#teamnocalves !!! Thanks man
Hey Omar you Should make a "keep calm and go Super saiyan" tshirt !
hey man, have a watch of ben pakulski's video on chest, differs to your opinion. interesting
How do I active my chest more with the bench press and withe other pressing movements?
GOD DAMN IT Omar……you have no idea how much I needed this dude. THANK YOU. I knew my form was fucked just wasn't sure where.
Retract your shoulders blade that's what I do.
Good looks man ima try this today
You can try pushing you hands together on the bar when you are benching
You my friend are strong!
Make the most of what you have my friend!
Have you heard about "Elite Muscle Formula?" (do a Google search for it) It is a quick and easy way to bulk up fast.
yeah but the chest, front delts and tri's all support internal rotation. wouldn't it make more sense to gradually flare the elbows out and let them press naturally as opposed to holding your elbows constantly at 45 degrees during the concentric phase? i totally agree with pulling them in as the bar goes down though, it would be nice to see your response! 🙂
wow thanks for tips, I was doing bench press incorrectly 2 consecutive years OMG.
that's why my progress was poor…
Help!! I'm not sure if I'm pinching my shoulderblades together when I bench. I just don't understand how to keep them pinched when I bench! Idk how it looks pinched vs not pinged what I do is stick my chest out and have a small arch in my back but I'm not sure if I'm pinching it!! If someone could show me how it's supposed to look vs how it doesn't look when not pinched that be great
ill give it a try
Ive also made a bench press tip video to increase the weight you bench. Come check it out and subscribe if you like.
You said we dont have to thank you but I will, thanks bruv 🙂 cos my shoulder was starting to hurt.
the bar almost looks like its in your middle ab?
solid advice, but what happens when your shoulder hurts when bench pressing with CORRECT FORM and doesn't hurt when i have my elbows slightly flared out ?
i don't know how i hurt them, but my shoulders hurt when i use the correct powerlifting form, with bigger emphasis on the triceps, but hurt less or not at all sometimes when i flare out my elbows or adopt a silghtly bigger than shoulder width grip on my bench press
Holy shit, I always focused on elbows out. And I was benching 275. I wonder if I can get 300 easy with this tip. Gonna try this on my next lifting day THANKS BRUH
The thing is those benching for bodybuilding are looking to target the pecs. I don't think these people are interested in increasing tri involvement.
This is a good cue, but may not be for everyone. The reason is because some people when they pull the bar apart, they will use more triceps. However, pulling the bar apart does nothing to really pull your elbows more towards your torso, which is what we're after, and actually people may actually flare their elbows more out using your described tip, even though they will for sure feel it more in their triceps. I recommend bending the bar like your'e trying to break a pencil instead, which will help engage the lats. However do not externally rotate your elbows.
In addition, if the person actually fix their touch point of the bar on their chest, they're already in a safer position. Just touch the bar on your lower pecs, and adjust your grip accordingly so that your forearms are perpendicular to the floor at the bottom position
Thing is, I feel my shoulders alot more using proper form other than when flared a bit out.
My front shoulder on my left arm KILLS only when I grab and take the barbell off the rack when bench pressing. Whilst I'm bench pressing its fine but when I take it off the rack it hurts a lot. why?
Just want to add this in. DO not use the smith machine. it will mess your shoulder up. just like a bad bench press form.
i understand the elbow flaring thing but lets see u keep them tucked in when doing an actual heavy weight for you, i watched a few of your heavier bench videos and your elbows looks like they're flaring to me .i have the the same issue when it comes to actual rep weight. im just trying to see you implement your advice 😉 but its hard to tell from ur camera angles on other videos
yo, when im bench pressing my front delts start to kill. It hurts like a bitch. I have well developed rear delts, so i don't know how to fix this.
I've noticed when i Bench press my shoulders and elbows hurt and i hear a popping cracking sound. how do i fix this,.?
I've been trying to build up strength for a while going for 5 reps per set on Bench Press. Now my right shoulder is giving me pain. Should I switch to a higher rep, lower weight sets, (as I do wanna get some of that Hypertrophy too)? Will making the switch lessen the pain in time?
Thanks bro!! This is by far the best technique i've came across to help fix my shoulder pain!! Appreciate it!!
your* bravado… lol
Nice tip. Thanks😎
Thanks dude i was wondering why my shoulder was hurting recently
is that a male or female?
dumbbell press feel better to me the bar is a injury
really good video thank you
Damn I've been doin it wrong
Thanks, great cue!
Okay to do band pull aparts in between sets?
Holy shit, I've legit have had problems with benching for like 2 years and knew I wasn't doing it correctly and I did so much research to try and fix my problem. Can't believe this simple ass trick is the trick, it actually works. I feel like a dumbass now haha
thanks man. My shoulder is killing atm and i'm going to try this. Oh yeah, get a hair cut. 🙂
Cool video, I have been benching about 17 years and have never heard of this, so can't wait to try it
Hey omar, this is the best video imo for bench press shoulder pain. You explain it very well on this video even tho its old as fuck. Thanks brudda!
