The highschool bench joke killed me, I play football and see it all the time! I guess there isn’t necessarily anything wrong with it besides being against powerlifting rules right? I’ve seen people frown upon this but never fully understood why
Butt coming off the bench can add some extra velocity off the chest that isn't coming from the primary intended movers of the bench press, essentially not training the hardest portion of the movement at intended working capacity. Also always doesn't help that some people push unequally with their legs when grinding out, which will lead to shoulder/arm misalignment, more prone to injury
Not ideal, it can change the angle and height that the bar touches your chest. Think of the strength difference between your barbell decline and flat press (there’s a reason decline is easier).
Would you recommend PPL, PPL as a split but keeping volume and intensity at a relatively low degree so your not consistently sore for maximum size growth? Cheers bro I love your video tbf.
Hey Justin Lee, you mind if I ask a question. How do you warm up for benching? Do you go straight into 5 x 5 set as seen in the video or do you do some type of stretches and warmups?
Justin you need to try benching on a Thompson Fat Pad then! I dont understand why more gyms in Canada dont have them…im in Vancouver and even the hardcore powerlifting gyms i go to dont have them. IMO best ppiece of equipment ive purchased for my home gym. So much stability and support from the extra width
hey Justin, what are your thoughts on mini cuts? i’m bulking but i’m starting at a higher bf so i’m going to get to that “peak bulk” bf quicker and gain less strength and muscle. should i do a short cut with a high deficit and then get back to bulking or should i do a longer cut at a lower deficit? i want to maintain as much muscle AND strength as possible.
@thespiritbomb You replied and didn’t answer his question at all. I think the answer based on research is that you can maintain muscle better when you’re on less of a deficit, as long as you keep protein high (creatine can also really help on a cut). So, I’d lean towards a longer, more mild cut and then keep bulking. However, if you’re talking about a cut that is really short regardless (losing 5lbs or so) I honestly don’t think it matters much, and it might be more fun just to blast through the cut quickly when then get back to your bulk phase. The only thing you should be wary of is that you will almost certainly regain this weight when you start your bulk again (but I think you understand this, based on your ‘peak bulk’ way of framing it).
Professional bodybuilders often do short, intense cuts to deliberately stimulate their appetite afterwards in a rebounding fashion(the same way people accidentally do so when they do dumb crash diets to lose weight). Renaissance Periodization has done some good videos on the subject.
I assume this is your heavy day (primary). And On your secondary days do you do similar reps and sets with lower rpe or higher reps still training hard? (Same rpe?)
I'm really into powerlifting and I would really love what you do on a week for example deadlifting because I don't know how many times to do it in a week or how heavy to go if I want to maximize strength
So would you recommend doing both bench press and overhead press on the same day? Or just sticking with lateral raises to hit shoulders? Personally for me, my shoulders feel underdeveloped compared to my chest, but I worry about too much heavy pressing in one workout. Thanks!
@@handlethisnut that's what I ended up doing yesterday and it felt awesome, just used some lighter dumbbells and I felt like I got better workout than when I do heavy barbell
if you want to go heavy on both, assuming you have a program which involves upper/push twice a week, go bench first on one day and ohp first on the next (still doing both movements, just changing which goes first), and that way you can still do both while alternating your first priority.
I’m glad powerlifting has gotten more popular, to the point that being a power a serious power lifted doesn’t sacrifice much on aesthetics, unlike before where all powerlifters were associated with being fat
@@JustLeein I mean the Bokeh is nice but isn't that a bit inconvenient to have such a zoomed in lens, especially for a gym setting? Is that on a full frame body?
Omg bro get a better spotter, on the second clip you struggled slightly on last rep and she didn’t even help , she Didn’t even help rack it too lol just stood there .
I love the longer length vids you put out. They’re really entertaining and informative.
Push day today and I passed my driving test yesterday feels good man 😎
Also bro these type of vids are great keep it up
I know that feeling. Congrats 😎

Great video buddy, I learned a lot about gains from you today

Good videos. And thanks for not seeming arrogant and attention seeking like alot of online instructors.
I love your longer videos :)
Loving this kind of content man, keep it up.

Great to see a longer video! Noice bench🤟

I'm very sure he warms up. Maybe not stretches but definitely builds up the weight before his working set

hi jistun isnt benching and doing low rep dumbbell incline bench very fatiguing? my chest becomes super sore after bench.
So would you recommend doing both bench press and overhead press on the same day? Or just sticking with lateral raises to hit shoulders?
Personally for me, my shoulders feel underdeveloped compared to my chest, but I worry about too much heavy pressing in one workout. Thanks!
Great question
Honestly i’ve seen great gains doing side raises and Face pulls 3-4 sets of 15-25 reps 4-5 days a week. Sometimes i add rear delt flyes aswell
If you're worried, just do overhead presses with lighter weight. Problem solved

Look at how happy his gf is when he finishes the last rep
😂😂
Brother, how much do you weigh and how tall are you ??Your a beast !!
Is one exercise for shoulder and triceps enough?
Bro your voice-over voice sounds different that your video voice XD Juicy Lifts tho
You’re looking huge bro
Hey Justin how do you find a good gym near your area ?

Dem forearms on the dips 🤤
justinnn can i ask whats your height and weight when you're 15-16
Do you take creatine by any chance
You offer a program yet?
Why doing 6-8 reps on second exercise and not 3x5 as first one?
Hey Justin would you create a power building program for me if I paid you
