Still waiting on my refund for the Better Brands order I placed only to find out you had paused the brand. Per your communication on X over 3 months ago I would be getting a refund. Since that time I have not received a refund or any further communication.
Started benching 2x to 4x a week and went from a 375lb bench to 408lb in 8 weeks . Think I’m going to drop Down to 3 as that may be the sweet spot for my recovery.
But you dont continue training chest after those benching sessions, right? Bc I get really tired sometimes when geting used to full workouts of chest twice a week
Really been struggling with bench. Finally did better form yesterday, and I’m definitely going to take some advice from this video! Keep up the great vids!
Noticed you pretty much only take weight with red,blue,green,yellow plates. Think you could make some good progress, especially on bench, if you start using the micro plates more. 🚀
Your wide grip and belly press path is crazy, I have tried it felt more stable but didn't press more weight, wide straight to nipples line path is strongest everytime
2 things, you're better at what you practice which means you may lift more at that path but that doesn't mean thats the best path. Also, it may actually be that that is the best path for you - everyone is different - but you should consider the science behind his path and decide whether you're checking the same boxes
My bench isn’t the greatest either but I do try and work and work on it like you do. My deadlift and squat are through the roof though. Things you can try to help your bench that I have done are decline work on one of your days and also maybe some static holds on your max weight you’d want to hit to acclimate your body overtime to the weight.
My sticking point is somewhere aroun 50-60% of the movement. For some reason it's like there's a freaking wall I'm pushing against. Feels like there's enough power but can't get past it. No downwards movement, no upwards movement, nothing. Just floating there till I either just call it or manage to push through after floating about 10 seconds...
I’ve been doing t shirt bench paused for years. I wonder if sinking it like this would help. I always thought it was cheating but if it’s acceptable in competition why not try it out
Yeah cuz if youre bracing into the belt it should stabilize your spine more then if you didn’t have the belt and this allows your brain to give a stronger signal and allow you to push and drive more thru your legs and everything I think idk I’m not a scientist but I think this is true
Take the intensity up, stop over training and lock in a sweet replish and recovery regimen. Hell try one workout every 72hours. Good luck! Train with Dorian Yates!
I say it once and I say it again russ will hit 900KG total as a 83kg just needs to lock in that 200kilo bench and maybe get rondellhunte as coach honestly
I would take advice from you but definitely not the bench! you need to step ur bench game up bro, I believe u can win but u gotta really work on ur bench.

A relative of his was selling ‘COZY’ merch and I haven’t received my shirt or response for yeaaaaaars, not even a refund.
Lowkey, the only way this gonna happen is if you catch russ in person. Maybe
Not getting the shit back lol
Weighted dips helped my bench a lot

@@vaxmartinez2462 How much do you bench? (1RPM)
@@vaxmartinez2462 I think he actually trains chest/shoulders/triceps only once or twice a week, but benches multiple times a week.

Dope video like the tips
Made this move recently too. Was pretty instant how much better the press was. Given youre not a big archer makes sense to get some sink in.
i have a competition coming up so this is exactly what i needed since i only do dips, thank u sir 🙏
Never get sick of that fucking slick intro!

i got secondary bench tomorrow so i'll definitely have to try using the belt
Hell ya putting in that work 💪
2:24 thats something I can really learn from lol. I always fuck around until 120kg and then lock in🤣😐

Give em hell Russ. That attitude on squat is what you been missing lately.
Do you like s3x ? (With the same gender)

Wider with a bulldog grip and a belt on 💯
Russ, you should do this for squat and deadlift next
I like to think about the sink like a throw from the body, starting from the ground aka legs
Yessir let’s see wat you cook up👨🏾🍳🤌🏾
Best natural in the game! 🔥🔥
😂😂😂😂
In the pause you touch super low on the torso. Any reason?
Probably because thats the highest point of his body during the arch, which basically reduces the ROM
@@tomasbugyikprogs yea but when he presses up he seems to keep his elbows tucked which isn’t that ideal.
why do you bring the bench so low towards your stomach and not sternum
Where was the pause though?
Ima try this
Bout time sun for the short kings
How many times in a week you do squats,bench or deadlift?
Did u work on your shoulder mobility to be able to do low bar squats ? If yes what did u do. I struggle with these.
There’s great yt vids out there that helped me with my shoulder mobility for low bar.
Where's the SINK tho??
Do you think he’s trying to sink the bar into his body and lock out with his triceps guys?
Im just messin dawg hope the change brings bench gains
Bro hit unc status since the last time I watched 💔
Take off that headband boy
Naa he got a 6 head he's hiding
damn even with wide grip... bar path goes pretty damn low... bar seems to touch the bottom of your upper abs... maybe that's the reason? lol.. 🤷♂
🔥💯🔥
Does using a belt on bench really help you lift more? I haven’t tried it and I’m curious what you guys think.
Yeah cuz if youre bracing into the belt it should stabilize your spine more then if you didn’t have the belt and this allows your brain to give a stronger signal and allow you to push and drive more thru your legs and everything I think idk I’m not a scientist but I think this is true
It helped me a lot tbh, but I also started sinking at the same time so not exactly clear how much is from what.
I thought the bar wasn’t allowed to sink?
It just needs to have a final end point where it becomes motionless
Not allowed to sink after the press command
Bro your silver chain is mega thicc
🔥💪
I wouldn't take bench advice from this guy. His bench hasn't gone up in YEARS.
ALSO, bro pay everyone back their orders.
Fake natty fake businessman
FIRST RAHHH
Next time try to fix noise on background 😢
Wow didn’t know that black was a scammer
Literally been saying you should sink your bench since 2019.
Take the intensity up, stop over training and lock in a sweet replish and recovery regimen. Hell try one workout every 72hours. Good luck! Train with Dorian Yates!
