Update6 months and I'm still loving this bench. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxo_64lVTGMk7y4aXTPxPOcQ3YTLyQ6kYV I use it almost daily. I've gotten used to the small wobble and it's no problem at all. Love the storage, it folds right next to my weight set in the garage and hardly takes any space. I wish the covering material was a little bit tougher. I have a feeling that in a couple years it'll tear, but the bench is very well priced that I would just buy a new one.3 month usage review. Awesome bench for someone looking for compactness and storage. I did have to drill a couple holes to adjust my preferred seating position and leg bar position but that's only due to my personal preference. It's very sturdy for normal workouts, but for anyone going above 100# dumbbell press it wobbles ever so slightly. I would probably go with a fixed bench if that's the case. That being said i can accomplish 99% of my normal gym workout with this setup. Very happy with the purchase.
not neccesarily, if you do very peculiar exercises like the floor press or whatever if you want actual tips though do not watch athleanx its that simple search up youtube videos he mostly talks about bs
@Inconceivable Disputes lol grow a pair and ask to work in. Too many timid motherfuckers in the gym nowadays. Racking and re racking weights is an added benefit/workout as well when working in with others.
I just wanted to write a thank you to Jeff. I am planning to buy one of the many programs once I’ve determined which one I would like best, but for the past year your videos have fixed my back, fixed my plantar fasciitis, increased my strength, improved my mobility, ensured I’m safe when I work out and, most importantly, given me a new perspective on how the body works so I can get after my goals with pinpoint precision. You are performing an incredible public service with this UA-cam channel - and you have my gratitude
I’ve been stuck at the same weight for my bench for so long but 2 weeks after implicating the tips from this video and I was finally able to go up to the next set of weights !
Hi Jeff. Wanted to let you know from the bottom of my heart that ur videos on how to deal with 'low back pain' saved me from a hell lot of pinching pain due to bulging disc in the past 2 days. I carefully followed the workouts that you showed to "decompress, recentralise & do extension" of the spine, which were the key points. I've been suffering from bulging disc since the past 10 days and the ortho physican i first went to showed me the wrong exercises that worsened the pain and in hindsight realised were mistakes after listening to the science behind the pain cause. Once again thank you. Had it not been for your videos, i would have still been in the dark ages not knowing what to do. Can't thank you enough.
Jeff you guys don't imagine how much you're helping me. I have a 10 months AC joint in a cycling accident, and 5 years with a Slap lesson on the same shoulder (tennis). Terrible struggling with this while Working on inside rear Indycar tire changing, is not the best sensation. Learning allot following you guys!
Anything free is not worthit. Nothing is free. Except your own effort. Yourself. Nothing else is free. Use the gift you have. Gods gift. F. All others. Focus. If you bench and add a small wt over time. It will grow.
Unless you weigh a buck 10 with DDs, free isnt happening for most men. Our lives are harder but in the end we have get to enjoy the best things in life and that's not a lie
The strength gains I've reached just by following Jeff's UA-cam videos blows me away. I can ever pick out other followers at the gym by seeing what and how they do their lifts. Whenever I can scratch up enough money I'm definitely buying one of his programs.
No dislikes. This guest is by far the best advice given on the you tube internet for bench press. I'm glad you brought him back! That one legged monster!! Started laid back pulls....and now want to try floor press with dumbells. Thanks Athean.
It's ironic! I'm going through Jeff's Beast program and I have a challenge coming up that involves dead lifts, squats, and bench press, and is given by K.C. Mitchell. I know that my bench press is weak so I searched "how to improve your bench press" and this video is the first thing that came up. This is good stuff!
Dumbbell floor press is one of my favorite exercises. Never have to wait on other people to get off their phones and finish their time on a bench. Plus if I happen to go to failure I feel more comfortable putting the weights down than I do when elevated.
Yep. Plus, I personally think dumb bell presses are more impressive as well. You have to control it with forearm strength. When I see dudes with 60s and 70s in each hand, I know they can do 200+ on the bar for sure.
The standard straight back bench press has been performed very successfully by bodybuilders for millions of years at this point, I don't think I'll change that up thank you

Started off on this journey 6 months ago using ONLY ATHLEAN-X methods & training guides that were free (Family of 6 so can't afford to buy his programs). I've followed EVERY single piece of advice Jeff gives to a T, including what foods to eat. I've always been a thin person, up until this recent year when I started this journey. Was at 127 pounds at the start, today I'm at 158.9 pounds of lean muscle. Granted I'm still not huge or considered big, but I'm definitely on my way there & I definitely look a hell of a lot better. Mind you I'm 43 years old & have been recovering from some serious health issues that are now resolved thankfully. Just wanted to say thanks to Jeff for all the free help you offer folks like me, it's changed my life quite literally. Seriously Jeff, thanks for all you do bro.
Just a short note to thank you about your great video to eliminate backache. It really saved my butt before a 20 hour overseas trip. Hanging from the bar with toes touching, gave me instant relief. Thanks again.
I wish I worked with Jeff, haha. It's a game of chances, like lottery. Why wouldn't exist those programs? If I get results with this one, I'm sure I'll buy another one. It's rewarding marketing, pals
I didn't know much about leg drive, didn't understand it rather, until I watched that last video with KC and watched a couple other videos of people explaining it. I added 20 lbs to my working set (from 205 to 225) and added roughly 30 lbs to my max weight that I felt comfortable moving without a spotter (from 220 to 250). Coincidently, I increased the weight of my working sets on a lot of my isolation exercises too.
I followed some of k.c his tips and got my bench from 3 reps with 225 to 8. Finally some real progress again after 2 years of wasting my time not knowing wtf i could do to increase my bench
Jeff, KUDOS to you! Years and years you have been doing this and every video you have is always something to learn and unlike others. The best! Thank you! John, Philippines :)
I'm in senior high school right now, and I'll be taking physical therapy in college(then be a strength coach). Jeff is my inspiration... I hope I can work for Jeff in the future :(
The static DB press is one of the recommended accessories in the Boris Sheiko powerlifting program. It is a very humbling exercise. To see KC doing 100's is extremely impressive
When you meet Jeff, he'll count how many times he shook you with one hand, then he'll shake you again with the different hand with the same rep, just to gain equilibrium.
Mr. Mitchell put a good point with dumbells. This give one someone a goal to reach for, no matter the weight. I'd never would of known Mr. Mitchell had one leg until the camera panned his body. Great technique. 👌🏿 👏🏿
I just love these videos you make. The point is that you get a lot of different variations on how to train. Body needs this kind of training. If I would just do bench press the normal way it would take lot of more training to get the increase that I would get when doing all these different variations. Same rule applies to all the other parts of the body. For 2024 I set up a goal to Bench press 3 times that 100kg. Never been able to do that and for me this is a whole new world. Thank you for posting these videos. They help a lot and the best thing is that they help me to avoid all those mistakes that I probably would do with out these videos.😅 Keep up the good work.
Best way to increase bench press is to bench with someone stronger than you. You will always be chasing them, getting stronger with each rep and workout.
This has been my bread and butter chest workout for 12 plus yrs. it’s taken my strength, endurance, and mass to another level at 185lbs. Gotta love JC and the knowledge he shares. 👍🏽👍🏽
Hey Jeff, will you make a video about specific exercises to do, and what not to do, for someone with a shoulder subluxation? It would be much appreciated.
I have a small, but long term tear in my left Rotator Cuff. Floor dumbbell presses work my chest very well without straining my injured shoulder by hyperextending it too far back, which would easily happen if I was laying down on a bench
the bro bench is based on lats and triceps to suport with wide grip to keep pressure off the shoulders rather than stabilization we use on normal bench best suppoted by exercises like motorcycles rides ( 70 lb pec fly holds w horizontal handles). the aligned back during excercise is amazing for posture body mechanics back ribs and gut.

Jeff doesn't need anyone to go on his page and comment to purchase his programs. His stuff speaks for itself man. Don't disrespect him like that. He has 8 million followers. Why would he need someone with only 130 subs?
@@nekosoflo I honestly believe you But Jeff's exercises seem to be so complex and require a very well equipped gym, at least based on what I saw in his videos Or is it just something you have to get used to?
@@JAYfromTHEworld if you go on his website it asks you what equipment you have access to. Based on that you can find a routine with basic equipment or even none at all.
I don't have a bench so all my barbell pressing is off the floor, never tried dumbbell presses off the floor until I saw this. It was def. harder for co-ordination, hope it'll help strengthen my weaker side too. Very helpful video. Thanks.
the last example is what my boxing coach had me do to deal with fatigue - by holing the weight straight out in front for time and then changing from over hand to underhand position
Jeff been a subscriber for a few years, I think its awesome and brings different positive dynamic when you have a knowledgeable guest with you, I hope you do more like this, even though I'm only commenting after watching for first time a year ago
Mr Mitchell brought up some great 👍🏿 dumbell sets. It gives a person some goals, no matter the weight. Great technique 👌🏿 👏🏿. Mr Mitchell is so smooth, I didn't realize the one leg until the camera panned his body.
I think it was like 4 years ago I watched a Paul Chek video where he was doing the floor dumbbell presses and I used it to rehab my shoulder - really works well!
Oh god (Jeff) . Thank you so much for this. I've been working out for a month and I can only press 12 kg dumbbells and 10 kg plates on each side of the bar. Progressing without any idea how was really difficult. Surely this will help me. You're a life saver.
someone tell me how to get my triceps "sore", i always feel like i dont do enough for my triceps, i just started doing more close grip bench, but still would like some accessory work or more iso exercises, thanks guys
I used to feel the same for triceps, would be really hard to get a good workout for them the way i could for biceps. Try dropping the weight to fix your form maybe because that was the main thing for me. Also try doing more volume. Skull crushers with barbell or EZ bar whilst keeping your upper arms and elbow absolutely locked is a killer. Do rope push downs to where you're ripping the rope apart down by your sides at the bottom of the movement and elbow fully locked by your sides throughout.
I have a baby rotator cuff tear in my left shoulder so don't do heavy barbell bench presses...I always do dumbbell when I get heavy to allow my bad shoulder to have some room to save itself in my motion. I have never tried the floor dumbbell press, I think I will give them a try with very light weight and see what my shoulder thinks...over the years since I screwed my shoulder I have learned to lift pretty heavy (the added muscle mass gets me near 90% rehabbed) but just any movement that hurts I avoid.
For those guys who didnt win the giweaway here are some stats. Views in the first hour 39312 Your chance to be one of those 100 is 0.254% and dont forget its random so yeah i think its not riged.
This is my go to channel for all things related to fitness!! Jeff covers so much ground; offering invaluable tips. Thanks for being such an inspiration. I'll be a fkn BEAST by next year. Been watching all your leg training videos and within only a month I have noticed a difference simply by following your instructions. Thanks!!

Thanks jeff , those pause reps actually got the gym bro’s to come n save me😂😂😂
Edit: thanks for the 8 likes guys , those 100 other are my fake accounts😜
Hahaha dude, thats exactly what happens. People freak out way too soon, everyone thinks youre about to die hahaha

Hahahaha
Salvador Perales damb true bruh ,sometimes u end up getting embarrassed crying out for help
that literally happened to me too
i was 100% doing pause bench..
pause rep bench, barbell press, & dead bench have helped me alot with my bench press
Came to lose the giveaway, stayed for the content
😂 it’s a vicious cycle
oh my god - look at his forearm during he does the bench-press. wow _!!! the left one looks just awesome !
Man I love you workout program! I purchased your BEAXST program and the results have been amazing! Thanks for all your help and for what you do Jeff
How mush did he pay u ? :'(
@@androidtur7044 Jeff? Lmao I wish I could speak to him one day to thank him personally. I payed for the program full on. And I recommend it 100%. Jeff doesn't need anyone to go on his page and comment to purchase his programs. His stuff speaks for itself man. Don't disrespect him like that. He has 8 million followers. Why would he need someone with only 130 subs?
@@nekosoflo
I honestly believe you
But Jeff's exercises seem to be so complex and require a very well equipped gym, at least based on what I saw in his videos
Or is it just something you have to get used to?
Im thinking of buying the program too, can you ask questions on a forum or something if u have questions?
@@JAYfromTHEworld if you go on his website it asks you what equipment you have access to. Based on that you can find a routine with basic equipment or even none at all.
I don't have a bench so all my barbell pressing is off the floor, never tried dumbbell presses off the floor until I saw this. It was def. harder for co-ordination, hope it'll help strengthen my weaker side too. Very helpful video. Thanks.
Strange, we bigfoots can bench like a thousand pounds without training
what the fuck
That's it ?
Just Some Bigfoot With Internet Access, the hero we need, but not the hero we deserve
Say sike right now or I’m taking a pic of u
Yo sass.... Ask tenacious D when their next album is going to drop, would you?
Gotta give respect to KC Mitchell. That guy is a beast!
Agreed🙌🏻
7:15 Jeff's looking like a comic book superhero/villain :"D
he IS a comic book superhero. Jesse is the villian
Holy crap jeff, last I say you had 4.8 mil subscribers.... now you are over 8! Congrats and again great video!!
Jeff on Olympic lifting video, please!
Pro atheletes dont do that.... Is waaaaay too risky... Maybe powercleanibg..with medium weights..
aa dd if u know the form IMO cleans aren’t risky, even snatches (with healthy shoulder mobility) is fine
the last example is what my boxing coach had me do to deal with fatigue - by holing the weight straight out in front for time and then changing from over hand to underhand position
If I dont win the program next time im swapping facepulls with upright rows
😂👌🏻
Jeff been a subscriber for a few years, I think its awesome and brings different positive dynamic when you have a knowledgeable guest with you, I hope you do more like this, even though I'm only commenting after watching for first time a year ago
Can we just take a minute to appreciate how long it must take him to write that video description👆
Yeah agreed🙌🏻 a lot of effort goes into his videos👌🏻
Even after all this time, you still find something new for us Athlean-X. Good job as always to you and your guest.
"Just 120-130 each arm, you know, significantly lower"
All around me are familiar faces
Would be nice if I barbell benched 120 already
I like how Jeff let someone else give instruction on his channel. Inspiring and sharing wisdom no matter who is teaching it. Very humble
When i see an Athlean-x upload, i put the video speed to 0,75x so i can listen closer
Bro you gotta live your whole *life* at .75x just so you can recover enough to keep up with Jeff when you see him 🙏🙏🏃♂️
Mr Mitchell brought up some great 👍🏿 dumbell sets. It gives a person some goals, no matter the weight. Great technique 👌🏿 👏🏿. Mr Mitchell is so smooth, I didn't realize the one leg until the camera panned his body.
jeff, why didnt you include the overcoming isometrics version of the bench press , that one will increase your bench drasticly aswell
He's done that video before
I think it was like 4 years ago I watched a Paul Chek video where he was doing the floor dumbbell presses and I used it to rehab my shoulder - really works well!
pushups and overhead has huge carie over to the bench press
... overhead? Really?
@@qwert12345asdfgzxcvb ohp bruh

@Follow the howl same movement patron, works endurance and tissues, makes you stronger and more buff
@Follow the howl ok bro
@athleanx In the Dumbbell Floor Press, is it still recommended to pinch your shoulder blades down and hollow the back? Thx. Your channel rocks!
Face pulls squad, who's here early?
Oh god (Jeff) . Thank you so much for this. I've been working out for a month and I can only press 12 kg dumbbells and 10 kg plates on each side of the bar. Progressing without any idea how was really difficult. Surely this will help me. You're a life saver.

Machio?
My favorite learn more from machio then jeff 😂🤣😂🤣🤣
Thanks for the great videos, I really enjoy KC Mitchell and repect his service as a veteran myself.
someone tell me how to get my triceps "sore", i always feel like i dont do enough for my triceps, i just started doing more close grip bench, but still would like some accessory work or more iso exercises, thanks guys
I used to feel the same for triceps, would be really hard to get a good workout for them the way i could for biceps. Try dropping the weight to fix your form maybe because that was the main thing for me. Also try doing more volume. Skull crushers with barbell or EZ bar whilst keeping your upper arms and elbow absolutely locked is a killer. Do rope push downs to where you're ripping the rope apart down by your sides at the bottom of the movement and elbow fully locked by your sides throughout.
Skull crushers are really good for triceps mine are always sore after
I have a baby rotator cuff tear in my left shoulder so don't do heavy barbell bench presses...I always do dumbbell when I get heavy to allow my bad shoulder to have some room to save itself in my motion. I have never tried the floor dumbbell press, I think I will give them a try with very light weight and see what my shoulder thinks...over the years since I screwed my shoulder I have learned to lift pretty heavy (the added muscle mass gets me near 90% rehabbed) but just any movement that hurts I avoid.
"Floor Exercises Are Killing Your Gains"... Its coming 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
This is the most benificial push video I have ever seen. I just tried all 3. Brilliant and safe!
Is Jeff’s gym public or just for filming?
Jeff’s gym is inside his house it’s not public
KC Mitchell is such a humble man. Love it
