Something the video didn't mention and I learned the hard way is to place the bar on the lower part of your chest when coming down. When I first started benching, I placed it at shoulder height and got a lot of shoulder injuries as a result.

@guidohlizzi06

is it the negative that works the biceps?

@DMxNemesis

If you bench press heavy you should be able to feel your biceps working HARD. Hence some top bench pressers have developed huge pipes without doing ANY "direct" arm workout, but just hitting the bench press hard.

No, it's not the same as doing curls, but again, this is NOT a biceps bodybuilding exercise. It's a Bench Press. And, same as the Squat and the Deadlift, it is meant to be heavy. And when you work heavy my friend, most of your muscles are coming in the lift.

@004spaw unlike stated in the video, it gets no direct stimulation. The video says it as if hes going curls or something

@DMxNemesis Get your facts right my ignorant friend. Firstly, I'm not talking, I'm writing. You're not listening, you're reading this comment. Please educate yourself.

How is it impossible if you say it uses as a dynamic stabilizer? Isn't that using your fricking biceps?

Godamn son!
