Kick those bitches up, let the weight take you, and land your feet immediately.
Your form is lacking. Drop the weight 5-10lbs and lets see some solid reps. I personally find it a waste of time if I'm grinding every rep, its pointless. Kill each rep with good form. 5 solid reps no problem, then increase reps. Set a goal for reps, then increase weight.
And don't be afraid to toss the weights after the set. You're at Golds, I've been there for well over a year. No one will give a shit cause you have a ton of other people doing the same thing. Take advantage of those rubber dumbbbells. Finish the set, toss them in your zone, and take care of them after so they don't roll out on someone.
My two cents.
Good job though.

Yeah definetly man... I usually work with 100s when I do flat bench, and its rare that I actually do flat bench, lately its been incline for me...
This is just for the sake of the video haha, and like I said, you'll probably see me doing it with alot more control when I have the energy and focus.. its also why I don't use the hip tuck..
keep in mind I have repped out 120s for about 3 or 4 when I am properly rested...
I have to say though, I disagree with your point on kicking it up to start position, its how I've seen tons of people get shoulder dislocations/injuries and such, with a weight this heavy in comparison to my bodyweight, it'd be better to slowly bring it to starting point, I kick but everything is gradual.
thanks, great tips!
