Well thanks for the help everyone, I have been training with "elbows in" for a few weeks now and i beleive I will definatly stick with it, although it hurts my shoulders more I am definalty stronger with the elbows in....
Well that is a raw lift but i will be using a shirt in meets, I have noticed most shirt benchers lift with their elbows in, and everything i have read from big benchers say elbows in.. Advice from raw and shirt benchers would be apprecitated thanks brotha
I"m looking to add weight to my bench i'm not satisfied with 410 and i do have shoulder pain but it comes with the territory. and i put my pinky's on the power rings
I am considering changing my form to elbows in, I have read this in many articles, currently benching 410 or so w/o shirt. Just curious if anyone has any imput on this good or bad...
Seems like everyone's weakness is the bench and I'll just have to join the crowd My bench sucks ass too... 410 w/o shirt 730 Squat 660 Dead 2000 here I come
I personally know some of the strongman competitors and I can tell you that they ALL use gear not as much test as you would think more insulin and growth than anything, BUT they all train their asses off I am here to tell you, I have trained (well did my best to train) with a few of them...
If you have problem with sticking points, you have a lack in speed and explosive power. If the weight is moving fast enough there will be no sticking points. I agree with the chains and bands, low box squat, deads off a 6 inch box and NEVER leave out reverse hypers.
