This is by far the best, most informative video I've ever seen. Based on this information I have a strong chest and triceps but extremely weak anterior deltoids. I'm going to start doing some overhead press and watch my benchpress explode. 👍👍
Awesome! Thank you!
@@Criticalbench So most of my failures on benchpress happen in the 2nd half of the lift. I use a fairly wide grip and a moderate back arch when maxing out. If I have good bar speed out of the hole and failing at the top do you think I would be better off using a slightly closer grip? Next time I go heavy I'll video it and see if my sticking point changes when I use a closer grip. The first time I hit 265 (my max) I was using a thumb away grip and the 2nd time I maxed out I matched 265 but I couldnt break it and I had my middle finger around the rings. I have pretty long arms which made me think that wide grip would be better but now that I've done it for a while I'm thinking about going slightly closer for a while to target different muscles.
It seems like I have more leverage when I use a closer grip with alot of arch rather than a wide grip with moderate arch even though the range of motion is about the same.
First of all very informative. I actually have the third problem you mentioned, essentially on the last sets of benchpress on the last reps, I rerack the bar with not fully extended hands. Its like i have completed the rep, but not fully. I belive, it has to do with me almost ignoring tricep training for a year.
You made it very easy to understand on what i need to work on for my sticking point. Great video
Great to hear! We can't wait for you to try it!
@@Criticalbench I'm stuck at 280 bench press plataeu. I can't get past it no matter what I do.
Great video sticking bottom weak chest sticking halfway weak anterior delt sticking top weak long head tricep
Good stuff
I usually have issues with the middle of my bench as a sticking point and I never do direct shoulder pressing, maybe time to start...
Ben Jake has it helped any?
I'm the same way and I need to know If the shoulder presses are working because I'm going to use them for the next 3 - 4 weeks as an accessory lift and then max out at the end of the 4th week and see if they helped.
@@5.7hemi79 hahaha might be 1 year late but did it help?
@@wolf-co9vl Yes. I've noticed any direct Chest, shoulder, and upper back work has correlation to the bench but Triceps are the most important. Variations are key.
@@5.7hemi79 thanks for responding🙂
Very informative. Thank you!
If I can get past the sticky point I would be far beyond my limits. Okay gonna watch now... Okay so I know what my problem is now... 5:30 I get stuck there all the time --- I even felt weak in my shoulders -- Gonna put more work into this. Thanks
Love your enthusiasm
@@Criticalbench So I was at the gym today and i can't believe how weak I am in this workout. I can only do 5 reps of 6 sets at 95 pounds 45 for the bar and 25 pounds on each side = 95... Damn I have a long way to go this winter, but I can tell this is worth it. Maybe im having a hard to with this as my body is confused and needs time to adjust to the motion of the workout then ill be able to add more to the bar once I get the feel for it down to a tee.
thanks ..great advice.

Thats what we're saying! 💪
Awesome tips I recently been stuck in the mid-range halfway point
Utilize bands to aid you through that range of motion
Good info
Thanks!
Great infor. Im sure u probably coverwd this and i missed it, but how do u work on staying tight on the descending of the weight? As the weight gets heavier mid way down i lose control and it jus crushes me. What do i need to work on to fix that?
Lmao after 3 years of my chest being the sticking point I failed a bench press due to my tricep lockout. I guess I did something right. xD
So if stuck at the bottom do everything including pauses and explosive pushes. Well, I am stuck at the bottom because I cannot do explosive pushes. An explosive push wastes energy. You need to lift not explode up. Not lifting off the bottom is called triceps failure to many lifters.
Launching up with your legs for an overhead press is not overhead press and means your arms cannot handle the weight.
