Omar, how'd you injury your shoulder?Â
disturbing lat movements at 1:45
Omar you keep lifting your head off the bench in your vids. Couch told you not to do it in an earlier video but you still have not fixed it after all this time… not even addressing it in a video where you try to improve technique to lift more. Come on …
You said you switched to a more narrow grip because of your shoulder. Arn't you worried that you're just going to end up back where you started with the shoulder pain now that you're going back to the wider grip?
Hey omar its been about a month, i ordered something from your store and my order is #8381 and I was wondering whats happening with the order?
Hey Omar could you possibly do
a video or response to know the difference between hips rising to early or using hip thrust/drive in a squat. Would really appreciate it 🙂
ur body look natural man,human like vasularity…not like those other blokes using roids…
Killing the bench as always. Pls Omar, turn yourself into jail.
You're doing it the proper way Omar!
I'm glad to see that you're well informed on this topic, and not ignorant like many others.
I know this is irrelevant, but please bring back that stringer for a second run!
How do u know if you are chest dominant vs arm dominant?
Anyone have mild pec major tear advice? Tear is only about 1/2" by 1/4" surface area near my breast bone on the right side. Small enough it only hurts when attempting to use or actively support my right arm.
Tore it coughing. Made the mistake of not giving my chest enough recovery. Hitting it 4x a day with 4-6 sets (not including 3 warmup sets each time) of I'd say about 75% intensity – very high volume for me. Thanks in adv. if anyone has anything. I figure 2 weeks off should be ok to hit light weights again.
Omar, I also notice a flaring of my elbows when it gets a little heavier. I feel like I'm bleeding a lot of power. I'm 6'4 and my pinky is on the rings. I fear that if I go any further I would have trouble keeping my scapula retracted. I tried the mental cue where you pretend like you're separating/bending the bar, but it really didn't help. Any tips?
Omar!!!! The orange creatine shirts?! You gonna get more in stock? Need a couple of those bro!!!
Have you ever made a video on identifying problems? I might be fucked but I don't know how to diagnose my bench problem. I've been stuck at 225 for about a year now and if anything I've gained maybe a few reps but never got over 5. I tried what you did, changing the grip, and also changing the point where I bring it down (normally around my nipples; I tried both higher and lower). Help me Omar… before I switch to the smith machine like a pussay.
Hey Omar, do you ever do any bar path analysis of your lifts, or do you think it's not necessary?

Interesting I have the opposite problem. I had problems with the lockout with a closer grip, now I can lockout much easier with a wide grip but lowering and pauzing is a lot more difficult now…
some solid gains have been sightedÂ
Your content has been incredible recently Omar! Keep it up
And this is why I love watching stuff like this. Took 3 days off, went back to bench and I did horrible. My elbows were flaring out too, thanks Omar
i huv never lifted ever in my lief… how do i get like omar without steroids??? i dont want someone to tell me to train hard and blah blah blah i want a quick whey to get huge
Yeah bro I automatically saw your old technique where it was not going down in s straight line. Good call on that technique. upgrade. I maxed out at 340 for 2 reps a few months ago trying this leg drive. Keep it up man you're the best!
@omarisuf do you think one should focus on one compound to be strong at such as bench, DL, squat, etc or should we try to be as strong as possible on all of them? I noticed some power lifters seem to focus on bench, others squats, others DL. I dont think I ever saw one who is beast at every single one. What do you think?
omar, are you gonna restock on some of your shirts?
Bench question for a complete beginner. I've seen a lot of people say to touch your chest. Then other people say that your elbows shouldn't go past 90 degrees. What's what on this? I'm nearly 6'4" and for me to touch chest my elbows would be way down below the bench. On a rough measurement my chest cavity is only 8.5 inches in depth. That being said, while simulating a perfect 90 degree hold on the floor flat on my back, my grip hold is at 15 inches. So I'm between 6-7 inches off my chest if I'm to stay at 90 degrees. Anyone have some thoughts on this??
amazig bench press rack
im chest heavy as you are, but gripping wider and pressing higher up on my chest puts a lot of strain on my shoulder. are you not the same?
this is so stupid at least to me when ur high cause he doesnt press up with his heels. he probably is some roid head that seduces wimpy teenage kids to his videos and say things that don't even matterÂ
I want those Adidas Powerlifting Shoes but their expensiv as f*ck!
Hey Omar, could you make a video on bench press grip?
Like standard grip vs suicide grip.
My older brother insists suicide grip gives him more power. It scares the shit out of me though because he's a goof and it looks dangerous.
Thanks! (Oh and I've seen a physiotherapist do a reverse grip on the bench press. I thought it looked silly).
i dont even know how this wuss puss has so many subscribers. whats the point of watching someone this weaker and trying to learn something.
I MUCH prefer the deadlift to the bench press.
I took a Wider Grip on the bench press too. Felt amazing, I had so much more power.Â
If nothing else, that bench is sick. Â I like how you can position the weight right over you (like having a spotter) before you lift off.
left tiddy erecting a notch higher than right tiddy
Omar, I have the same issue with elbow flaring out on the ascent. I also have a narrow grip due to my surgically repaired rotator cuff… I've tried to widen my grip and that's too much pressure on the repaired area. Any advice? I'm thinking about using the slingshot to teach myself to keep the elbows tucked…
nice bench!Â
Did you know your left pec is slightly bigger than your right pec?
