in my opinion your elbows were way to far from your body. ive got tod by a "real" strongman who finnished first in tons of competitions that you should try to turn in your elbows to realease preasure from shoulders and get more isolation to the chest. also when you take the weight down to your chest it should be just below your chest muscles... not above as in this clip....
id rather listen to someone with TONS (hehe) of experience... then to someone i dont know in a random youtubevid....
Hi, can you please tell me how I can improve my technique on bench press, (and tell me what you think) here is me doing it (I'm 16): /watch?v=5mAhV12KbC4
not impressed at all I'm 13 natural and push 430 on da bench and proud of it full range. I have vids to prove it too. This is all just roids/drugs doing the work.
bench press is the worlds most OVERRATED exercise. too much pressure on the joints and will eventually tear your shoulders. in fact its a horrible exercise to do unless you are using dumbbells. but what do i know im only a master trainer
Hi, I'm a 16 y/o dude from Norway that just started lifting. I'm almost 6'5 and I weigh about 200 lbs, and I can only benchpress 110 lbs. Could it be that I'm holding the bar with a grip thats too narrow? Or maybe it's just because I started working out.
Also, I think that my triceps are pretty damn weak, and the triceps play a major role in the benchpress, correct? What is a good workout routine (3 days a week) that focuses on triceps/biceps/chest/back/shoulders for a beginner?
@iBj0rN what u need to focus on is everything... heres a example do on monday upper body tuesday lower body wednesday rest thursday upper body friday lower body and the weekend rest try to get everything aswell forearm & traps just exercise everything
@iBj0rN dude. dont worry. if u just started thats okay. I think you should concentrate more on the squat and deadlift. if those two increase gradually than your bench press will because those two excercises are the best compound excercises. dont worry how much u can bench. just do what u can. if u max 110 than take 60% of that and rep the shit out of it for one day a week. the second day u train bench press use 70 to 80% of your max. also have workouts for all parts of your body.
@iBj0rN u said your 6'5. well the bad thing about being tall is that the bar has to travel farther bro. thats why u see guys with short arms are hella good at the bench press.
@iBj0rN be careful not to curve u back with the deadlift. but dont worry. benchin is not easy.... even for me. i am a freak when it comes to form. i kno that the weights will follow.
@iBj0rN No legs? Dont be that idiot that only does upper body, eventually it will look stupid....don't worry about where your starting at because at 16 you have a lot of time to improve...for a routine look up the Mark Rippetoe Starting Strength routine, its specially made for beginners and will help you master compound movements
@iBj0rN As a total beginner, starting with some type of full-body routine could work wonders for you. Try going to the gym on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and work all body parts. This will include chest, legs, back, shoulders, abs, and biceps/triceps. Try doing maybe 1-2 sets of a single exercise to start out with and gradually work your way up to 2-3 sets of one exercise for each body part. Then as this becomes easier for you, begin to split your body parts up into two different days.
Good video. The children talking about the weight on the bar or the music in the back. 1.) Grow up 2.) Go check out Scooby and soak in the wisdom. You will do well to open your ears and shut your mouths.
In regards to his form I don't think that he's arching his back it just looks like that cause he has such a large chest. Personally I prefer dumbbell chest press to a bar bell bench press. This is because usually you have a stronger side and using dumbbells helps to address this. I usually like to train at home and for that you need a multi purpose bench.
To find out more, click on my username now - and you'll see the website link in my profile.
people complaining about his form are just complete idiots. His form is 100% correct and arching your back is to put stress on chest whilst taking it out shoulders.
If you havent lifted anything past a plate in your life don't fucking complain dumbfucks.
I don't know what kinda bench press I have, but I had it for 5 years.. Barbell is 15 pounds and the bench seat is a little bit high. Most of my times, I can't even put my feet down leaving it very hard for me to benchpress cuz I can't get any strength from my legs. I just started working out again for a month and a half.. I started off at 85 pounds, and finally I can maxed out 135 (no help from the legs).. Don't laugh... Maybe in a couple of months, I can max out 200.. Who knows.
Also Arching your back causes potential back injury. Kids do it because theyre all a bunch of twats trying to look hard benching extra weight to impress their mates & fit birds who dont give a fuck! LOL.
@Haole37 Arching your back - First of all Its cheating & defies implying the correct technique of benching. Arching your back is done by those who want to lift the extra few kilograms whilst using poor form.
@carpdiem88 By squeezing your shoulder blades together you get a natural arch in your back which helps put more emphases on the pectorals instead of the anterior deltoids, shoulders and triceps. What you don't want to be doing is taking your lower back off the bench. That is poor form.
@boston2O13 Thats not good... lol I'm 14 and maxxing 190 - if you know how to workout correctly, eat right, take your proteins and creatines like I do, I'll be maxxing 275-300 by your age lol
@devonlee96 Its funny how lots of retarded kids and students around the world, and especially kids on youtube are obsessed with how much they can bench. Who gives a fuck whether you bench more than twice your body weight at 14. 275-300lbs, what do you think you will achieve out of that? Women? Ah I know, you want bigger breasts! LOL! Dream on youre only 14.
the 13 year old kid who commented below your the pussy who's trying to show off + plus your prob really weak and your prob 3 and half years old so just stop showing off and come on now its your half the vidios on youtube are fake..
@halflife1994 make sure you alternate lifts, like lower body one day and upper body the next. ex dont do bench press then do it again the next day. eat plenty of protein preferrably not red meat , and dont take advice from people on youtube
@frusciantenc lmao you told him not to take youtube advice but whats "make sure you alternate lifts, like lower body one day and upper body the next. ex dont do bench press then do it again the next day. eat plenty of protein preferrably not red meat"
@Drewvyy just above, depending on how big your chest, if you go all the way down, you would work the shoulders as well and could result in injury( rarely) but always keep it just above the chest by 2 inches .
I can't bench without wobbling. I just started to go to the gym a week ago but this is pissing me off. How embarassing I can't even lift straight without weights. I've looked at at least 20 different youtube vids I hope I can get the form down packed. Any tips for a beginner would be highly appreciated.
Damn man thank you i was 229lbs busted my ass off for a bout 5 months and did a little here and there of what i have learned from you and now i'm at 170lbs started hitting the gym my goal is at least 195lbs if anyone would like to follow me on twitter look me up- Schettini17 thank you
I've been lifting pretty much everyday and i'm trying to gain enough muscle mass before football starts next year to play fullback. i would appreciate it if someone could recommend me a weight gainer that would help me gain muscle mass quick without being too fattening. my goal is to gain 25 pounds by football season
i once happen i was bench pressing with somebody but i couldnt lift it and my partner stayed there like dumb . i couldnt lift it, i had no clamps, a weight came off, and he tryed to take it up but since a weight got off was unbalanced the the other weight fall i felt stupid...
@lokrenzo : When benching to get ultimate power/form you need to arch your back.. try this by moving your feet backwords, so that your feet are behind your knee's and your bottom back is OFF the bench :)
We are trying to find the ultimate user of a Bulgarian Bag. Take the Fitpro / Konkura 'Bulgarian Bag' Challenge at Konkura.com.
There is demo video of exactly what you have to do for the challenge and a leaderboard of the leading scores. Go to Konkura.com to compete (its completely free)
I'm surprised to see how poor his technique is considering he's doing a video. FYI: I'm a former power lifter who's recorded several competition lifts of more than double my weight - no drugs. This guy leaves out several critical elements such as grip width and elbow & shoulder blade positioning. Which might not be such a big deal if he at least demonstrated he knew what he was doing.
He's wrong. For bench pressing, especially if you don't have a spotter, you SHOULD NOT use the clips. If your chest fails and the bar gets too heavy, it's better for you to dip the bar and let the weights fall off than have it fall on your neck.
expertvillage sucks, and if you want tips for improvement or doing anything, steer away from all the information they give here. This guy doesn't even know how to do the presses properly himself, notice how when he's lifting, the bar is tilted, it's because he's not lifting with proper form. When you lift a lot of weight tilted like that, it's going to have a very negative effect on your overall technique, amount of weight / reps, and your muscle's symmetry.
this dude leaves out alot of info...look for better vids if your new to lifting they will show you proper way to bench with out jackin your shoulders up..never flare your elbows, narrow grip is better then wide and you should always stick your chest out and have a minor arch in your back to keep your shoulders inline
@AndyHarglesis no its 100 percent false. if it were true you would post a video or just not mention it at all. and yeah you are 15 years old. you were just dumb enough when you were making your lie to not consider that people get older and you want to stay 13 years old forever. well thats impossible. your lie is busted
JESUS CHRIST SAVES - For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life
im just wondering where should the go on the chest right below the neck or lower cause i always have the bar goin down pretty much right under neck and i feel like im doing it wrong
@SimonLoOoOV2 If you want to get a bigger chest do all three angles Incline, Decline, Regular. Along with the Bench Press, Chest Flys (All three Angles is the best, but is not needed) will really help with increasing the size of your chest.
@1stRoundPick100 thats great for your height and weight . 'im 5'10 and weigh 230lbs and bench 435lbs (raw) no shirt.. i can rep 225 lbs 38 times on a good day. I have a 70 inch reach. what people don't realize is that taller (lanky people) have a harder time with the lift due to the range of motion and leverage of the lift. bench isn't built over night it takes time.
@goatkiller68 'im definitely not a kid....95 lbs. cmon who is going to take that guy seriously.why not use a more respectable weight. it doesn't need to be huge but something more reasonable. when you can bench what i've benched. then you can call me an idiot.his technique isn't the best either. bench press is a compound exercise you should use more than chest and arms. ideally you should be working your triceps, chest, forearms, back,shoulders, abs,glutes and legs. thats key to a big bench.
i need help!! when i bench press what i do is: i place my self on the bench with feet flat on the floor, i try to 'tuck' my shoulder blades under before i place myself on the bench, but my problem is that when i do the movement slowly i don't actually feel my chest working, it feels as if my shoulders & arms are receiving the workload...why could this be? please help!
Hey check out my video and see if I have errors.. New to starting bench press and everything. I need to know how to do stuff better.. Please comment if you see errors on my technique... And tell me the proper technique. Thanks..
Ok, do not listen to this clown telling you to put the clamps in. YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO put the safety clamps in when you bench press. If something does happen and you cant get the weight up you need to tilt it to the side so the weights can fall off and you can live to bench another day. "Expert" my ass.
@Dmaan0601 Wrong. If the weight is too heavy and can't push it back up you push it forward at an angle towards your lower abs/upper hamstrings. At that spot it won't kill you.
From there you roll it off or lift it as you stand....Simple logic. You are far from an expert yourself though, my friend. :P
@13andincredeblycut Your fucking retarded. When you are benching heavy weight like say... 250+ it is dangerous to do what u are suggesting. I have had to do exactly what ur suggesting before and i can tell u it is much safer to just let the weights fall off the sides, you are not supposed to put clamps in when you dont have a spot dumbass. If u have a spot then by all means put clamps on if u want, but if ur benching alone ur not supposed to have them in.
@Dmaan0601 Heavy in your opinion only. You can't speak for any one else....To you 250lbs+ might be heavy, while others may be repping that like a toy.
@13andincredeblycut If it's a weight you can't push back up, you should have been smart enough to get a spotter who can help you force out a few repetitions so that you didn't just waste a set and you might actually get some chest work out of it.
Any one that has good knowledge on fitness please answer this, for an 18 yr old, 64kg, 5ft7, is a bench press of 60kg 5 reps a set any good for my size and age?
@niedoba thanks, any idea how long this will take and how much training it will require? I cant go above 60 at the mo because il just get trapped under the bar after a few reps.
@mrahman1992 how long id say u would have to do 3 days a week of 1 hour do ur 60 kgs fast on up very slow on down and also tense as u go up if ur doing curls same thing fast up down slow dumb bell same thing dont do it stand up u doing it with right hold it with u right left hand knee bring it to ur left side were ur heart is up fast down slow say 5 secounds 2 get down fasttest your allowd to come down is 3 and half this will work ur muscle if you need any help just messge me im happy to help.
@mrahman1992 it really depends on what u take like me atm im takeing a lean to get my muscle to show and it bost my enegey alot which means longer work outs which means batter and faster times off geting the results u want if u tell me whatu take i can help u with this
@niedoba Its called maximuscle cyclone, dont know if they do it in the u.s,basicaly it contains mainly protein 60g, creatine 10g, glutamine 10g per daily serving. Its supposed to make you gain weight though gaining muscle.
@mrahman1992 iv heard of it im in aus btw im pretty sure that is for mass from what iv heard its a mass supplement helps u to gain mass if i was u i would propley use it but then when u say hit 70 kgs i would get a lean supplemnt protean shake which helps u get the right stuff in ur body i would say it would give u bit more enegey or bost it alot considering what ur body is like and how it works not ever persons body is the same but i would say its for mass which is what u need
Yeah idiots. A bench press is a back lift heres a little something when you lay on the bench lift your shoulder blades by using your head, and pinch them together and lay on them. Bench is a full body lift your using back, legs, triceps pectoral muslces and shoulders. 2/3 of it is your back. Never lock your shoulders out, you lock out your shoulders because they are tired and your resting them after each stroke. Have your core engaged always. Keep your wrists straight don't bend them.
Generally, for bench press you want to lower the bar within an inch above or below the nipple line. Keep forearms near vertical as you lower, you can't if hards are too close together. The up movement should be faster, Done right, you should try to squeeze your pec muscles together during the last third part of life as you raise the bar.
How do you know you've reached 80% of your potential height? You can't know. A rough estimate is if you are within an inch of your tallest parent's height. The simple fact is IF you damage the growth plates in your leg bones they will prematurely start to harden and then your leg bones will stop growing and once that happens you can't get taller. MANY things can harm growth plates, not just weight training. A simple stumble can cause it. It is RARE but real. Is is NOT a myth.

I can't bench without wobbling. I just started to go to the gym a week ago but this is pissing me off. How embarassing I can't even lift straight without weights. I've looked at at least 20 different youtube vids I hope I can get the form down packed. Any tips for a beginner would be highly appreciated.

@lokrenzo : When benching to get ultimate power/form you need to arch your back.. try this by moving your feet backwords, so that your feet are behind your knee's and your bottom back is OFF the bench :)

I'm surprised to see how poor his technique is considering he's doing a video. FYI: I'm a former power lifter who's recorded several competition lifts of more than double my weight - no drugs. This guy leaves out several critical elements such as grip width and elbow & shoulder blade positioning. Which might not be such a big deal if he at least demonstrated he knew what he was doing.
MyCommunityGuide 8 months ago
He's wrong. For bench pressing, especially if you don't have a spotter, you SHOULD NOT use the clips. If your chest fails and the bar gets too heavy, it's better for you to dip the bar and let the weights fall off than have it fall on your neck.
gkt4 8 months ago
expertvillage sucks, and if you want tips for improvement or doing anything, steer away from all the information they give here. This guy doesn't even know how to do the presses properly himself, notice how when he's lifting, the bar is tilted, it's because he's not lifting with proper form. When you lift a lot of weight tilted like that, it's going to have a very negative effect on your overall technique, amount of weight / reps, and your muscle's symmetry.

this dude leaves out alot of info...look for better vids if your new to lifting they will show you proper way to bench with out jackin your shoulders up..never flare your elbows, narrow grip is better then wide and you should always stick your chest out and have a minor arch in your back to keep your shoulders inline

@goatkiller68 'im definitely not a kid....95 lbs. cmon who is going to take that guy seriously.why not use a more respectable weight. it doesn't need to be huge but something more reasonable. when you can bench what i've benched. then you can call me an idiot.his technique isn't the best either. bench press is a compound exercise you should use more than chest and arms. ideally you should be working your triceps, chest, forearms, back,shoulders, abs,glutes and legs. thats key to a big bench.

beastboy440 10 months ago
Ok, do not listen to this clown telling you to put the clamps in. YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO put the safety clamps in when you bench press. If something does happen and you cant get the weight up you need to tilt it to the side so the weights can fall off and you can live to bench another day. "Expert" my ass.
Dmaan0601 10 months ago
@Dmaan0601 Wrong. If the weight is too heavy and can't push it back up you push it forward at an angle towards your lower abs/upper hamstrings. At that spot it won't kill you.
From there you roll it off or lift it as you stand....Simple logic. You are far from an expert yourself though, my friend. :P
13andincredeblycut 10 months ago 12
@13andincredeblycut Your fucking retarded. When you are benching heavy weight like say... 250+ it is dangerous to do what u are suggesting. I have had to do exactly what ur suggesting before and i can tell u it is much safer to just let the weights fall off the sides, you are not supposed to put clamps in when you dont have a spot dumbass. If u have a spot then by all means put clamps on if u want, but if ur benching alone ur not supposed to have them in.
Dmaan0601 10 months ago
@Dmaan0601 Heavy in your opinion only. You can't speak for any one else....To you 250lbs+ might be heavy, while others may be repping that like a toy.

@13andincredeblycut If it's a weight you can't push back up, you should have been smart enough to get a spotter who can help you force out a few repetitions so that you didn't just waste a set and you might actually get some chest work out of it.

Yeah idiots. A bench press is a back lift heres a little something when you lay on the bench lift your shoulder blades by using your head, and pinch them together and lay on them. Bench is a full body lift your using back, legs, triceps pectoral muslces and shoulders. 2/3 of it is your back. Never lock your shoulders out, you lock out your shoulders because they are tired and your resting them after each stroke. Have your core engaged always. Keep your wrists straight don't bend them.
shanester94 11 months ago
Cont 1
Generally, for bench press you want to lower the bar within an inch above or below the nipple line. Keep forearms near vertical as you lower, you can't if hards are too close together. The up movement should be faster, Done right, you should try to squeeze your pec muscles together during the last third part of life as you raise the bar.

How do you know you've reached 80% of your potential height? You can't know. A rough estimate is if you are within an inch of your tallest parent's height. The simple fact is IF you damage the growth plates in your leg bones they will prematurely start to harden and then your leg bones will stop growing and once that happens you can't get taller. MANY things can harm growth plates, not just weight training. A simple stumble can cause it. It is RARE but real. Is is NOT a myth.
