yo steve, much love my dude, my sons pic is on here so i am not 10, but dead ass, i appreciate you. Im 10 years military now at Penn State full time and I appreciate you showing the grind. Keep your shit up and killing it with clothing and everything.
I use to watch this channel 3 yrs ago, I got in real good shape. shit happens, gym closes and lose gains. I'm watching this because I started my come back today. if I don't watch these vids my motivation drops. thanks, tough 6 months ahead
Can never get enough information from Jake, he's the real deal! Functional strength is the way to go, we just need some mobility stretches/exercises to stay healthy.
I've been working a lot more on my chest as of recently (taking a lot of inspo from Whitney Simmon's chest day routines) and I cant wait to incorporate that position into my press to see if I feel it a little more. I mean I only use 10.. maybe 15 lb weights where I find myself struggling in my last few reps but i wasn't exactly feeling it on my chest. Hopefully that will make a difference *fingers crossed* Thanks for tips guys and much love from Miami!!
With regards to retracting your scapula on the flat bench I also find if you rack the bar slightly lower then where you usually have it you’re not over reaching when trying to unrack which leads to you having to slightly roll your shoulders forwards
Before I say anything I want you to know I'm not doggin or anything because I know the vanilla gorilla is a beast, but is there a reason why his but lifts off the bench every rep? Just wondered if it helps with exploding or sutin
steve my bench has been feeling solid and making progress but why is my incline db bench never making progress. I take progress overload and try to do more reps the next workout but i always get stuck around 6. Any suggestions?
Hey steve, big fan of yours!! I live in Shanghai bro, when are you coming to China? I speak mandarin, if you want to hit up some super good places to eat in Shanghai, I'd be glad to take you around see a few spots, and hit up some secret local spots I guarantee nobody knows about!!
Alright guys...I know we are trying to troll Steve with this cross-fit stuff but all jokes apart, this guy is one of the realest in the business. This video is a reminder.
Ryan Park think that could be just the difference between him tensing his glutes and not. If you look at someone like mattdoesfitness, he has the same lift but it's just him activating his glutes (not butt lift).
killkidnumberone Huh? You can leg drive without butt lifting (what all competing power lifters do), I was saying he might not actually be lifting his butt of the bench, just activating his glutes at the bottom of the lift which raises him up making it look like butt lift.
Why is RUclips so full of hate. They don't have to be perfect. They're pushing every day to be the best they can be and that's all that matters. You should know that if you're a real Steve cook fan. If you aren't a real Steve cook fan? Why are you watching the video? Why are you posting hate? If you're not a fan what's the point go make use of your time. Wake up! Focus on the shit that matters.
usually at crowded gym's, you either have to be creative or use alternatives because some equipment is taken. And this is something you could have figured out by yourself.

I prefer this type of steve cook videos, straight to the point small talk and showing workouts with proper techniques
I love when Jake explains things! we need more of that. I've always noticed Steve benches with his elbows out without any arch
Props to you Steve for being humble and always learning. Impressed with your work ethic and desire to be better!
Vanilla is the man! Keep him giving a couple of minutes to share his opinion. Huge asset to the channel
Absolutely loving the old school workouts. Missed these.

The real mvp is that guy on the smith machine while Steve is incline pressing
Wait why
Great Video Steve! When is the next Leg day video?Excited!!!!

Perfect Timing #SwoldierNation! All Day
5:00 also helps by keeping your shoulders out of the move by doing what the guy says. less shoulder injuries, keeps you from rolling your shoulder in

Wait a second... the Big programme is over £100 a month! Thats madness
Steve you need to try out the SlingShot. That should help with the elbows.
That video was pretty cool, and the workout too!
Great workout vid Steve. Norm.
Before I say anything I want you to know I'm not doggin or anything because I know the vanilla gorilla is a beast, but is there a reason why his but lifts off the bench every rep? Just wondered if it helps with exploding or sutin
02CheeseKid i do the same thing when i bench heavy. It helps me explode up
"I've been eating a lot." Define eating a lot haha @stevecook
steve my bench has been feeling solid and making progress but why is my incline db bench never making progress. I take progress overload and try to do more reps the next workout but i always get stuck around 6. Any suggestions?
Steve your so inspiring and informative
Do you recommend chest day for women? I do have a chest day but I'm not really sure if it worth it for women.
Steve Cook 4 President!
You let your friend show off at your channel. That's why we like you Stevie! BTW thanks Jake.
@ Steve cook please do the 1000 pull ups in 24 hours challenge
Thank you for the OG intro!
Why u playing dumbble row after inclined chest press?
Started filming at 12:34pm, the stars are in position

Bring back the old school swoldier nation outro music and you're set.
The old Swoldier Nation theme....goosebumps
And Jake....shifu master
What shoes are you wearing in this video Steve???
Alright guys...I know we are trying to troll Steve with this cross-fit stuff but all jokes apart, this guy is one of the realest in the business. This video is a reminder.
Jake must get his haircut every 6 hours cause god damn its always on point
I'm surprised you've been benching that long without pinching your scapula most people fuck their shoulders doing that
Surprised there aren't any comments or explanation for why VG has so much butt lift
Ryan Park think that could be just the difference between him tensing his glutes and not. If you look at someone like mattdoesfitness, he has the same lift but it's just him activating his glutes (not butt lift).
killkidnumberone Huh? You can leg drive without butt lifting (what all competing power lifters do), I was saying he might not actually be lifting his butt of the bench, just activating his glutes at the bottom of the lift which raises him up making it look like butt lift.
Ryan Park we all do it #fuckform
we? lol no. I guess it might not actually be butt lift but looks pretty suspect from that angle.
Ryan Park agreed, could be butt lift could be just tensing glutes really hard to tell.
Uh, steve why don't you leg drive? Or rather why is your leg drive minimal
How the f**k do you train to that music at 7:50
How many calories do you aim for a day?
Yo Steve, what are the shoes your wearing??
Finally a good bench form video these kidss in the gym need to stop flaring their elbows fcking up their shoulder
how are you going to get stronger going to failure every set?
Been watching you for over a year.. and just now wondering what 'Swoldier' means
Is it true that too much cardio can cause you to lose muscle?
Chris Gnay yes
Training chest/back together for mass just like i've always done😀😀😀😀👌👌 cooks got my back on this
the old intro! yes !!
With the Scapula thing: Just say - Push your Chest out! Done!!
old school swoldier nation intro!
Not to mention benching like that could easily put a lot of pressure on a rotator cuff
Great explanation
How many pounds bench press?
7:33 the guy benching behind steve was half-repping so much!
when and where is the meetup in china?
What song to 6:18 please ?
love your videos men💪
What shoes r those jake hav
Is this steve's gym?
name of song that plays at 40 seconds?
Why is RUclips so full of hate. They don't have to be perfect. They're pushing every day to be the best they can be and that's all that matters. You should know that if you're a real Steve cook fan.

Which city u r going to this time in china?
Man you need to come to INDIA!!!
India is eagerly waiting to meet you❤️
Go to Barbell Brigade gym or Super training gym.
Why metal plate but then you always add bumper or rubber plates?
i hate it 4r
NoSpillsChills makes you look like you're lifting more
NoSpillsChills because that what we had
NoSpillsChills it is confusing considering we saw actual bench presses with a bunch of 45s nearby lol
usually at crowded gym's, you either have to be creative or use alternatives because some equipment is taken.
And this is something you could have figured out by yourself.
Strong lift session
does steve still compete?
Damn they killed chest day... crazy strength.
I love the sound those dumbells make when they hit the floor 😍
how you traning chest and backe in the same moment how that is useful
Can you and the vanilla gorilla do a mobility video steve!! 💪🏼
Kyle Davies you'd love to see them bent over touching there toes huh gehboy!
NoSpillsChills who said anything about bending over? Must have been on your mind mate
LOL
Kyle Davies I
Fuzion180 n
Does his training partner have YT or IG?
Steve in my gym there's no decline chest machine...what should I use as alternative...pls reply this time
Silas Afari decline is a waste of time

Cody Blue nice buh..that doesn't answer my question
Silas Afari set shoulders back, flare elbows, do dips
Silas Afari was replying to the dude below saying decline is a waste of time.
Does jake have a RUclips channel
?
Can annoy plz tell me wat shoes jake hav on
Steve Cook looks like *older Version* of *Brett Lee* ....the Australian Fast Bowler.
Monty Chhabaria 😂
I'm shocked that Steve didn't know to retract the scapula when benching
Can we get a video of Jake teaching how to be mobile? His flexibility for his size is insane. lol
Nice to hear AC/DC in the background instead of that Pop stuff. Sink the Pink!
Does anyone know what kind of shoes VG is wearing?
Nike Men's Train Ultrafast Flyknit Training Shoes. This idiot^
I know your supposed to use leg drive but it would be more impressive if jakes as would stay on the bench but still badass
