Hello Youtubers!
In today's video we have here the barbell bench press. In this video i demonstrate how to do the barbell bench press the correct way in order to generate the best muscle growth. It would be in your best interest to listen as there are many people out there today that are doing it wrong. Unless however you want to ruin your shoulders so that you can never bench again! The choice is yours :) Make sure to leave feedback and visit my channel page. Remember FITNESS can be such a WIZ

  • Please provide links to studies that show superior muscle development. According to the EKG results I've seen DB bench is best then BB bench. Or should we just take your word for it - you've developed such an impressive chest (that's sarcasm BTW)

  • @TheRealCartman1 Yes you are correct DB bench is better than BB bench. Please don't take my word for it. As i said in my previous comment. I simply ask you to observe someone who has put on a lot of weight while doing the barbell bench press. I can guarantee you that they will compensate on form just to get the bar up and down. I witness this time and time again the bar will go lopsided. How can a bar lopsided be good for even muscle development?

  • @WizFitness Simple, they are lifting too much weight, everyone needs to learn proper form first before using any weight. If the bar is lopsided or they are lifting their butt off the bench they need to lower the weight. A DB bench followed by the BB bench is the best way to gain muscle, people just need to learn to do it correctly. Using a smith machine is just a lazy way out for stupid people to do it and is in no way better.

    If you're going to teach then teach it correctly

  • @TheRealCartman1 Yes that is correct they do not have correct form. However 90% if not more do not know how to do barbell bench press correctly. For the 10% of people that do know how to do it correctly doing heavier weights is just putting more wear & tear on their shoulders. I am not doubting the effectiveness of this exercise it is a great mass builder. However why do an exercise that can cause an injury? This is just my opinion you don't have to listen. Check it out in your gym for yourself

  • I seriously think you should retire from teaching weighting. Spreading crappy information does no one good, most people just think you are a tool or dicking around.

  • @varun009 idd i read online about the smith machine, that if you was doing barbell with 20kg plate both sides adding to 60kg(with bar) you would have to put 30kg either side on smith machine to get the same

  • @WizFitness you do realize your only lifting about 100 lbs. and you make it look hard. second your talk about having perfect form, which is way hypocritical. you have no range of motion when your working your pecks you need to fully extend your arms and flex the pecks . and third, the main purpose of working out is to cause injury to your muscles. it'd be better to say an accident because you contradict the whole purpose of working out when you just say injury.

  • the smith machine is a piece of crap. you get no negative with it. do some real workouts you pussy.

  • you're a pussy. get this dumb shit off of the internet.

  • @WizFitness You seriously can't work it out for yourself? Push on an unloaded smith machine bar with one hand (offset). See what happens.

  • @jusgivmeafknusername Well the dumbbells you push with a more natural movement so its better. How do you push unevenly on the smiths? I am truly curious to find out.

  • @WizFitness thats true for any excercise, if you overload the weight your gonna fuck up form, so they should learn to control the weight first. but smith machines restrict the natural movemnt of the bench press, its not just a vertical movement. the strating position is closer to your lower pecs and when your arms are fully extended, the bar is closer to bieng above your neck. laydown and try the bench movement without the bar right now and youll see that. your gonna injur yourself

  • i dont even lift weights whos with me ?? ;)
