Looks fine to me...I mean there's alwaus different ways to incorporate a lift. Pause reps, negatives etc but yous was controlled and there wasn't any bouncing. Looked fine to me.

I agree with Jayhawkk, your control is very good. I'd make my grip a little narrower, you seem pretty wide in that vid.

Are you still having trouble making progress on your bench?

yea i was thinking the same thing about the grip, since my triceps are my strongpoint.

yes i am having trouble, im gonnna start doing incline now for a couple weeks.

**Ikaika** · 12-05-2006, 03:26 AM

do incline barbell press and close up that grip a bit. I think if you do that for a couple months your flat bench will go up a bit(in addition to thickening up your upper chest).

**Jayhawkk** · 12-05-2006, 03:40 AM

Well, if your triceps are your strong point then it could possibly be a weak chest hurting your bench number? I'd go wider if that's the case. I know when I hit a sticking point in my bench I usually switch up a couple of things. Before I would even suggest what to change I would want to see what your average week looks like for chest.

elbows in! keep elbows in! :-D

**Jayhawkk** · 12-05-2006, 04:09 AM

lol, I keep mine out flaired as flaired can be. I do bring them in on occasion when changing things up but it hurts my shoulders big time to do heavy weight with it. Might be the reason i'm not a power lifter

**powerman2000** · 12-05-2006, 06:58 AM

From what I could see it looked fine, but I couldn't tell where your feet are at or what your arch looks like.

**Jayhawkk** · 12-05-2006, 04:48 PM

Wasn't a burn at all

It just doesn't work for me.
