    good videos man you identified my problems

  • MikeoWar says:

    Good form, but in my opinion you should have a wider grip when doing benchpress, otherwise you should mention that what you’re doing is in fact some sort of narrow grip benchpress. When you have a wider grip, your weights goes up. I’ve never met anyone that handles more weight in narrow grip benchpress than wide grip benchpress.

    Wow i’ve been doin that wrong for a while now

  • montclair1989 says:

    @ThatArabGuy its better to have perfect technique then to do it incorrectly with more. thats how you injure yourself and i dont think you want that on your mind while lifting.

  • aofnyc says:

    Is there a difference if I use vertical handgrip or nuetral handgrip while doing dumbell press?

  • TheDeathsRequiem says:

    @az09983 You would have to take a few variables into account.
    Like, how often do you work-out? Do you take supplements? What is your diet? etc.

  • shauno333 says:

    My shoulders don’t feel the strain any more. Great vid. Now, do one just as good on nutrition. I’m trying to bulk up but can’t find a meal plan that works for me. Any tips?

  • wubs23 says:

    wow.. apparently i always did these wrong.. i was already wondering why it mainly worked that area you circled… now i know!

  • neverhoodyn says:

    Also, it’s hard to see exactly where the barbell should hit with a shirt on. How close to the nipples should the barbell hit the chest?

  • neverhoodyn says:

    Good video. However, i thought when doing dumbell press the dumbells should touch at the top creating an A shape?

  • Powerliftershawnr says:

    @Sciunisonfitness Yeah if proper form is done you can bench 700 + lbs almost every week with no shoulder pain.. even my light days I spend in the 350 to 550 range. I have no shoulder pain even with the massive weights lifted and I bench twice a week. Let me know If I can be of any help my friend!

  • Sciunisonfitness says:

    @Powerliftershawnr I will def check out your channel. And I learned this from powerlifters at my gym. Although we live in two different world and lift in very different styles, this technique and form changed alot for me….bigger pecs, and less shoulder strain

  • Powerliftershawnr says:

  • lobzdik says:

  • h3e44 says:

    @Cannabisvorous aint that the truth

  • Htown20XX says:

    I I don’t understand why you let the bar go backwards as it goes up. I just make it go straight up and down less distance
