One note from Dr. Mike Israetel on this: When pushing up the bar, your injury risk may be marginally increased by the act of SUDDENLY pushing the bar up really quickly. Meaning: you immediately push as hard and as fast as you can once you leave the bottom position. To mitigate that, Dr. Mike advises that you approach your bench press velocity like that of a train leaving the station - you leave the bottom position slowly, and quickly increase the pace as the bar travels up. Source: Dr. Mike's video critique on Mike Thurston, about 6:25 minutes in.
@@kapoioBCS Maybe you mean "this is stupid in this specific situation", just like he probably meant "this advice is a good starting point for general situations".

Big fan of the dust cloud when stomping the feet.
Should we lock out the elbows at the end of the push?
