Novice is benching two plates? Better email exrx.net then to tell them their strength standards are wrong, i.e. too low. Because apparently as Dom said: the minimum for bench pressing is a plate. If you can't bench a plate, you shouldn't be bench pressing at all.
My good bench don’t come from benching. Matter of fact I don’t bench much. And when I do it’s really good and solid. I get my good bench from doing push-ups.

Omar, im from Brazil, and i am a great fan of your vídeos and your work. I have one question, i have an inbalance on my tríceps and biceps of both arms (also, the rest of my upper body), i right arm dont stretch at the 180° degree angle (maybe 170°) and my letf arm is good. My question is: in this case, what i need to do to correct this imbalance? Tks a Lot! Keep up the good work! Peace and eat your vegetebles
Im doing 2x inclune bb press and 1x benchpress per week. should i switch the incline bb with incline db ? what a the pros and cons for those excercizes
So quick random question but am I increasing the stress on my chest when i really think about squeezing my chest when i bench, rather than focusing on triceps for example. I feel the DOMS the next day in a different way when i keep a hard mind focus on my chest. Im just worried about popping my chest. But its a rational fear.
I think bench press is great up to a certain point, if you are maxing out at 300+ pounds it gets dangerous and isn't worth the injury risk in my opinion (I know from experience, never needed surgery but have had triceps tendonitis on both sides and messed up my left shoulder a few times, I just don't go heavy anymore and do 6-15 reps per set rather than 1-5 like I used to)

2. Barbell Shoulder Press grows your shoulders Triceps and Packs
This is an awesome and super helpful vid, Omar. Keep em coming !
heavy barbell bench give me issues(pain under my collar bone) dumbbell feels so much better on my chest and shoulders
I only add 10kg on my bench press in a year why my squats skyrocket by 30kg.. Is that normal?

I personally use dumbbells over bench press. I like the versatility.

Jason Blashit is lurking somewhere
Allan Thrall used the word “tertiary” So you had to use it too.
Yess omar is on his way to 7% 🤯✌
do floor press to hit the tri's
My bench has been 220 for 4 months now so fuck meeeee
you r da bomb! Killin it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I learnt science and shit
What about shoulders?
Can I swap the bech for close grip since I have a big chest but no triceps
You need to put together a series called “science and shit”
I'm benching very close to 2 plates but I don't feel the activation in my chest and bench feels awkward in many ways.
I noticed that my chest and triceps respond better to close grip then to wide grip.
Weighted dips allow greater overall loading capacity for a lot of people. I prefer dips over bench.
I'll Never stop but I can never get my legs back far I get cramp in my hamstrings when I do, maybe it's my age.

Weighted push up> Lay press(AKA bench press).
You are so good at explaining things
Bench is simply not essential. Only use it as an accessory for OHP
The gyms in my town is extremely expensive. I will buy a rack.

scenario 3: too much "anterior" shoulders?
I prefer to use dumbbell if I'm doing bench.
