    Hey, i knew about his chanel about 10-12 years ago and this guy fascinated me with his style of lifting. I remember one thing i learned from him was that you can sit down in silence and keep yourself calm and relaxed before every lifting session. No pre-workout needed. After years of training i can see this kind of information starts to make more sense to me as i continue to benefit from lifiting. Trying to keep an open mind to everything and i can see for long term perfomance and health we all have a common ground ! Hello Juji, from Vietnam :-)

    Unfortunately, most of us spend too much time sitting with office jobs or sales jobs that require a lot of driving. I literally just tried the kneeling bent press with a 25lb plate and it was probably the best hip and lower back stretch I’ve ever done. I feel like 10 years of being hindered by tightness was released. I do yoga stretches and functional exercises but nothing compares to this. Thank you for introducing James to your channel. I sent this link to everyone that I could think of that will benefit. James is a badass!

  • @aubreygmcghee
    @aubreygmcghee Месяц назад +21

    I am not an expert but as I understand the bent press and have practiced it, the elbow and or upper arm rests on the side of your torso, lats and hips as you bend down under the weight and your upper arms should not come off of your side until your arm is fully extended and essentially the weight is supported by a straight arm.
    You're essentially resting the weight on your side, lats and hip until you shift under the weight and transfer the weight to your straight arm. You're basically bending down away from the weight while you straighten your arm and take over the weight on your straight arm.
    The weight is basically balanced on your side, lat and hip until it is transferred and then balanced on your straight arm.
    Many guys tend to try and press the weight but should never really "pressed". It's just balanced on your forearm off of your side, lat and hip until you can bend down far enough to straighten your arm under the weight.
    The sticking point is not really strength when you first learn it but the mobility of your shoulder to be able to keep you arm against your hip with your forearm straight up to keep the weight balanced on the side, lat and hip until you can bend down far enough for your arm to straighten without removing it from your side, lat and hip.
    Yes ultimately strength will determine how much you can lift with this move but mobility is the key to learning the lift. If you lack mobility in your shoulder you won't be able to keep it resting on your side until you can bend away from the weight far enough to fully straighten your arm. If you can't fully straighten the arm while resting your elbow on your side, lat and hip you will have to press the weight up rather than simply transfering the weight to a straight arm. This will mean that your pressing strength will limit how much you can lift in this move. You have to remember it's not really a strict press and at no point durung the lift are you pressing with a bent arm if it's done properly.
    Sorry for the lengthy reply but it's definitely one of the more complicated and misunderstood lifts and I see a lot of guys doing it wrong and trying to press the weight up with a bent arm press rather than a straight arm tranfer.

    If you squat down a bit more you'll avoid the half press. That seems to be the key difference between your form and his. He extends his arm by lowering his body, squatting to get the last bit of depth needed then stands up with it. This was a great video. I've been curious about this lift but never thought anyone would be using it in this day and age. Glad y'all are getting this out there for us to see.

    Love this, this reminds me so much of the turkish get up way of training, opposite to hypertrophy but still necessary. It is finding moving patterns and looking for the most efficient way to achieve the movement.
    It still uses your muscles and puts you in compromised situations and makes you resolve the situation.
    I think this translates great as a strength movement for grappling sports.

    My understanding of the bent press just got MUCH better. I have only attempted the lift a few (maybe up to 5) times, and I sucked at it. Now I know why - I got it ALL wrong.
    From what I see here, it reminds me a lot of the KB windmill, which I once was good at. I managed to that one with a 44 kg bell (~97 lbs). It was great for lover back. Then I got a bad hip, could not do it for a long time, and since I got an artificial hip, I have not had the guts to turn back to that exercise. ...... I need to do windmills again and/or practice the bent press.

    My dad's a potter. Does a couple dozen hand thrown pots a day, mixed and kneads all the clay by hand. He's got those same forearm muscle.
