personally i think it's a lack of technique, the bench press starts with the legs - leg drive (i'm still working hard on getting it right) when my set up for the bench press isn't 100% tight, i.e. if my shoulders aren't locked in tight and my upper body isn't buried in tight into the bench and...

i'd like to know about that one too trying and trying and trying around on wsb principles, while my squat and deadlift go well my bench goes nowhere.... of course it is not the principle but myself and my inability to incorporate all the different methods into a functioning bench workout...

all hails the sport of pelvic power lifting ! :D

i apologize a priori for the following polemic and rhetoric question, but how comes nobody ever complains about squat suits? sorry for that anyways, considering my training history i can't give a qualified statement on the subject on a non-metaphysical level, on a metaphysical level i try to...

holy shit.... is it really the shirt which makes it impossible for the weight to touch??? on the other hand,... what else could it be.... that's just insane

first up, i wouldn't do one armed db rows when you have already done barbell rows and i wouldn't do close grip pressing after flat bench pressing and secondly, how does your periodization look like? do you pick a weight and if you can get 5x5 with it you add weight next week? or do you start...

title says it all my static strength in the upper back is not enough to hold my upper back straight during >90% deadlifts, always rounds up a little thought that maybe i need more ab strength to improve my iap and maybe sitting good mornings would help too also my hip strength absolutely...

thanks alot for all the replies i'll definately try around a bit i also thought that my glutes and hams are weak, i really try to strengthen the glutes with oly squats, so far my atf squat max is about 30lbs off my paralell max

as far as i know it is generally recommended to place the bar low on your rear delts, i worked alot on that placement and now feel very comfortable with it yet i feel like somethings wrong recently i was box squatting for ME and it seems like i'm developing a new flaw in technique when the...

yeah,..... i was just trying to figure out the metal milita training style,... looks like a whole lot of volume,... do they keep that workoutplan for 8 weeks, then comp, then start all over again with it? i too have the feeling of not having done enough after every bench session,.... the...

when your form is correct the risk is minimal 'an exercise without a risk is highly suspect of having no benefit'

thanks for the reply! could you point me in some direction considering metal milita benching, how exactly is it built up? thanks in advance,

2nd week of my new started programm - bench (my benching always sucks it seems) 2nd time incline benchpressing up to a 1rm for ME last week i stopped at 82,5kgs for 1 repetition so i thought this week 85kg is possible i worked up 50x5 62,5x3 67,5x1 72,5x1 77,5x1 then i was shooting for 85...

thanks a lot guys for all the replies! the reason for all the below parallel squatting doesn't come from an empiric background but rather from a simple conclusion - when your squat below parallel goes up, your parallel squat has too, hasn't it? my weak point on squats is always out of the...
