HAHAHA, damn i actually saw that movie years ago too Vid
Define “good bench”?Lol... We on the same wavelength. Was about to offer bench instruction to the first 5 who need it.
So, anyone who wants to fix their shitty bench hit me up in this thread. First come first serve. 2 weeks of work. 3 days per week. If you have a good bench sit this out. If you are incapable of taking decent film in the gym this ain't for you.

I used to think I knew how. Almost 3 years since a pr. Kinda depressing.
What percentage of max are you guys shooting your vids? Can we all watch and learn?
I usually like to see above 80% to judge technique but for guys who are new to being coached I start with the bar anyway.

Well shit homie I wanna bench 5 plates! Why aren’t you guys posting up in here so we can all see and learn. Don’t be scared!I usually like to see above 80% to judge technique but for guys who are new to being coached I start with the bar anyway.
Well that’s no help to the rest of us!Probably best to be coached in private. I'm sure PoB can post something up on proper form at some point if he has time.
Since you asked the question to anybody, I’ll give you my answer. When I set up I pull my shoulder blades together as tight as possible and try to drive them into the bench. Then I throw an arch in my back (nothing ridiculous) and keep my chest high. When I lower the bar I try to keep my elbows tucked, touch my chest and drive it up with everything I’ve got. I know for sure I’m not getting the leg drive I should, I need to work on that. I’d like to follow along and see what pob does and pick up anything I can along the way.Just a question to anybody who benches.
When you extend(lift). Do your Tris do the work? Do you keep your chest pushed out? I've seen some people sink in their chest at the end of the extension (lift).

I bench pretty wide grip. Pinkey is on the ring.That sounds like shoulder grip though. I don't usually keep my elbows tucked in mid or wide grip.
For some reason I enjoy putting my feet on the bench. I almost want to bench on the floor. (Back issues) i get mat burn bruises on my back from the flat bench.
