Thanks for addressing the beginners, Dave. This even helps intermediate and even advance lifters to solidify things they already know.

Old elitefts style of videos. Simple, short and to the point! Enjoying

Would love to see a video in this style for the squat and deadlift next!

Jesus Christ, I'm used to seeing Dave in hoodies or other long sleeved shirts and didn't realize how fuckin jacked his arms are still!! That's crazy!

One of the most genuine trainers out there. Its funny how Dave struggles with youtube nuances.

Back to the basics would like this type of video on squat deadlift

The best bencing video on your tube so far for learners

I avoided doing bench for a long time, because I feel so wobbly. This is literally the perfect video. I have press day tomorrow, actually stoked to bench now. Really means a lot to beginners to have this level of professional coaching for free on youtube. Thank you!

Very informative and practical - I agree we forget the foundation and go too fast. Literally the cue of “drive your feet into the floor before picking the bar up” was great as I only pushed into the floor on concentric portion, relaxing at the top and in the eccentric

Great content again. Looking in good shape Dave

I absolutely love these videos. The whole Dave with an iPhone video style is great.

Was just telling a guy at the gym yesterday I need to stop watching so many bench squat and deadlift tutorial videos!!! Now Dave drops the most simple one to try out. Perfect!! Wednesday is skill day for bench working up to 85% of a 1rm. Thanks Dave and the eliteFTS crew. Always right on time. Hey are you guys watching me......????🤔

Best tips on web..simple get it done info..thanks for sharing your time...bless n carry on

These videos are great man. Keep them coming.

Commenting to help the algorithm. This channel is a treasure. Giving knowledge is one of the most important contributions a person can make to society.

Great advice. Watched your grip video and am loving everything else.

Great video Dave! I worked up to a 405 Raw Bench press yesterday and smoked it. I'm not big on a super arch like Mendelson but I do have a slight arch and stay very tight. I'm 5'7 246 pounds so it is hard for me to get super arched. My goal is to get 500 raw in a USPA meet at 242 pounds. I benched 440 raw in a USPA meet a few years ago. I'm still trying hard to reach that 500 raw bench press goal. I'm never going to give up. Thanks for your vids! They really keep me motivated.

Great to see you putting videos out Dave.

Basic or not, it's still great knowledge and thanks for putting it together!

Thank you Dave. Happy thanksgiving big man

Gracias from Texas 👍

Thanks for the info on bench press I appreciate the help very much Dave💯💪

Helpful reminders on "wording" to teach my kids proper basic techniques.

KISS method. Simplicity is the best teacher. Keep those thoughts to a minimum and not to over complicate things. Thanks Dave!

Really enjoy all the content Dave!

Good video. Thanks Dave

These are great

I'm buying nothing but Elitefts tshirts now, I got my first one on Friday but I bought it off amazon. Dave is my idol.

Loved this!💪

Thank you Dave. This will really help me create ques to use for my friends ( who I'm training with my limited but always expanding experience) that want to get into weight training.

These simple tips just got my shoulder feeling good and the weight moving smoothly. Good bless the old school🙏🏿

You got it dude!

Great job Dave looking good brother thank you for you have taught us and keep teaching us.

I see Dave used the dismount from last video to get off the bench😆 good stuff here!

I started dragging the bar out of the j cups after watching a video of yours but never realized it would help engage the lats I just did it without thinking. Very helpful thanks!

Love these types of videos

Commenting because Dave asked me to!

by far the best video since months, even all your content is awesome. I would appreciate a video like this from Dave for the box squat, squat, deadlift and sumo deadlift. that would be absolutely awesome. Thank you Dave and thank you elitefts for sharing so much great content

Stabilize, absorb, then produce force! 👍

More videos like this please

Please know I appreciate these videos as much as life itself @elitefts

Looking in great shape!

Huge fan cant get enough of the knowledge

I needed to watch this not to high on the neck thanks

Thank you Dave!! I need to get a pair of those pants

Now we have to work out how to get this clip playing in every gym in every country around the world!! So many lifters in ordinary gyms missing out on these basic cues!

Dave your the man. Thanks for starting the videos up again 🙏🏻

Watched this before benching today and hit a PR. Thanks Dave

Never realized he was this jacked at such age 👀🤯

Love the videos. Simple easy. Keep it up.

Great video. I watch young kids all the time in the gym while their benching. 1. Feet continue to bounce and move. 2. body is not tight 3. big bouncing of bar off the chest. 4. Stability? There is never any. 5. Body twist and turns to try to finish a rep. I try to give them some advice so they don't hurt themselves but like I was at 14-17 years old they think they know everything! So I see them fighting to get 175lbs up and this old man 55 years old is doing 350-360lbs with a competition pause. And even though they see the old man lifting a lot, they still think they know better.

Im gonna use this advice later on thanks boss 💪💪

#elitefts this is possibly the best "bench press setup" video I've ever seen. With the abundance of information out there, this bare bones style guide is fantastic. I've always questioned and played with my bench setup trying to get it "right" yet this video has brought me back to the start and helped me tremendously. I hope Dave knows how good this is. Would love to see a very similar style video for the squat and deadlift, please!

Great tips Dave!!💪😎

Dave rate bigger than I expected

shit ive been benching for 10+ years and this video is still helpful.. fuck focusing on all the fancy cues im just gonna focus on these that matter

you forgot "Like" lmao. Love your videos dude. I'd love to get out there for your next train your ass off session. Lord knows my bench needs special help. Gonna try your tips next bench day!

Good

Will a tall lipped j cup ruin this since you have to push up more than pull down to unrack causing your lats to loosen?

good video

DONT PISS DAVE OFF HE WAS ABOUT TO SNAP WHEN HE CLAPPED LOL

He didn’t demonstrate the side mount :(

More

👊

Totally guilty of over complicating the benchpress. Probably a big reason why my progression has been shit & I dont like to perform it.

Got the checklist done ✔️ Subscribe ✔️ Hit The Bell ✔️ Watch the other videos ✔️ Train my butt off

And comment for the algo!! :D Thank you!

Dave tate

Dave arms look jacked

Boss

Should I be using a narrow grip or wider grip? I have a pretty narrow grip. So many video and articles say bench is more tris than chest.

What about diamond shape thing of urs

3:58 I know where it comes from 😎

💪😎👍

Did you run a mile or so before this video? Breathing quite heavy.

Where's the squat beginner check list!?

Great vid, but use a mic pls, we want to hear that sexy voice

Dave always looks bloated and somewhat out of shape with his hoody on and then busts out the T-Shirt and looks "Jacked and Tan". #SleeperSwole

I wont like the video because dave didnt say to Jk 🤣

I bet that breathing annoys the shit out of the ol lady when shes mad at you
