These videos have helped me a lot – so much in fact I broke the divisional bench press record at my last comp(100kg at 63kg) and have hit a pb of 105kg recently!
Cheers.

Dave, what’s someone supposed to do if they lift in the USAPL where their feet must be flat?

I have a big arch but I remember a couple of years ago I was forcibly put into a position of maximum arch and my back was sore for 3 days it was worse than any deadlift workout lol, benching is not meant to be comfortable.

Like everyone else has said this series is the best out there. I have Starting Strengh and devoured it, I’ve researched this site and have been using Wendlers 5/3/1 with much success since December. However my bench sucks and hurts like hell usually, this has cured the problems so far. Yea I’m pulling muscles in my back but that’s only temporary until I get used to the setup. Been lifting for 5 yrs and tihs is the best my bench/shoulders have felt! Thanks for the vids and information. Keep them coming, please!!!!

PLEASE do one on the Shoulder Press! These videos have really let me gain a critical eye on my technique. Especially the elbow depth and tightening my back!

Another great video! I echo this series is the best bench press advice I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait for the next one.
