I wish I saw this before I fucked up my shoulder. This should be favorited by beginners all around. Still, although not at 100% benching like this has dramatically taken the pain out of benching.

got a ? should i arch my back when benching, stick my rib cage out. I been looking some people say yes and no.what u think.

[barthelfatness]

for me i just do whatever feels comfortable, which, in this case as well, usually ends up being correct and the safest form. ur almost better off just winging it and doing the movement comfortably rather than mimicking someone else's form, because they're usually wrong.

awesome vid. to the point as always with no b/s!

If you work your upper back and overhead press twice as often as you bench your shoulders should be feeling pretty good.

That is how I hurt my shoulders

He's just advocating good form on the bench press. The press is generally better for sports tho.

dumbbell press is great too. I prefer dumbbells for the stabilizing muscles, plus they're easier on the shoulders.
