I don't do any of these mistakes because I've watched yours and isratael's videos. I'm only 3 months in and your videos and guides have helped alot! Thank you
@@Lightwave589 I never understood that, and hate when spotters do it to me. Why waste all that energy struggling to maybe get a rep? I can stimulate more hypertrophy by getting spotted through 3 or 4 more reps.
@@Scion15 you're saying you hate when spotters spot you how you're supposed to be spotted. it's on you to communicate to the spotter that you don't want to be conventionally spotted and you want them to help you with your reps. also going beyond 0 RIR does not stimulate more hypertrophy, you're just causing unnecessary muscle fatigue that you would need to take longer to recover from, you're not gaining more muscle going beyond 0 RIR lol. muscle hypertrophy stimulus is from involuntary slowing of muscle contraction and going 1-3 RIR is already achieving a very optimal muscle fatigue to muscle hypertrophy stimulus ratio.
the first one you got me but recently i started improving my ROM so i can say that now my bench press it's pretty decent. However huge shoutout to you big man that always motivates me to keep up the good work, and so i hope you'll continue to do.
Guilty to a degree of the 1st remark. I get 75~85% deep in as I feel the best resistance contracting back up, and on the 3rd remark - I definitely have felt "wrong" at times when I've pushed it way out. I definitely could tell when my forearms and elbows start being pulled down towards my legs 😅. Appreciate the refresher Jeff
@@liamlifts appreciate the support dude 🙌 I was over conscious of starting a bad habit of pushing with my chest I guess. And naturally now I lean towards dumbbells, and there I dip my elbows all the way down.
That's a form issue. Pack the lats, pack the scapula, protect your shoulders. If this puts too much strain on your shoulders, your elbows are probably flaring or you're not packing your lats and scaps.
@@FlarkusChunswen About the elbows, I don't have to do the entire bench with them closer to my body, right? Can I let them a little wider in order to obtain more range of motivon, or in this case it'll be using too much my shoulders?
@@FlarkusChunswen I actually cant bench without flaring a lot. Benching "normally" really hurts my shoulders always, which sucks because Im way stronger when Im tucked and shoulders arent so abducted. This also forces me obviously to bring the bar higher on my chest and thats essentially what helps relief any pain I might had.
Thanks man! Straightforward, quick, & informative! My form is always 50-50 bc of the pressing & I think I was pressing out a little bit bc I would hit my jhooks, thanks a million!
I'm surprised you didn't mention arching your back at all! Arching your back and putting your shoulder blades into retraction has a few upsides and downsides; Upside 1: You get a better stretch on the pecs, so more stimulus. Upside 2: You get more lat tension, thus more stability and ability to produce force and thus more stimulus. Upside 3: You put your shoulder into a "safer" position (which just means you can withstand comparatively more volume before an overuse injury), thus the potential for growth is higher. Downside 1: Downside 2: Downside 3:
Downside 1: Arching your back gives you a shorter range of motion and less stretch in the pecs, not more. Downside 2: Arching your back gives you more stretch in your shoulder joint.
@@Anonymous-sb9rr I think it depends on if you lift your chest a lot. I'd have to lift with you to understand properly, but maybe try (instead of lifting your chest/ arching your back) using your lats to stabilize your torso more while trying to keep your trunk fairly flat. Hopefully that gives a good idea? Again, would need to lift with you in order to properly workshop it, but good luck bro! Do what gives the most stimulus!
Man ... Lol. I can't say much cause I don't bench right now. I do all home work outs, lots of dumbbell presses. On day I'll go to a gym, I'm just strapped cause all my funds go to my kids, and my martial arts. Good stuff man, I appreciate all the tips.
Actually there’s a study shows that half-rep bench press actually help target chest and triceps more than full rage of motion keeping your muscles fully engaged without the potential resting on the chest.
I also concur. I use to make fun of people and then realized I was wrong. If your body building and size is the goal, those half range are a killer excersize.
Yes and iv seen some power lifter saying it prevents you from possible injuries. Full reps make my triceps tendon hurt so I switched to other chest exercises and surprisingly after half a year of from bench I did a new pr on bench when I tried it lmao...
How the hell are you doing your reps if you're getting enough rest in the bottom position for it to reduce your muscle engagement????? You should only lightly tap your skin, if your rib cage is supporting the bar at all, you've gone too far. Do you mean the bottom half of the motion? That would make sense because it's consistent with the studies about muscle grown from exerting force in a stretched position. But if you mean the top half of the rep then I call cap on the chest growth. That's basically isolating the tricep portion of the motion and eliminating any chest stretch.
@@xitaris5981 i didnt completely mean half reps but more of 3 quarter reps I would say. If I had to put an example. Some people take that thing you put on squat barbell that kinda pillow like thing that makes it less painful for your neck. And they put it on their chest when they do bench-press. That kinda reps im talking about. Its less painful for me to do those kind of reps because when i get completely to the bottom my triceps tendon is clicking and hurting afterwards. I exchanged bench press with dumbells and it was way more comfortable and less painful for me so... But when I do bench i dont do full reps anymore. I used to do bench-press for years but after that triceps tendon thingy I had to do the this kind of rep wariation.
@@Scientist287except they do and Dr mike himself says so. having proper form forces ur body to activate as many fibers in ur chest as possible since the stability and ur chest sticking out from the arch (which also reduces your injury but we know that) allows u to have a deeper stretch for ur chest as long as the arch is not overdone
I do dumbbell presses which sucks for overload progression but I feel also helps prevent the first two for me but I am guilty of the last one slightly 😂😂
This is why I love my smith machine bench. Makes form harder to mess up and has the backwards angle already. Plus, I can push myself much harder than a regular bench.
@@Rory626except it doesn't? he just said his smith machine is the type that tilts slightly to the back, meaning he can bring the barbell to his lower pecs and press to where his arms are vertical, and even if the smith machine was completely vertical, Jeff said it's okay to press vertically and not up and back like his smith machine allows
NAAAAHHH BRO THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO ME I SCORED A HONEST 0 it’s taken years of practice and knowledge to do so but this video is definitely for the younglings. God bless and keep lifting
Jeff please make another Tier-List Video (Shoulder, Glutes or Abs etc.). I really appreciated the last ones. My hole Trainingplan is based on those Tier Lists💪👍
Thanks for explaining about the spotting. Some guy asked me to spot him at the gym and didn’t say anything. I literally have no idea what to do so I’m just staring at the bar. Praying to God he doesn’t need me to touch it.
This is great advice for bodybuilding if you want to build a big chest and get it to be strong, but for power lifting the 4th tip would be leg drive, it improved my bench by 28kg in a little over 8 months
0 because you guys put out good info, and I could start with pretty good form from day 1. Full depth with control, no spotter because I am in a garage gym, and my bar path is either straight up and down, or a slight diagonal up.
Dude! I always do the third cue but I was convinced I was wrong because people always say you should keep your elbows in to your sides. The correct way feels best
For me, bench pressing with a barbell only brought me tons of problems, main ones being wrists instability and lack of pec stimulus... bench pressing with dumbbells though, are definitely my way to go in my chest days
I remember thinking bar paths has to be straight and "fixed" my bench by pressing forward just to find out not too long after I'm suppose to make it slightly overhead.😭
Ticked the rack thing. I think positioning myself in a good unracking and then benching position is literally my biggest issue with bench pressing. It's why I primarily do dumbells, hard to mess it up there
I benched without a spotter a couple weeks back, realized i was gonna lose it so i started yelling help, but nobody came 😭 i safely bailed and only my finger got crunched. Thankfully a dude that was approximately the size of a house came up and picked up the bar and offered to help if i needed it, i appreciate him being the only homie to come help while i nursed my hand
Watching this made me realize I def do the third thing when I do close grip bench. I make incline press (db, bb, smith machine) my main pressing movement because it feels better on my shoulders but i want to try and hit a flat movement, but i never knew why it felt more awkward than when I used to flat bench and now i know why lol
I dont make any of these mistakes. But that's probably cause when i found out i can learn how to lift from videos like yours i really made great strides
I’ve also learned to stop locking out on all my exercises to promote more growth and promote less joint pains(plz make a video validating this argument for me)

"And it's your responsability to tell them".
This is very important. Never blame the spotter.

They are there for stabilization and security, but it isn't cheating unlike the 3 points in the video.
By reading the title I believe you’ll also find that this video is about it mistakes, rather than tips
Aside from shoulder placement, those things don’t help you for hypertrophy, they help you lift heavier weight though

i used to bench on a smith machine and a little less than half way to my chest haha. now my form is perfect. benching 225 at 15
I just learned my middle school teacher taught me bench properly and i havent been spreading misinformation to others. This is a good day
I'm impressed with myself noticed that a pushed the bar out about 9 months ago, the improvement made improvements
I've definitely done #3 but it's usually only if I come down and back up too fast, never on purpose

I ALWAYS when I get fatigued subconsciously do the last one for at least 1 rep during the set on flat bench 😂😂
The bar path maybe loose and I'll improve it
Thanks for the correction
Tbh this made me feel better about my bench. I may only rep 205 but at least my form doing it is correct
I remember thinking bar paths has to be straight and "fixed" my bench by pressing forward just to find out not too long after I'm suppose to make it slightly overhead.😭
The third one was crazy useful because I was always confused about that.
Nope go all the way to your chest and your shoulder joints will dislocate eventually.
Just found out I’ve been doing leg press this whole time.
Sometimes I'll catch myself doing the third one, but I correct myself shortly after.
I'm glad I make up for my unimpressive bench weight with proper form 😉
