Brian benching 315 one handed whilewaving with the other hand. Savage
undrachevr LOL
I know Im quite off topic but do anyone know of a good place to stream new movies online ?
@@phillipderek5150 there are none. Invest in a throwaway laptop and an ivpn subscription and get them from rargb and tpb
That's a little scary thinking even Brian dropped 315
FFS Brian disliking his own vid again because he's never satisfied with any PR.
BEAST.
I don't think that he did it. It appears to be only guys that do nothing but cable crossovers....at planet fitness.

480 close grip!!! what gravity settings are you using ?
maybe some sort of gear
100x gravity!!!
This was filmed in the moon hotel gym
Holy hell! A 480 close grip bench press! Most folk would be happy to deadlift that amount!
Proud member of the "stop everything to watch the new Brian Alsruhe video" squad reporting in.
Shouting 'Its all you bro' at somebody never resulted in a bench PR, ever. Scientific fact.
Mellow Bill yell it louder next time
Seeing you get so fired up about receiving stuff is awesome, Brian! Keep crushing it, and happy birthday man.
When you present your gifts you go from a kinda serious dude to a 12 year old at christmass :) Its great man! you can truly see the pure untainted love you feel for your fans and members. Dont ever change.
Thanks for the consistently great content! And your humbleness is contagious.
Just started watching your videos a couple months ago. Great information, very helpful. Keep up the good work.
Brian this close grip stuff has been great for me. Been incorporating this instead of regular bench and I've seen tremendous results in a short time. Blew an old close grip PR out of the water today. 315 @ 224 body weight. Thanks for the great content and training tips!
Definitely one of my favorite fitness UA-camrs. Keep it up man.
This has helped me tremendously! I thought my bench would be forever riddled with shoulder pain and tendonitis, now I'm benching with a close grip into the 400s. I never thought that possible. Great info!
just wanna say I watched this video and the bench press series about 2 months ago. since then I have managed to correct a setup problem and raise both my close grip bench, regular bench, and 3 rep maxes all around 20 pounds. thanks and much respect man!
Yet again another unique, and informative video. Great stuff.
Perfect timing man. Benched today and somehow Ive gotten weaker. Think its a shoulder issue but gonna backtrack and see where Im at. Was already thinking about plugging close grip in and this has just drilled it home for me.
Thanks as always man!
I also hate spotters. Everytime I put 315 on the bench at the gym someone asks me if I need a spot. I look them in the eye and say find something you love and let it kill you. *gray screen* Joking I just say I got it
streets buchanon and then you fail to get one rep in ;)
streets buchanon Yoo! This has me Lmao, too perfect a response. I'm absolutely going to use this.
I have a better Reply for you >> Don't Spot Me, Watch Me !!
Try and use that.
What?
streets buchanon i don't test maxes often so i almost never use a spotter, but i sure do hate missing a triple and having to do the roll of shame.
Enthusiasm is always on point. Keep up the great videos.
Brian's crew checking in...!
Brian looks like Dennis Quaid
The panic on Nic's face is a mirror of mine after watching that bar flip out of your hand. Thanks for this man. As always a timely video :)
Also...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! Hope you had/have an amazing day!!!
amazing tips as always mate, I'll be taking all of this on board for tomorrow's bench press!
have an awesome birthday Brian and thank you for all the great content. I have learned so much about strongman movements from you channel that I finally started throwing them in instead of my normal assistance work after the powerlifts. I don't know if it will help with powerlifting but I look more jacked and is a great change of pace
Awesome content as always Brian! You're awesome!! 👍🏻💪🏻
Awesome Brian. Bench press is one of those exercises that you can never get enough instruction. I am always thinking about elbow placement, keeping tight, keeping shoulder blades together. I used to bench like you back in the day, I did one day tear something in my shoulder, but luckily wasn’t severe. I am always thinking about form and making sure I focus as not being tight or using bad form on one rep can cause injury.
Good luck and congrats on the gym expansion !
I've only just recently discovered your channel and I love your videos man!
Dude, Brian's reflexes on that 315 catch were insane!
you are an absolute inspiration and motivation my friend you deserve millions of subs :D
Awesome video! Thanks for the tips.
Really glad you didn't hurt yourself with that 315. Great job with the close grip PR! That was some cool stuff you got too.
Happy birthday in advance!
This really helped me today. I’ve got long arms but a bad shoulder after decades of basketball and because of my arm length I’ve always tried to use a wider grip but today I brought it in about an inch an added 10lbs to my PR. I always thought it was interesting that I’m just as strong on dumbbell presses but because of the instability in my shoulder I always keep my arms in on the dumbbells so it now makes sense that I’ve developed a more tricep focused bench in order to manage shoulder pain.
bench is actually one my my better lifts. the tip about leaving yourself some room to flare is MAJOR! Nice PR, man. glad you didn't die!
Probably the biggest lesson I learned from Louie Simmons. He has his guys bench in training with the pinky on the ring unless it’s a close grip variation. CGBP CG Incline and CG board Press made my bench skyrocket. Great Video!!!
Awesome video ! Appreciate the solid advice. Especially since my shoulders are my weak link.
Definitely going to try this... very useful video... thanks
Just hit 300 on bench! Some of your videos have definitely helped. Thanks.
Happy birthday wishes in advance. Enjoy and have many PRs :) Thank you for the great content.
That 480 was a beauty. Great effort!
Happy early birthday, Brian! I'll be repping the purple RISE shirt while I'm visiting someone in LA!
Able to expand the gym, that's fuckin awesome dude!
its actually good to hear this because i already use close grip bench and i find that its almost just as strong as my regular bench. so maybe on my normal grip ill go a little closer
Good info on the closegrips. congrats on the pr and even more congrats on how fast you can catch 315!
Awesome video and advice. Thank you!
Thanks as always for the great content ! Awesome PR and reflexes on the catch. Any suggestions for when your Close Grip BP stalls?
Hey man! Nice video as always even though the part at 03:50 looked really gnarly and I thought you snapped your wrist to bits.
I'm glad that's not the case! I'm also glad you enjoyed the stuff I sent you man! The lanyards are meant to use as "survival bracelets" but works equally well as keychains or whatever you might think of. Since I didn't have your measurements when making them I made two in differents sizes thinking that one might fit and the other one you can give away, or use as you wish!
Man i did this for the last two weeks and it helped. Thanks.
Nice lift, nice catch!
Great advice, still cannot believe we get such great knowledge for FREE!... By the way, every since you talked about raising your butt to un-rack when benching solo... that has helped a lot! thanks... and look at you.. 52k subs. kickass brother.
posted on the day after i have a horrible bench day, i will use this advice next bench day!
Motivating stuff right there. What a freak !
3pm here in London. but who needs sleep when brian jus uploaded
tank you brian your informations are helping a lot, tank you so much .
Great advice!
I know how you feel about that 315 grip slip. I'm not as advanced as you are Brian but my baby wrists a month ago decided to do the same thing at 185 and even though I wasn't able to catch it, the bar was only 3-4 in above my chest and I got off with a bruise and a very humbling lesson about how to set the safeties. Thanks for another great vid.💪😎👌.
ur not half of what he is hes on gear ur a natty pleb.
Safeties won't help you if you let it fall tho, they only work for controlled failure. Unless you set them so high that you can't even do full ROM
cant handle the truth?
gotta love the guy watching over you, taking care of his bro
Good catch
Wow same. I never BP or squat with spotters. So that i can listen and feel to my body when to stop
Happy Birthday Champ
Damn your hand speed is on point you caught that shit again mid flight
good point about the Close grip bench being superior for strongmen athletes over the standard grip
Definitely giving this a try
Good save on that bar man!
I'm definitely implementing this right away.
I finished your entire playlist in Two days man !)love your content..and my bench is lagging..!thanks for the video
Brian you are my fucking idol. And i know you talk about how you dont have idols other than your parents but you should know just how much you inspire everyone. And might i add your low carb high fats is working like a fucking charm. Took about 5 weeks to adjust but its brilliant.
Trying this for sure!
I did this today and hit a new PR!! From 195-225
Congrats Brian!
I am the complete oposite-when it comes to bench I am a giant baby...Whenever I dont have a spotter I just can't go heavy...
Thanks for the info!!! I will definitely be using this next week on chest day!!! Time to get unstuck!!
good you mentioned it, my close grip is stronger than my regular and I thought I was doing something wrong. maybe my form is just wrong... still learning.
I'm just more comfortable when I'm going for PR's going with close grip.
Ty I needed this been stuck at 315 for awhile
Stay awesome bro!
Great vid! I think I used to have the same too wide grip when I started too.
Happy birthday!! 🎈🎉🎁🎂
Awesome... I go a little wider than close grip now...my pinky’s are about a inch away from the rings maybe a tad further..I can stay tighter& spread the bar / feel my tris better..
I remember seeing that slip on Instagram, god damn it gave me a fright! I've got the same thing with spotters, but I think that's because I've never really had a good spotter on the job. Once I had a guy walk off and do his own thing when he thought I'd manage it fine. Frustrating times, going solo you can take into account the risks and work accordingly with safeties and what not.
what the fruit! that was lightning fast catch man.
nice catch
I have long limbs, so my bench and squat arent where they shpuld be (my dl is solid though! lol) so this advice is much appreciated. Im getting closer and closer to 2 plates. I only weight 155 and I do 185 as a working set and Ive been as high as 205, but thats it. my road to 225 continues!!
Your bench pressing advice will get me to three wheels in no time
that save was badass on the 315 handslip! lol
You’ve talked me into it, I’m down, gonna close grip for a while.
just.. thanks man really !
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Brian hope you have a great one
Another great video, gonna try switching to CG bench for a while!
I struggle a bunch with elbow pain, have you ever dealt with it, and if so, have you been able to overcome it? I'd love to hear any insight from you on this.
This might have been exactly what I needed. I've benched 315x10, 335x8, 396 in competition, 405x1, etc, with a wide grip (middle on rings) but demolished my triceps on Tuesday doing a bunch of sets of 10 with 225 on close grip after seeing this video. Tried to rep 255 after some board pressing today, and only got 5.
My arms have always been small compared to my chest/back, and I've never "looked" like someone with a 405 bench. Seems like it's time to really start hammering the triceps.
Awesome video as always Brian. My close grip bench is almost equal to my real bench and my bench has also stalled out recently so this is perfect haha. But in the event that someone's close grip bench is higher than their competition bench, would you recommend just making the closer grip their competition grip?
I was never a great bencher but I always felt like close grip should be only around 50 lbs. less than ur bench press numbers. Congrats on the gym expansion bro
just now getting to catch up on my subscriptions, been super busy at work lately. these tips are extremely helpful! I typically do floor presses but after this I'm going to have to do more close grip bench now that I know how close to go. I typically do ring fingers on the powerlifting marks which is where everything is straight up and down at the bottom and it helped a ton. I have super long arms so triceps strength is never going to hurt. I am curious Brian I know you usually recommend equalling sets and reps of rows in the same plane. I am a huge fan of antagonist movements. would you recommend equal sets and reps of curls when doing close grip as well to help get synovial fluid into the elbow and keep the biceps and triceps equal to prevent elbow pain later on?
Thanks for info Brother going to try this.
I hope it helps!
Thanks me to being stuck stinks lol.@@BrianAlsruheOfficial
every time ive ever maxed my triceps were the reason i couldnt get the weight. so ive recently started doing closegrip bench in the place of regular bench. hopefully i will see results
i started to bench like that 3 months ago, noe i lift much more and no more shoulder pain :)
people always tell u u need to to the index finger on the litle mark or something like that, but u gota find your own grip
Here too.hate spotters.never ask for it..
Hey man, you need to do a video with Nick, would love to see it since I'm cutting down to his weight class. Would love to know what weight he normally sits at and what a cut looks like for him.
Gongrats for your PR!
What are your thoughts for the reverse grip bench press?
Happy Birthday Brain!Your Birthday is a week or so after my Dads!
this is exactly what happened to me.... my bench was stuck for years on 110kg x 5, I just said fuck it, I'm going CG bench exclusively to strengthen my triceps and bum, year later my best is 120kg x 7.... and I never went back to wide grip. I have even made a video about it :)
I do agree with his take on spotters, except I don’t even use spotter arms. I bench solo in a garage with no safeties. Stupid and dangerous, but I have never failed on a bench and have always grinded through the quitting moment
My first meet in 1987 I dropped my 2nd attempt bench from lockout on my chest.
The same thing that happened to Brian with 315 happened to me.
It was 430 and the audience gasped when it dropped on me.
Although it really hurt my sternum I didn't really get hurt and I made the same weight on my 3rd attempt and finished the meet.
My heart skipped a beat at 3:50
