tour de france is sneaking up reall soooon... prob wont post, don't wanna demotivate you new guys
my 2 cents, you should only be having big back archs and legs way back on bench if your going for HEAVY weight im talking 3plates+, anything lower should be flat and use heal drive
Cya at the top
I will save u a seat Posted via RS Mobile
when i say arch i should clairify. i dont mean force an arch. i dont do the foot tuck either.
i have my feet a little wider, feet directly under knees, and then squeeze the fuck out of everything from my ass up my back and drive my heels HARD into the floor. this ends up lifting my ass up about 1-2" above the bench but everything is super tight and locked. the key is to squeeze your ass, not push your hips.
rock solid all the time. and good enough for 305lbs so far
Actually Scott told me to push my legs further back. Felt uncomfortable but did the lift anyways. Worst mistake of my life. Posted via RS Mobile
This...
Not everyone is built the same. I tried Olympic style and just didn't feel comfortable and tweaked a knee.
Practice at weight you're comfortable squatting with and play with wider stance, narrow, low or high bar. But same things apply, push out core, drive from heels.
On another note, for the bench press, I read some articles saying lock and don't lock for joint/elbow issues. The theme is, don't lock...
But that makes no sense, because for Dips, you lock at the top. That's also theoretically putting a lot of strain on the elbow? Right?
I had this issue when I first started lifting. My lower back would round so much that I'd start to get severe pain while playing hockey, or staying on my feet too long. The squat is hard to perfect, but lower the weight till you get the form totally down.
I found that once I started doing low bar squats, it was easier to avoid having my lower back round.
It's not bad if you just started lifting, and it's definitely far from being "pretty beast." The guy you know sounds like a typical brolifter. That, or he has back issues.
jesus christ what the fucks your problem? I was just saying I had a beast workout with another member here.
just shut the fuck up already. It's not like I came in here bragging how much better I was than you.
anyways I posted a video of me benching 265 a few pages ago if anyone is curious how my form usually is

There are no principles, there are only events. There is no good and bad, there are only circumstances. The superior espouses events and circumstances in order to guide them.
Isn't completing each rep on the benchpress as fast as possible called the "speed bench?"
no, compound exercises should be done fast/explosive. if you arent explosive how are you going to accelerate through the lift? once you stop accelerating your lift is over.
time under tension is great IMO on assistant exercises not compound

i can't speak for bodybuilding personally...
but do you ever play a sport where you have to hold/move something in a slow, controlled manner?
almost every conventional sport is about moving the most amount of weight in the least amount in time and generating maximal velocity whether its throwing a ball or hitting someone
Going to try to get into this imaginary 1000lb club within this next month.
265 5RM bench
305 5RM squat
315 5RM deadlift
Ive tried 1rm for bench and squat before, but not deads

you definetly have a great point there... when you train for explosiveness you're really working on the type II fast twitch, which can produce the greatest amount of force in a shorter time...
time under tension, is just playing with semantics a lil bit... cus it's not like you're not under tension when you're doing the bench at a higher speed
in theory, the heavier you go, the slower you'll get, so working on explosiveness will help you with the drive to push the weight up so that you finish the rep entirely
