    I appreciate that he spoke up and qualified the 950 bench "In a bench shirt". That speaks to humility.

    Can’t thank you both enough for this video. Been having shoulder pain for the last 3 weeks and haven’t been able to bench.
    Went through this routine twice this morning and the pain was gone enough for me to bench again.
    Thankyou!

    @Squat University the videos you do I can’t thank you enough for. After an AC joint tear, I thought I would never bench press again. It’s been 1 1/2 years and after doing this warmup I’m bench pain free. I never knew how debilitating injuries are until I had one, and the psychological effect is by far way worse than the physical. I am forever grateful for you.

      Although at the time I made this comment his warm ups did help, I haven’t needed to do them to get pain free push-ups since

    Great movements! Thank you for sharing Donnie's tips and experience.
    I do something similar for my hips with a short band around the knees and rotate each leg clockwise and counter clockwise. Never thought to use similar movements for shoulder mobility and scapular adhesions.
    Thanks again for this, and all your content. Always very helpful and educational, especially for us older lifters trying to stay healthy.

    Love the bench press content. I would really appreciate more detail in your videos regarding the specs on equipment being used. Width of bands, resistance LBs. of bands etc? Also a recommendation on a set of bands you would recommend for rehab work? A set that has various widths tensions and etc that would cover most needs. For instance I’ve never even seen a band as wide as the one in this video. Is the width important for that warmup?

    • @SquatUniversity
      @SquatUniversity  3 роки тому
