How to Bench Press For Your Anatomy (Grip Width Finder)

Man, I have to do a whole engineering shit just to bench optimally.

pretty

🔥

I am really struggling with my bench at the moment. Can never feel planted and locked in position and the bar and my body is always moving about.

Wonderful

If i do that thats gonna be a too wide grip fpr me

I have the hots for Jen. Big time

Me squatting: 👹👹👹
Me benching: 🤓🤔💭🧐

More reason I always use dumbbells for bench press

this is really interesting, thank you

Does this apply to dumbbells too?

I don't get the last tip. Can someone explain?

Very inspiring and im glad i saw this as a good reminder to stay consistent

Super explanation

Should we follow the same distance for Incline Bench also?

Mines way over the limit for powerlifting🤣

Ye well the thing is, for guys( who would be a little wider on average) the optimal width might be outside the legal one (index on rings) so the widest possible is probably the best.
PS: this is the width most powerlifters choose

Knew I was doing it wrong, kept feeling a burn in my triceps every time as I had a grip too close together

Honestly this did not work for me. I actually by default had a 2x ish grip and it caused tendon pain and weakness. When I narrowed by grip but like an inch or 2 my power was so much higher

I just tried this tonight, outside clavicle measures 52 1/2cm, and when I transfer that to the bar, it’s so wide I can’t get my hands on the bar because the bench rack….. sooo back to pinky on the ring

shes hot

This even helped with my shoulder pain too!

Sternum to AC is 9" for me.
I'm 5'9"
This setup would put my hands against the inside frame of the rack.

I measured with inches lmao

I have tried all grips and have had sucess with all in getting stronger but the 21 inch grip I feel is best for me most of the time because I am able to get tighter and get more muscle involved and I am faster off the chest . But every time I have hit a 1 rep pr I usually go wider but I feel the 21 grip Is where I should stay most of the time .But I mess around with all grips and feel they are all useful.

For those who don’t know Jen is about 49 years old and can bench around 330 pounds at a body weight of 150. Raw.

that looks way too wide to me and you're asking for a pectoral tear or front delt injury

Jen can star as a Greek goddess with those delts💀

That red arrow on twisting the arm threw me off. I would have thought it would be in the opposite direction where you sink the pinkie INTO the bar (imagine a dumbell press where the dumbells aren't in line with each other)

Actually you want your forearms straight not out.

Damn this would be such a wide grip for me

You people are soooo sad

Hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha this is so funny

The real question what happened to Jen as a child!?!

It doesn't feel good for me ... perhaps my shoulder blade is weak🤔

Me thinks your overthinking it a bit.

Amazing

tell that to a newbie, he won't come the next day 😂

I have one of those “multi purpose work out machines “ and now I find out it’s not even possible to have the correct grip with this thing… to small

Squat U. Showing, once again, he isn't just about squatting.

Who the f… is going to measure the bar at the gym

Okay I'm definitely gripping too wide. 32cm clavicle and I grip the same as Jen!

Pov: you are looking for someone saying she is so beautiful

Does this work for pullups ?

Hello, Does this technique apply to those with both an anterior and posterior shoulder reconstructions?

Woman’s shoulders like a rulers link wth

Another way of expressing 1.5 times 😂

Does the same measurement technique work for push ups?

My clavicles are too wide. If I grip the way I should, my index finger goes beyond the rings.
