How to PROPERLY Bench Press for Growth (5 Easy Steps)

I have bad shoulders and I have found that a slight 2 or 3 inch incline under your shoulder area stops a lot of that shoulder impingement pain. Just my 2 cents.

Really good cues that will help me with my own benching & teach my clients! Nice work 💪🔥

the best :)

Thank you. Your form videos explain how to angle exercises with the bones, joints and muscle fibers for a safer workout. Thank you again.

I JUST CANNOT GET THE BAR PATH 😅 Irritates the crap out of me

This is the best instruction video for a novice like me. I stopped having shoulder pain and increased the weight by 15kgs in just two weeks thanks to this video. Thank you!

I started feeling my chest during workouts in 7 months of benching for the first time after watching this video. Thanks man!

Thanks, proper form is everything. Benching heavy you can really get lost in your own head so its nice to actually hear these steps aloud.

Great video

The grip width part is really helpful. I've got some weird hypermobility thing going on, making it really easy for my shoulders to dislocate. It's especially bad on my left side, ever since I slammed it into the ground lowsiding on my dirtbike. Been struggling to find a good grip width where it doensn't feel like my shoulders are about to give out, but will give this a try for sure!

Thanks!

thats stupid af saying a guillotine press will give no chest gains when it literally isolates the chest more ffs

The Dip is the GOAT of upper body exercises

I speak from experience. Maxing out has only a percentage in the upper body. Your spinal chord is what your core strength is. If you have a strong upper body but still have problems with your lumbar disks, you won't be able to lift the same weights as when you were in high school. Sad, but true

Your instructions for arching the back are a recipe for lower back and spine injuries.

As a beginner, I find the hardest to keep the shoulders not rounded when pushing the bar back up. The explanation where you shared of not really dropping the bar down but like pulling the bar out will really help.

I don’t need to flex benching heavier weights as I’d rather do it correctly with proper form.

Im too short to reach the floor when I use my bench. What do I do?

Curious about how much of this I can apply on a smith machine. I only have access to a planet fitness... hmmm

The most progress you will get is from retracted scapula, arch in back like a bow and arrow, and hit below the nipples. Bench press is a get it done exercise, not a mind muscle stretch/contraction.

i used this video to help me when i started barbell benching a month and half ago. went from being able to bench one plate for a few reps to almost being able to bench 2 plates 1 rep. i think one or two more weeks of chest exercise and i can make a 225 bench.

The cure to rotator cuffs, like many here, most likely descending wrong so gonna give it another go in a few days 😎

if you go wider in the bench it will focus more on your mid chest '

Don't do bar. Dumbles only.

This guy keeps telling us do this do that to get bigger and showing his perfect technics that's suits him 😁but somehow he is not even big or ripped 🤣

Very nice animation

incorrect bar path fucked up my left shoulder now it hurts when i do anything chest related since almost all excercises require shoulders in some way

Please tell what's more effective Bench Bar press or Bench Dumbell press?? Please reply sir!.

Thank you 😊

Why does my back cramp up while doing bench?? How to fix

Who’d be foolish enough to do the suicide grip. Lol that doesn’t even feel safe or natural

you shoud probebly work on your bench 95 pounds aint much buddy, doesnt gick you that much ethos bro

I need focus

As a filmmaker and gym novice, I have the highest respect for the clarity and quality of presentation here

If your using smith machine u cant line it up with your eyes...u gotto slide more under to get it lined up with ur ur chest..?

Wow, this instructional demo sets it right for me. Thanks.

Great tutorial! Thanks Jeremy!

Good 👍

Is it normal to be shaky sometimes unbalanced when doing this as a beginner?

thanks man

Thanks so much bro 🙏

I've been taking a lot of breaks from bench as various events kept happening which ment i didn't have time to bench regularly. Noticed over the last few months my forms become hella sketchy and i was doing the let gravity do all the effort and try not to drop it on my chest technique 😅

Thanks to you I'm getting proper form back again. I've had to drop to some lower weights to try recover my muscle memory, but glad to feel confident in my form now. Given a few weeks a should be up to a similar level i was before all the breaks, and i should be able to keep improving, so thanks a bunch

Hands down best bench press tutorial on the internet

Nice video think it would help me soo much.

For step 4 I've found that it is to unrealistic to focus on squeezing back muscles, touching chest at a certain spot, and maintaining elbows at 45 degrees all at once. Proper elbow position will dictate how the movement goes, so focus solely on the elbows on the descent and allow the bar to tip slightly forward to prevent complete elbow flare.

Thanks for the info

Yoo.. I could become a biology professor with this explanation.
Great video! Thanks

Boah, wie kompliziert ist da alles denn?

That first pic in thumbnail is an accident waiting to happen.
From the get go we were taught to hit the tit.
