@kozmums #1 there is a technical term for "straight arm" its called locking out
#2 locking out is bad for your joints because it puts all the weight/pressure directly on the joints.
#3 he went past half way
So no your wrong those 4 were reps and honeslty not going all the way up is more of a rep then locking out because when you lock out there is a short resting period at the top, unlike what he did, he went almost to the top and didnt lock out which causes the strain of the weight to
Your not suppose to lock out on reps. Look at pro bodybuilders. All you fuckers with the comments are the D bags who take N.O explode 6x a day and bench press 5 days a wk with only a pair of 45's on the bar and think your lil 170lb asses are swoll. Eat shit and sign up for step class.
@live4liftin not really. power lifters lockout. idiots who aren't bodybuilders but keep on following bodybuilding routines normally whine about that sort of thing. but you probably already know this.
stupid fuck, not locking out your elbows ruins them in the long run because you don't strengthen your joints. When you have a large muscle belly and weak tendons or joints (to describe all tissues around the muscles edge) you tear muscles. Thats why bodybuilders tear their triceps when they throw a ball. Your joints need to bear weight to get stronger and the stronger they are the better they feel as long as you don't go nuts with it.
@MadiBebe Joints dont strengthen as fast as muscles. In fact it takes a very long time. You have it backwards. In the long run if you keep locking out on pressin movements then your joints will be fucked up. You tear muscles when the tendons aren't strong enough to bear the weight so the tear off the bone.
only a select few can bench 1.5x their body weight. You are that select few. Damn what's your secret? i'm 145 and can only bench 180 8reps and i REALLY want to increase it to 215 what's your secret??????? how long have you been benching? Cuz i started 8months ago and wanna know how long it will take for me to get there. advice please
Ask any professional BB and they will tell you that locking out is a NO NO. WHen you lock out to take the resistance off the muscles and put it on the joints. If you want big muscles use a good range of motion but dont completely lock out.
After looking at this vid, id say the form is actually pretty good.
yes i lockedmy knees on leg press and i now have holes in my knee cartlidge i am 30 , think my weight days are over, i only started gymn around age 29 1/2 go i wish i hadnt joined gymm
You are a beast. How much do you train bench? I kinda think maybe 'less is more'.

first 4 wasnt your arms straight up so it doesnt count, it is only half lifting. From 0:18 you do it right with straight arms, that is 5!

locking your elbows takes the stress off of your pecs and your triceps...going up without locking them is better form and a better workout
