Omar, I've followed you for years now and I love how your channel has advanced and grown. Your channel is a clear reflection of your knowledge and how that has advanced overtime. It's great how you don't just upload the same old generic vlogs like most you tubers.
P.s Greg is a fuckin G bruh!
Great video!
I can build a solid Hard-On with proper hand drive. I stay shredded like butt lettuce!
PROPER LEG DRAHVE
I was wondering if anyone could help me, I go to the gym three times a week and have been for the last few months, Whilst working out my muscles ache like hell and I feel like I can't lift any more. I leave the gym and go home but an hour or two later I feel fine again, I was just wondering does this mean I'm not working hard enough at the gym or am I doing something wrong when I get home. Really need the advice thank you.
No disrespect but that dude does not look like he lifts
Geeze, what's with all the hating on Greg's weight. Â Come on guys, these are good videos. xD
Soo… If you're really tall… what do you do? :p
Holy crap Greg is a powerlifter and I highly doubt he cares if people think he is fat or whether people think he lifts. Â Enough with the "he's fat" or "he's just bouncing the weight up". Try bouncing the weight up with 455 and let me know how that goes.
Personally, I think the whole depressing the chest with the bar and then puffing it out as part of leg drive is literally using your body as a preloaded spring, which is a crucial part of any lift (aside from the deadlift or other movements where you don't get to utilize that elastic tension), but I feel it's kind of to the point of cheating the weight up. It's not part of the stretch reflex, it's not pre-loading the actual muscles involved with moving the weight, you're releasing the arch temporarily and then explosively using the upper back muscles to recreate that arch and launch the weight off your chest not only putting the bar into a better position, but more importantly, giving it momentum it shouldn't have before the pressing starts. That's just my opinion.
Love greg so much. wanna kiss him right on the lips
I actually want to give a piece of advice with this. I was someone that did not understand leg drive at all, and mentally it just did not flow for me since I learned to bench with no leg drive. So, what I did was to make a conscious effort to just use my legs to squeeze the actual bench every time I pressed. Even though it is not really the correct method of leg drive, it helped me synchronize and make the connections between utilizing my legs and pressing the weight, and taught me to keep my legs tight and on the floor. After this pattern felt natural, I actually worked out the technicalities and correct leg drive came much more easily for me.
Omar, you have bicep veins. When the hell did this happen? What the hell.
Noob question: Should I use leg drive, when doing close grip bench for triceps?
But uhhhh that piece was not so much referring to peace, the uhhhh abstract noun, but more referring to a piece for meat like say…… No homo though
@revanmalice you forgot to say no homo.
That guy looks like he has never lifted in his life, but damn he's strong
Dear Omar,
   You are fucken HUGEÂ
     Especially in those Tees
Man I can barely lift the bar alone, so much way to go.
I think leg drive is more for powerlifting than bodybuilding… Thoughts??
Omar's new boyfriend …
I thought it was AL off home improvement
I respect Greg a lot but i dont quite agree with what he's saying….
Surely, the positioning approach is what comes with the leg drive movement and may fairly be used … But what i would have liked to hear more about is the aspect of the kinetic chain that gets added to, when bringing force to the ground, much like in the over head press, even tho the bench press may have never been intended to involve that movement.
So i think its not just about positioning but also to a great degree "expanding" the kinetic chain. I personally dont push the bar into a better position by using the leg drive or at least not to the extend that greg does but i definitely get a whole lot more power out of pushing down into the floor than not doing it, so i think there's definitely something to the kinetic chain expansion, even tho i cant recall any data on that subject, which would be pretty interesting actually to investigate.
I'm currently at 350 on the bench which is alright, even tho, i probably infact would bench more if i used leg drive more in a way Greg does it… So i'm not stating that what he's saying is incorrect but rather incomplete, because the effect of the leg drive in a kinetic chain sense definitely is also noticeable in the lock out, not just right above the sternum for example.
i love that dude  greg, he is classic "don't judge a book by its cover", he looks like just some dude but he's strong as an ox. great vid
Being able to say you bench 455 is cool,But when you don't look like you Lift at all what's the point?
Bigger belly = bigger bench
if i had a dollar for everytime i watched a video on leg drive id be a millionaire.
Novice at this, so thanks for showing examples on what leg presses are. Love the vids, learning alot.
My problem is at the top.
the barbell bounce off his fat chest like he was wearing a slingshot. doesnt count
greg needs to lose 50 lbs
one tip I got for leg drive was to imagine doing a leg extension
What would be some good tips to use leg drive for a bench that is set a few inches lower than most benches? One gym I go to has a normal bench and I have good leg drive. Then when I go to a different place where the seated bench is set lower it seems harder to have leg drive without my lower body coming off the bench.
So where does he recommend feet position for taller lifters?
So where are tall guys supposed to put our feet?
I feel like I accidentally had proper bench form once. I felt like I was just throwing the weight up effortlessly… everything just felt solid and smooth. But by the very next set I completely lost it and went back to my shitty bench form.
Been twisting and contorting my body in all different positions ever since trying to replicate it. But on I havent really focused on leg drive, perhaps this is the puzzle piece ive been missing.
Worst explanation ive seen on leg drive,,This guy ,,doesn't really know himself,,,
wow dude strong as shit an he dont even look like he lift. im almost the same weight an im struggling with a 275 bench. can you offer any helpful tips on what i could b doing wrong or what i need to do to get better/stronger, cuz my bench sucks for my height an weight. id like to join the 300+ club. thanks.
good video……learned a lotttt
2:40 – you don't want your butt coming off the bitch
This is the only description of leg-drive that i have ever been able to make any sense of. Excellent information.

This guy didn't do a good job of explaining how a lifter with long legs can use leg drive
How is a fat man gonna tel me how to get a bigger chest. I think leg drive is only good for competition. But to build muscle , i don’t lose leg drive or any of that. I barely arch my back too. Focus on your chest. If you see most people that preach leg drive and all that, there fat powerlifters.
