Lol thanks bro, any specific part or do you just mean overall thickness?
Ah yes bro maybe triceps are weak, Im doing a little more CGBP now which will hopefully that will help...
Yes I normally have my buddy spotting for me or I someone else when Im benching as 65kg is a fair bit of weight and I just dont trust another 14 year old to be able to catch that if somthing happened lol

Your hang clean was garbage.
When you drop down into the bottom position, you need to wait their for a second. This is not a balistic exercise, and we are not trying to engage the stretch reflex. This is explosive exercise. Meaning you need to start from a static hang, dead still.
One of the major benefits of a hang clean is, that it teaches you how to pull correctly from the floor. Without that bounce and rip.
Also, you are putting too much emphasis on your arms and not enough on the legs, you need to literally jump as hard, and as high as you possibly can. You shouldn't feel like you are pulling with your arms at all.
I'll watch the other videos later.

Keep the bar path in mind on any kind of clean. It should travel straight up. I actually try to pull it straight up my stomach and chest almost touching them the whole time. You shouldn't pull the bar over either when you rack it. It should come straight up like a high pull, and at it's highest point you come under it. You could theoretically not even touch the bar with your hands when you are coming to rack it because it is at the apex of the pull.
Remember, your hands are just hooks at the end of your arms holding the bar. The pull is coming from your legs, traps, and back, and most importantly, hip drive with a final push through you calves to maximize the pull. When you get the whole thing together, even in a hang clean, you will be surprised how much more power you generate. The first time I got my traps pulling right with proper hip drive and extension, I damn near knocked my head off with a weight that I had been struggling to rep just two days before. It was that much easier to pull. All your arms are doing is making sure the bar is traveling straight and helping to provide a balanced rack position.

With your bench press, your feet were all over the place. When you bench, nothing should move but your elbows! Not your feet, your hips, your butt, your shoulders, your back...NOTHING! Looked like you were a good dancer with your feet going all over the place. Get them on the ground and do not move them till the bar is back in the J-Hooks. Benching correctly should not be comfortable.
Wanted to point out that you might not want to listen to me man...I'm far from a bencher! And you are obviously doing something right...just look at you. You are on your way to being big man, just keep going.
Yeah bro sure im gonna listen to you! I know my bench needs work and I found it a bit better today, I hit 65kgx8 (65kg = 145lbs) so Ill up it to 70kg for next week. Im getting better at engaging my back I just find after a few hip drives my arch starts to straighten and I have to pause a second or so and shuffle around a little especially with higher rep benching like 8 reps...
Lol a few people have said Im looking quite big.. I didnt really think so but I guess its just cuz I see myself everyday... lol
I wana be able to bench my own bodyweight though.. Im at 65kgx8 (145lbs) now and I weigh 81kg (179)... I think I may be able to get 80kgx1 Im not sure...
