The boobs tip was actually really useful, I've been watching tutorial vids with dudes and I couldn't tell where on my chest I was supposed to be lifting from.

Plz don’t moving ur elbow beneath ur shower line is super bad for ur labrum and rotate cuff these muscles are very weak and sensitive u won’t notice anything under all of the sudden u will have to do a labrum or rotator repair

What do you mean by having your elbow below shoulder line?

It took me way too long to find a female friendly bench press video. I really appreciate taking the time to break it all down and actually explain everything. Thank you!!

@jamilahs9898 4 жыл бұрын

For us shorty's a couple of plates under your feet helps tremendously in getting your feet right.

@lenisemicolon 4 жыл бұрын

Some gyms have blocks specifically for this purpose, otherwise you may want to use bumpers so they'll be flatter under your feet.

@victoriadantas8479 4 жыл бұрын

I did touch the ground before, but after I used the plates like you said, it felt like my feet were more stable. And that feeling helped me way more on adjusting all my body like Meg said in this video, and all of her tips made so much difference that I added some more pounds on my bench. I felt fucking strong. Now I thank Meg and you, Jamilah

I worked with a PT for a while about a year ago. We aren't working together now just bc I moved out of the city but I still use his plan and a lot of his tips and I love watching your videos bc you kind of confirm all of it for me and it's super reassuring to hear you instruct in a similar way to him. You sound like his voice in my head! Lol.

I didn't dare to try benchpress until I saw this and I manages to lift 50kgs. Then I had to stop going to the gym for a couple of months (because of the plauge). After my return to the gym I've barely been able to lift 30kgs without my shoulder hurting and I've been very frustrated. Turns out, I had forgotten this video and all your instructions. Today I watched it again before I go to the gym to bench again. I am positive I will be able to lift at least 40kg. :D Wish me luck!

I screwed up the wrist placement two days ago, wish I would have watched this video first. I'm getting back into heavy lifting (I fell off after some VERY serious non lifting related injuries about 12 years ago.) I only had 165 going (plates plus bar,) but my wrist has been killing me for 2 days now, I'm probably going to have to lay off of bench and pushups for the next week to let it heal. Well I'm subscribed now and will binge your form videos . . .

Hold on, I feel like you glossed over the most important reason for packing your shoulders and having at least a slight arch: It creates a more natural and safer position for your shoulders when lifting heavy. It's not just that it allows you to lift heavier, so people striving for hypertrophy don't have to do it. Which is also why a certain elbow angle is desired, along with packing shoulders and arching. As someone who had a basketball injury in my shoulder for almost a year realized how important it is to protect the shoulders when lifting.

Tbh arching the back like that is very unnatural to me. I feel like I am more focused on trying to arch instead of training my chest.
