D

[jkas30]

@SKraaijenzank 1. I don't do steroids. 2. You should probably google dave tate and then tell me he's fat. 3. This man is teaching about bench press not bodybuilding you fuck. 4. Having a great day thanks. 5. Eat shit and die you ignorant fuck.

[SKraaijenzank]

Why the heck is this fat guy giving advise on bodybuilding?

[krb0123]

@SKraaijenzank this isnt a bodybuilding video your at the wrong place pussy go do some cable crossovers

[HanstheDestroyer215]

@krb0123 haha best thing ive heard in a long time, fuckin bbers

[jkas30]

@SKraaijenzank are you retarded or something?

[Joe3Gallo]

@SKraaijenzank youre a true idiot

[pumitaproductions]

looks like he's trying to desperately turn the bench into a weighted dip :P

<3 weighted dips

[rodja49]

@Rawz1k

You obviously have no idea who Dave Tate is. He's benched over 600lb in competition. I highly, highly doubt that you even approach that.

[MrBartoloification]

lol "maybe you just don't know how to fuckin bench!" lmao

[triggersprollie]

this video completley changed my life

[juan619salazar]

"What is it my bad, Who the fuck came up with that" xD

[andyevs10191]

fuckin thank you for this fuckin video

[gallya]

Been training on the bench form he showed me, use to be benching 275lb x 5reps. Now im doing 335 x 4 reps, this form is important

[KoskN123]

@gallya I feel you man. Been watching all Dave Tate´s videos for benching and taking notes and tonight it was time to put it to the test! Increased 20kg! And i got a pump in my chest that ive NEVER EVER felt before! Ive been benching wrong for 8 months! I throwed away 8 months of training!!! FUCK! I always felt like my shoulders and triceps worked harder then my chest doing benchpress but not anymore:D. Keep up the good work! DAVE TATE ROCKS! PLS ADOPT ME!

[gallya]

@KoskN123 exactly, the way you benched you even showed yourself the problem. "I always felt like my shoulders and triceps worked harder then my chest" like u said, shows that ppl tried to fix that by doing extra exercises to try and fix that problem. It wasn't a problem of ur triceps or shoulders....it was only the form. This form has become a role modelling that i show to everyone when they need to know more about bench

[911sanitarium]

i wanna fuck this guy good im gay by the way

[ryandoe11]

@911sanitarium uhhhhh

[911sanitarium]

@ryandoe11 i seriously would suck his cock dry im gay but i dont like body builders i love strongmen so they can rip my asshole

[inktoxicated]

@911sanitarium omg lol



[420nietzsche]

9:00 I loll'd hard

[yelnilapple]

@420nietzsche "My bad" came from Manute Bol, the NBA player from Sudan. He didn't know english pretty well, that's how he said he was sorry when he made mistakes.

[chonyfire2011]

is the butt supposed to be on the bench or lifted over the bench?

[Chaaarge]

@chonyfire2011 idk about all federations, but I know that in the IPF (in which I'm competing) the butt has to be on the bench. I think most federations say the butt has to be on the bench. However, the ipf also says that the heels have to be on the ground, and not all federations have that rule

[IFrapAllDay]

Wow Dave Tate, I just found out I was doing the bench press horribly wrong!

MYBAD.

[RiZzo187]

He sounds like "fucking" Dana fucking White

[1080famous]

i caught a mistake! if you drive the bar in a / angle back towards the rack, you are pushing the bar so much further! if you go straight | up it will be less distance!

[cozoner]

He only showed one way to bench and why the fuck is his whole middle to lower body off the bench....focus on the chest!

[ironmonnkey15]

@cozoner You reduce the range of motion. Most people have to much range of motion when benching and that can cause you to do damage to your elbows, etc. if you do not have perfect form. When you arch your back it allows you to press with a lot more power as well.

[rumpeldieter]

@cozoner yeah dave tate is just another internet hero like Dante Trudel oder Jim Wendler fucking trolls

[Malkieth]

@rumpeldieter

You ignorant fucking cunt.

[rumpeldieter]

@Malkieth wooot? 

[Malkieth]

@rumpeldieter

Like I said you are an ignorant cunt... and might I add disrespectfull. Dave Tate is a fucking great guy giving this information out here for FREE so that guys like me living in a country where powerlifing and crossfit havent exploaded yet might atempt to learn. You sir are the troll,

[rumpeldieter]

@Malkieth ever heard of irony fucking faggot?

[Malkieth]

@rumpeldieter I have, I care not for it and I didnt see any hint of it in your original post.

[cozoner]

Fail...Just benching advice fail

[ghidfg]

o shit.. my bad bro, thought my form was pretty dece.

[korvix]

dude this is amazing, i feel like an idiot for benching poorly for months now

my eyes cringe when i look at guys at the gym benching, haha thanks dave

[OrangeGummiBar]

@korvix I feel the same exact way.

[o6dude]

MY BAD

[o6dude]

sorry, my bad

[Claymore2408]

Best video on the bench press i've seen, I thought i was doing it right untill i saw this and now I can bench 220lbs with EASE.

[blanka517]

if you have longer arms, is it natural for your elbows to still go below the seat?

[ryanwegner2010]

@bjjisthebest27 No, i'm not. I bring it to my nipple line, maybe slightly lower. The bar is supposed to go directly up, and directly down, not up and down your body like this fat cunt is doing it.

[ryanwegner2010]

@bjjisthebest27 Read my comment again. You are basically confirming what I said.

[09footballislife]

I don't think this guy knows how to FUCKIN BENCH! sike this rly works went from 155 to 225 in 2 months

[ProBinderSpinner]

my bad

[flukebullet1987]

next time i bench press im going to push myself into the floor!

[Fr4nzmann]

@bjjisthebest27 did you even watch the video? haha idiot

[AkAndreiKo]

Faggot uses monkey grip

[TFritz82]

I've never been to a meet that encourages "flat backed" benching. It's called using physics and basic mechanics to your advantage. It's not cheating at all. Half the ass hats in the gym claiming they "hit 315 for reps" have their ass 3 inches off the bench, are flat backed, elbows flared out and DON'T EVEN TOUCH THEIR CHEST. Half reps don't count man. Flat backed my ass. Go get fucked.

[awsomenessmortion]

Thanks Mr Tate for giving me a max bench today

[ryanwegner2010]

@bjjisthebest27 You're probably one of those dipshits who flares their elbows out and brings it to their upper chest. You're supposed to bring it to the upper abs/lower chest.

[saxz99]

"fuck i hate this" min 6:07

[M1thotyn]

8:30 this is just too rich. He's teaching absolutely everything that will disqualify you in any normal competition. He just got done showing how he keeps his elbows above the bench by arching his back with his feet out, cutting the distance of the bar in half. yeah, everyone knows that dipshit, it's called CHEATING! Keep your fucking back flat else it doesn't count!

[Victoriousweapons]

@M1thotyn Please stop embarassing yourself with all that broscience. Powerlifting and bodybuilding presses are two different things. Don't confuse the two.

[M1thotyn]

5:12 the glory of power lifting. All he did was put his feet on the bench, tighten up, and then put them down and he already has to catch his breath. I recently got back into lifting, but when I think off all of the actual power lifters I was around when I was a teen, my uncle and his friends, I just cant consider it a sport. They were all fat chain smokers, showing up to workouts with a dozen fast food burgers (seriously!) for protein.

[vettefever67]

6:07  lol.

[Dayga]

"My bad. Who in the fuck came up with that?!" Hilarious.

[aelhana]

This guy knows his shit at first i would struggle with a plate and 15's. So I saw this video and after I finished watching it I said what the hell why not give it a try. I went down into the basement. Racked a plate. banged it out no problem. Racked a plate and a quater. Banged it out no problem. Racked a plate and 35's. same thing. Racked a plate 35's and a 10 pc.. Boom two plates with 5 reps. Got confident enough to go with a plate quarters and 35s and I maxxed out at one rep. Thanks a ton!!!

[Pellepluttskrutt]

Great vid.

[GrosPainChaud]

It is so true what he says about ppl who do not perform the movements correctly. Even when trying to help'em out they'll answer: "well, I am working my muscle differently". Yeah, right, seems like you don't want to admit you just suck.

[M1thotyn]

@GrosPainChaud You're talking about a guy that doesn't even keep his back flat and does everything he can to lessen the distance the bar travels. THIS DOES TEACHES YOU HOW TO BENCH LIKE A CHEATER! Benchpressing like he teaches doesn't count. I drop 50 to 100lbs off whatever anyone benches like this. If you bench 315 like this, I'll call you a 225 bencher. For a BP to count in the REAL WORLD the back must stay flat and you must lockout to begin. This guy has you performing magic tricks.

[GodLivingGuy]

@M1thotyn And i call you fag for pressing only 225 instead of 315. Geez you total moron

[M1thotyn]

@GodLivingGuy I'd rather bench 225 while using my actual upper body muscles than to hip sling 315 down, bounce it off my chest and push up behind my head to cut 8 inches off its travel distance. Because in reality, if I benched 315 like that (the dave tate way), then in reality my pecs, shoulders, triceps and lats probably wouldn't be able to handle over 225 anyway. These are better called CHEATER techniques. Magic tricks. 

[M1thotyn]

@GodLivingGuy This video is still better titled "How to trick people into thinking you can benchpress more weight using cheater tricks!"

[TeenagedBodyBuilder]

So thats why my lats are sore after a chest day... >.<

[blackkened1]

Dave, cheers from Canada! That bench looks like warfare!!!

[Mattyboyzie]

i want this guy to be my trainer!

[michaelthomascallaha]

@Mattyboyzie Fuck that. I want this guy to be my dad.

[Shai571]

@michaelthomascallaha

WTF?

[Coilz0r]

He's cheating. 6:34 he is using his belly to help bench press!!!

[rodja49]

@Coilz0r

Learn how to bench.

[yelnilapple]

"My bad" was originated by Manute Bol. He's from Sudan but played in the NBA. Obviously his english wasn't as good, and "my bad" was his way of saying "sorry, my fault."

[thisisjvn]

You the man Dave!

[Doodle1208]

Thanks for the advice. I will try this next time i bench.

[Kixat]

wished there were people like you in the netherlands :( never seen a seminar or anything, and i would definatly love to be in one.

Thanks alot for the video, hope its gonna help me soon. got a back injury so can't do real weights so i can focus on technique :)

[danny0604]

Wish i could meet you. I suck at bench press but i think maybe your video solved my problem. cant tell until chest workout day.

[jwilslifeismusic]

great stuff here. Thanks for the wisdom

[simonjpa]

Thanks for the advices
