  • are you supposed to have all of your back on the bench??

  • @007Multimack Ensure your upper back is planted on the bench. Let your lower back have it's natural curve without forcing an arch or pushing it downwards. That's not its natural position. Keep your feet flat on the ground and have the back placed naturally on the bench. I've seen some guys who put too much weight on start lifting their hips off the bench as they are pushing. Its always a good idea to brace the abdominals which helps support the low back and pelvis.

  • i just hate when people BOUNCE it off their chest. So annoying

  • @KigerPWN Agreed! That's a nice way to cheat for guys. Not sure who they are trying to impress when they break something. The barbell should be lowered in a controlled manner for sure!

  • dude thank you! im 16 and you just saved my shoulders. and im gonna spread that tip to my friends so they dont screw up there arms to:)

  • @surdrumsa1ot No problem buddy. Make sure you subscribe to my channel. I have lots of instructional videos on there!

  • @churde It's called a Bench Press exercise. Ha. When watching the video you can determine what range is healthy for your shoulders. If you are short and can go to your chest then great, us taller guys need to find that natural spring to save our rotator cuff muscles.

    By all means do what you like, I'm just trying to save people's shoulders.

see all

  • there is a way to bring your arms 45% into and use your wings and triceps this way you can bring bar all the way down and u dont feel it on your shoulders.

  • @jefflindstromfitness THANK YOU!, lol

  • @jefflindstromfitness thank god ive i read this ive been working out for a while and im 5'8 with a wingspan of 6'2 so doing a chest bump is a strain on my tri and shoulders. People kept telling me that i had to do chestbumps but it never felt good so once i started lifting heave 230+ i stopped doing them ive been getting a bit upset that i wasnt doing chest bumps but knowing im saving my shoulders is all i need to know thank you
