Bigger Bench Tips!!

[cwick0]

Devastation,
If i were in your neighborhood i would love to train with you. Then you could see with your own eyes that i do have a pretty good clue as to what the hell i am doing. Just because i dont have a picture up or not very many posts next to my name doesnt mean i dont have a clue as to what is going on. I just started viewing this site over the past month. I have gained the vast majority of my knowledge through my experiences in the gym, including talking to other strong and knowledgable individuals. One cant learn everything on their own. Everyone trys and learns things differently.

Using ones legs does help increase ones bench, however, i think too many people use them improperly causing a shift in the weight. My apologizes for not being a physicist and perfect with all of the angles. I have been too and see powerlifting meets. I just choose not to use my legs to my fullest advantage when i bench. I want to focus all of the weight on my chest. Lastly, if i did use my legs to my fullest advantage my bench might be 500lbs, but i really dont need to go that high to prove a point to anyone nor do i want the excessive strain on my shoulders.

Bignate,
When i say my feet are dangling that may not be the proper way to say it. My feet are on the floor in a stationary position to ensure my balance.

as far as benching goes, there are way too many newbs with too little experience posting ideas about benching that would hinder many in the bench. some here are bodybuilders and bench differently than a powerlifter, which results in injury. the title of this thread is a bigger bench. not how to get a shaplier chest. a bigger bench comes from form, boards, bands, chains etc. do research on these topics

and if you believe leg drive does not improve your bench, you might as well hang up the lifting career, cuz you don't have a fukkin clue

as far as frequency, you need to experiment on your own and see what works for you. i used to bench mon & fri and progressed nicely, to a point. now i bench once a week and now i am continuing to improve once again. you need to be around the weights for more than 3 mos to understand what your needs and requirements are.

and as for the quality of this board, there are way too many newbs and not enough powerlifting vets to give good advice. anymore it's like the blind leading the blind, hence why i seldom if ever post here. Scotsman is a good bor, and knows what the fuk is up, as does bfold. but i seldom see anyone else as knowledgable posting anymore

and if you don't know where to search for bench info, click on the link in my sig

well thanks for contributing, Bigdho is a good guy..I agree with most of your points...My suggestion why not be a doer like scotsman ,walkingbeast and others and educate these newbies?? And your girl has a fine ass but do we really need her getting catty at bigdho..My reasoning for this thread was because i wanted to improve my bench i am not a powerlifter but incorporate a style similar to coleman and Johnnie Jackson..There is no one right way and as you say we must experiment and see what works for us!!

Devastation is right. The quality of info on this board really has declined in the past year.. lots of quality people have left.
