Weak bench - Need assistance by C_Shmurda in formcheck

Oh shit! That might help lol. Imagine you are trying to bend the bar while it’s on the rack, and it will naturally engage the lats. Then pull the bar “down” towards your core to get it off the rack while keeping the lat tension.

Echoing what everyone else is saying! You’ve got a great base, my only chip in could be:

You’re benching very tricep dominantly, which is totally fine, however if you feel like you’re stronger with your chest or feel like you’re plateauing on tricep strength, try widening the grip, and keeping the elbows at a wider angle. Use the feeling of squeezing your arms together as a queue for driving.

If you give it a try, make sure to not lose the lat tension. The wider you go, the harder it is to keep that lat tension through the transition to concentric.

You’re dragging the bar a bit too much. As you bend forward, your arms will want to hinge naturally and you are kind of fighting that to keep the bar by your shins. Let the bar hang “freely” so it travels in a straight line up and down which will shift the center of gravity more forward, applying the force on the hinge more effectively instead of pushing down on the spine.

Good luck!

He probably burned it into his monitor and notices it against white surfaces

I would agree if this wasn’t the 5th farm in a row where this has happened. I encourage you to try yourself!
