Wonder what blaha would say about this.
What’s the point of having your feet up
6 years in and im still learning basic shit. Too much fucking information. Lol thanks Omar. Maybe this will take me past my last plateau.
The correct link to Omar's recommended article- https://www.strongerbyscience.com/speed-kills-2x-the-intended-bar-speed-yields-2x-the-bench-press-gains/
In area of expertise(vertical jump) we call lifting the bar as fast as possible "intent" and is very important for bridging the gap between strength and speed, using lighter weights but moving them as fast as possible is still extremely hard
I thought slower bring in more strength. welp
benching with feet off the floor….instant shite form
Wrong link Patrick this is not mayonnaise
1 second up 3 seconds down – Arnold Schwarzenegger
Frank Yong was right all along
Hey Oh maurice off
Thank you for being my spirit animal @omarisuf (my name is Omar too) #omarsunite
What Jason Blaha has been saying for years yet he gets so much shit lol
This is why 1RMs, 3RMs & 5RMs feels like cheat reps or partial ROM
I've been doing this for squats, bug strength gain utilizing velocity.
work / time = power
If your mobility or flexibility is not ready, speeds your bar will causes some injuries. Though, i saw old video that dmirtri once talk a principle that explosive speep when he lifts the bar as fast as possiple will make huge significen. One more thing, i saw kenedy clarence squats 200kg faster than i air squat
I’ve never seen anybody w more speed than Larry Wheels!So it seems as the weights get heavier he gets faster!
So basically Sonic
Stay natural stay strong brother!
I like slower but heavy reps to keep the muscles contracted. I'd only Speed it up with lighter weights just for an energy push/rush
Bro I swear you sound and look like the younger version of CRP

Just from my personal experience: I started seeing significant strength gains when doing reps as fast as I could without giving up control of the bar.
Rep speed is indirectly proportional to set difficulty. How do you simultaneously hold the belief that sets need to be taken close to failure to be productive and that reps need to be fast to illicit maximal strength gains?
This is true actually i did pr 300 on bench yesterday and it was easy af i think its all because my warm ups were explosive so for example when i warmed up with a bar i controlled it down to my chest and pressed that bar like i wanna break wall above me but my scapula was retracted and i was tight so explosive reps but slow on negative not really slow but just cotrolled and when bar touches chest you go up as fast as possible
Power = Force x Velocity. It’s simple science
Can you explain how to prevent the elbows from going lower than the bench in the bp?
loved the end: "eat your fucking vegetables!"
No better source of nutrients and protein yet people keep consuming dairy
Ofcourse, if you are holding back on bar speed when lifting heavy, you ain’t even pushing yourself. You could easily go heavier.
Some physics; F=ma. Force=mass*acceleration.
If you can accelerate your bar more(bar speed), you could instead use the same bar speed as before but with a greater mass(weight) on it
Can you do a video on creatine? Why should someone take it and what exactly does it do?
Hey Omar, why do you put you feet on the bench whilst pressing?
I love that Omar doesn't do the over the top back arch with bench all the time.
If your using a working weight thats challenging to you wont your bar speed be slow by default?
Fake tips…
What about speed about lowering the barbell? Is slower better
Great video but why do some people think that a no leg drive bench press is not a proper way to bench?
Just take some steroids you look like shit
You have more strength from fat than from muscle don't you
Need more fart mouth noises, not gunna lie.
Also, great content…as usual.
I watched this video at 2x speed for optimal knowledge gains
Instructions unclear. Took speed before benching.
Nobody gunna mention the dumbbells not racked properly behind him? M'kay
So true! We have an entire training day dedicated to working on the speed of the bar. On Bench day we have : band presses, upload presses and t-shirt presses all designed to work in the throw. Great video. Love Greg Nukols!

Yo Omar. Do you ever focus on singles or 5Ă—5 for rows or chins? Should you? Could do a video about this subject. How to train back and make progress in general. Should I do 5×5 for calf raises?
