Bruh if you could quit benching more w8 than I can deadlift that'd be gr8. Thank you for your understanding.

So I'm gonna bench 500 now? Thanks Brian.

Man you have come so far is such a little time I subscribed back you you had 6000 subscribers and since have improved all of my lifts with some of your methods. Thank you

This is hands down the best video on benchpress. The way you use visual explanations to express what you're talking about, make it so clear as to what you're talking about. This is why we all subscribe to your channel.

As always, super helpful tips. The visuals always help a lot. :) Also, Brian- your energy is so infectious. We are always excited to get in the gym but even more so after watching your videos.

Thank you very very much for the tip about unracking by lifting the hips. I workout at home, inside a power rack, and was having trouble unracking. You're the man. Technical and motivational. I am currently followowing the Starting Strength program, reading through the books and videos of their channel, bur I allways make sure to check yours. Keep the good work. Greetings from Brazil.

love the cues. always amazed at the quality of your content. keep fighting gravity!

This channel is a treasure that keeps giving! Used this info today for a great bench session during my RPM workout. Thanks Brian.

I’m attempting 300 this Saturday and am very excited and pretty confident I will get it. All these tips are helping me with that. Thanks!

really great advice brian, one of the best channels on the tube! Much love from Ireland!!

The leg drive technique is awesome! thanks Brian.

You deserve way more views, subscribers and income from youtube. What an absolutely impressive channel. I cannot thank you enough for the many helpful videos you have posted.

Could not have come at a better time brother. Thank you for putting the effort into this video Alsruhe!

Definitely so far the best guide I ever found on the internet. I recently switched from another method and I feel my body more tight. Good work Brian 💪

Thanks so much for this video, Brian! You helped me more in 10 minutes than all my efforts in the last 6 months. I have really f'ed up shoulders and as a result I stalled on my bench. I have watched countless technique videos and just couldn't seem to "get it". Your straightforward explanations flipped the switch. New PR, new outlook and new goals. Subscriber to believer to fan. Keep 'em coming bro.

brian you are so freaking awesome those bench cues have helped me tremendously I really can bench more after watching this video again thank you

Can you do one for deadlifts and bentover rows too. You're helping me improve my technique and my strength, huge fan

stealing this. going for a PR next week, excited to try this out. thanks again for the awesome video Brian

This channel might be the biggest hidden gem on YT. (At least in regards to fitness)

so glad I subbed this channel, super helpful video as always. Brian hasn't changed at all, even though his channel has tripled in size since I subbed.

so hyped for this series. I really hope you do a row cheat sheet too. it's a very underrated movement imo. and your squat cheat sheet helped me alot btw

Whoop-whoop! Loving these cue sheets! Keep it up Brian!!!

One of the most clear and concise "Bench Press Technique" videos I've seen in a while.

Awesome Video Bro enjoyed it tons. I am gonna make this weekend a bench press weekend. Saturn and Pluto lol on my way to the 405 club and needed these tips. I never get tired of watching are hearing you talk about bench.

Damn. The part about unpacking the weight in a way to keep tightness instantly helped me put on 10 lbs.

You're a beast brian. Keep grinding and keep sharing your wisdom. Appreciate it man

I love the idea or a cheet sheet. I tried it today for Bench alongside timing my rest periods and it was by far the best workout I have had in a while.

This is basically the ultimate guide to benchpressing, awesome stuff man!

Thanks Brian always great videos. Your the King brother.

Congrats on 90,000 subs, Brian!

10:02 minutes long. You're getting good at youtube, Brian :)

Thanks so much Brian!!! Awesome cues as always

FINALLY I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THOSE T-SHIRT

Your channel is the best

I just got my total gym (chuck norris), hoping I'm gna look like you soon.

Great video Brian! You're damn strong man

Love the cheat sheets man Very helpful..Thanks

Great video. Thanks Brian.

This channel is awesome. A lot of great content

Brian something few mention is tucking chin and neck during squat.....your head is heavy and it helps to balence over mid foot

Outstanding synopsis Brian!

another awesome video thanks for the tips coach

Wow this is Jedi level, so glad I listened to this.

505 bench?! Brian, dude, fuck. You're a monster! So stocked for you, brother.

my cheat sheet involves bragging about being able to bench 1000lb

Not sure the video but ur tip for using a broom handle and pulling out whilst trying to bend it and doing push ups with it has given me so much more strength in rowing movements and maybe keeping good posture too. Im telling everyone, especially those with bad posture. Still can never remember how to spell/say ur last name haha

Great video Brian! Can't wait to try your method of lifting the butt up to unrack the bar.

Squeezing the bar "like it owes me money" has probably helped my bench more than anything, I've gotta try the bar bending and see if I can get a little more out of it.

simply awesome..

awesome video man... would love see some training footage of yours....

that lifting your butt off the bench to unrack tip is pure balls-roo gold! Especially for people like me who dont have friends to hand out for us. #Solobenchpressers #nofriends #ballsroogold

Hey Brian awesome video as always! I was wondering if you could give me some advice about farmer walks. I am a newbie, and currently I am using 60 pound dumbbells (I used 50 a few days ago), but I am working on increasing that, as I know you talk about how great they are for building strength. My goal is to reach 100 pounds in each hand, but I am not sure if that is realistic. How often would you recommend adding weight, and how much should I add each time? Today was only my second day ever since I started incorporating them into my workout. Thanks again for the effort you put into the videos!

SALUTE TO NEVERSATE!!!

Alsruhe Army reporting for duty

Could someone explain me better what he says about not rolling the shoulders when lifting the bar? I could not spot the error in the slow motion video he showed P.S. Great video man! I really enjoy your channel because I learn so much!.

Please please make a video showing how to do a sandbag, keg, husafel stone medley. I can't figure the heavy sandbag out even when the weight is less than 50% of my deadlift. There are 0 videos online showing how to do the "strongman" sandbag lift/carry.

Brian, an idea for your next Q&A. I'm currently on vacation here in the States and where I'm staying there is only machine weights and one of those pulley multi station machines (although it does have pull up handles) and some medicine balls. I will be moving on to other destinations where the hotel gym has dumbells, however, none of these resort/hotel gyms have barbells or power-racks etc.. Can you devise a workout that can be done in this extremely limited environment? Oh, and my deepest apologies for even asking this in advance but I'm desperate!! lol.

chest day today! now i am ready ;)

I'm hoping the OHP cheat sheet comes soon man, really struggling with it personally. Regardless of my shoulders being messed up since i was like 6 years old, i still feel like i've got more strength than I am able to actually press.. Asked a few people and none of them had any positive/helpful input.. So.. I'm counting on you Brian!

Nice video! Btw I love you in Guardians of the Galaxy as Starlord :D

awesome tips

You the realest

Do we bin the bar on the descent and the press

Good cues. How bout wrist wraps?

You're the man

Thank you Brian for another awesome checklist. Will you ever offer the Neversate shorts for sale?

keep up the good work brian !!

Hitting the j-hooks sucks so much! Any tips for avoiding lower back cramps when trying to develop and hold the arch? For benching for strongman, would you use the same grip as your OHP or a wider grip assuming you can keep your forearms relatively perpendicular? You keep reminding me that my pressing sucks...

When you do the ohp video could you have a mention on how to time the leg drive. I always mess it up and end up driving with the legs too early or late 😬 thanks Brian.

Does this advice all carry over to the floor press?

Great video. I have two questions: 1. I've got a meet coming up (USAPL), and I can still bench way more (like 10% more) if I use stretch reflex. Is there anything I can do in addition to pause bench that will help me be able to push after waiting for the "press" command? 2. Are there any good cues to keep your posterior on the bench while making the most of your leg drive?

5 hunna 😃💯 smooth

Power!!!

solo unrack tips? I don't think anyone else has really ever included that in their vids. sweet.

Have a decent bench. 340 in high school. My last year, hoping to hit 385

thank you for these videos. I hope I can take some hints with me to the gym next time. I have one problem though ( might end up beeing a long text, sorry ). At my gym ( typical commercial ) we have Hammer Strength Powerracks. The barhooks on it are a lil bigger than yours. I feel the height adjustment points are too big for my body. The one I am used to right now is pretty much at lock out of my arms. So I have to lift with the shoulders ( the big nono ) But If I set the hooks just ONE step lower I start with my arms actually bend. So to unrack I have to first extend my arms and then bring the bar into position with the lats. I honestly can not see how that would work with heavier weight :/ Now that I think of it....you probably can not give any other advice than : switch gym. anyway : thank you, have an awesome day.

Is it a big problem when I use suicide grip on benchpress? Because when I try to squeeze the bar etc, it feels weird or have pain in forearms and grip is not so strong, so I just move my thumb away and do suicide instead.

Gonna give those cues a go today :) Brian just a question for you for your next Q&A. Have you ever suffered from tennis/golfer's elbow and if so, how did you work your way around it? Thanks a lot mate :)

Love this series. But seriously Brian I have a question for you. if you were to pick 1 pressing movement to focus on, which would you pick for general strength and size? Bench vs overhead press?

What is a strong bench amount for 180 man?

hey Brian. looking for a way to help a buddy I lift with his bar path on the bench. it's kinda all over the place. I have thought about chalking the middle of the bar to illustrate my point that the path is all over the map. any suggestions how to fix that?

Kind regards from teh Netherlands!! We are looking forward to train at the other side of the ocean @ your place!

Hey, could you add a cheat sheet video for the bent over row too?

Cheat sheet 💪

How does one get past a mental block. I can’t seem to get past 88 pounds.

How many reps at 225 can you do?

Hey Brian. I know your answer may not be exact but I am a long-legged guy. So what is the ideal feet position for me. Should I keep my feet wide or slide it back towards my butt more while laying on the bench. Also if I am correct by leg drive you mean doing a leg press right? Just pushing your heels in the ground right? Thanks

Also Brian do you sell your shirts in India or deliver them here

So are you supposed to let the elbows flare on the way up? Does this help with power? I know to tuck the elbows on the way down to protect the shoulder so I try to keep them tucked throughout the whole movement. Is there a benefit to letting them flare on the way up?

i like how Brian was more to the point in this video

Brian, are you on TRT? I'm still young now so I won't need hormonal help anytime soon, but I won't be young forever.

For reference how tall are you? Your grip looks relatively narrow but your hand placement is about what I do as wide grip

Right after finishing bench day damnit

what if you exhale/inhale at bottom of lift? (paused)

Now I can take my bench over 9000!

I tried these tips today and I got two more reps on my bench. Wtf. This stuff works...

You are not really building up kinetic energy. You are building up potential energy. Kinetic energy is 1/2 * m * v^2

thumbs up blind 👍

Damn… how many kegs do you have? I only have 3-4.
