I can probably hit 16 or 17 if I had adequate rest. The spotter didn't help at all, even though his hands are touching my arm. I have a really bad shoulder and it was just precaution. I should've went a little lower, but shoulder is again limited.
great video splmash
not to be a dick but, but a little tip keep your legs planted and still, you prob could of done 3 more reps, heels digging the floor and legs still

I know! I never noticed that habit until today. I never used to do that, and I'll have to be conscious about it from now on. Form is important to me and I would rather go down in weight than do a bad rep. Thanks for the heads up.
Oh and I hate how my legs look so pinner from that angle. And jiggly.
Another tip would to not drag the weight across your body, looks as though your pulling them up with your shoulders. Although it may not hurt or anything now; it'll effect your shoulders in the long run. Kick the weights up from your knee and roll back. And keep your head on the bench.

I'll post a video tonight.
Thanks for the tip. Anything under 100 I tend to get the weight up like that. For 100lb DBs and above, I swing my legs back to get it up. I'll keep it in mind though. Posted via RS Mobile
People probably know this already, but a friend showed me good way to get the db's up for flat bench. I find kicking the weights up with my knees doesn't work for me above 80lbs.
Put the weight on your knees and then keep your arms straight/even and tighten your core and bring your whole body back in one motion and your db's will be in the air above you. Reverse the motion for the putting the weights back down.
I know I am late but I did the squat challenge. 13 @ 135. Three more than I expected to do and I felt like I probably could've pushed out a couple more if I had a spotter
Most people have shit form when it comes to DB presses. They're just not used to the stabilizing the weight. I actually think most people on here will probably count those 2 inch bull shit reps.
How far do you guys go down. I saw a buncha guys going down half way to their chest
I go elbows to 90 degrees. When warming up with like 40's I'll stretch out by coming down until the weight actually touches my chest and hold it for 15 seconds between reps.
