When you pull your shoulder blades together, should you also shrug up at the same time?

[OfTheWillows]

@gymguy25

He covered this at the first video. The answer is no.

[Mr0Beast]

so its bad to have a close grip?O.O i've always thought it was better. where should i put my fingers and grip?

[Euphorica]

that guy keeps wanting to lift his head

[matklstrength]

@Euphorica

you are allowed to lift your head.

[RunnerJim95]

@TheTomtah I dunno, I've seen it done with wrists bent and straight, these T Nation and EliteFts guys seem to coach the straight wrists.

[xBiGxKiNGx]

@RunnerJim95 weight plays a factor. i can bend my wrists as much as i want for lower weight. but i get up in the 500 pound range, if i bend my wrist im going to be dumbing that weight off in no time.

[TheTomtah]

Why are his wrists straight when benching? That's not right.

[LTMagic21]

@TheTomtah if his wrists are back, his arms are not directly beneath the weight, making it almost a tricep extension type of setup when bringing the weight down.

[jm0071]

good stuff

[ORTprod]

@swmoon2009 I am guessing because of his shoulder issue, he prefers a lower spot to press from.

[sinniist]

@swmoon2009 That point is higher so its a shorter distance for the bar to travel
