could you also do one for ohp? its really hard to find a lot of proper information on ohp seems like its kinda neglected and no one cares about it sine its not in the "big 3"
Subbed, thank you so much. Ive wasted so much time experimenting with my bench for so long. This series really helped me understand the fundamentals of a great bench setup and cleared up a lot of questions i had.
Very helpful series. I've been trying to figure this stuff myself for weeks without much succes and this made me feel good with my bench pretty much instantly. I'll be sure to check out squat and deadlift pillars too.
Awesome Series Chad, Marisa I such an amazing lifter. Enjoyed the Squat series as well. Thank you for putting out great content, looking forward to the deadlift series.
These videos are so amazingly useful!! I had so much trouble benching and I thought it was because I was weak and I didn't like doing it all. After watching the first two videos it quickly became my favorite lift :D
Point of clarification please - leg drive is a new concept for me. Do you initiate leg drive at the beginning of a set and maintain throughout, or initiate /release leg drive with each rep e.g. to guide bar path?
These videos have been so helpful - but I do have a question regarding leg drive that I'm having trouble nailing down. I am a newish (1yr training) powerlifter, tall with long femurs so I have my feet more forward than back. Watching lifters similar to me (Sheri Miles for example) and I can never see the leg drive even though I know they must be using it :/ I'm having issues with timing my leg drive with my press.
This "surge of energy" that Chad talks abut kinda makes it seem like you should only use leg drive after you've touched your chest/paused and you're ready to push the bar back up. I was under the impression that the leg drive should always be active from the moment you unrack the bar. Could someone clarify for me?
Two different ways this will generally work. Someone with a big arch will basically be at 10 (out of 10) tension in their legs throughout the lift. Those with less arch, will want to have more of a 5-6 tension as they bring the bar down and then drive to 10 tension as they push. Make sense?
What should I do if I do all the back excersises for the bench, but my right shoulder still flips slightly back when I retract and depress the scapula?
Do size of the breasts change the ROM? surely a women with small breasts has a huge increase in ROM? what rules if any are there about this regarding implants, bra's etc
There are no rules outside of the movement. That's why some have 1 foot arches. I have long arms, a crap arch and no boobs, lol. I just have to get stronger and refine my technique. I've seen some men with great arches too, not as many but if the rules allow it, it's fair play.
Sick vid, but the bar path illustration goes the wrong way! It should curve the other way, going over the shoulders first, then up. (See the Nuckols articles he references for more.)
No fat layer in the world will ever shorten the range of motion by 4 - 5 inches. What if she had decided to have her breasts done twice or thrice the size, so that the range of motion would be like 3 inches?
Yeah but why does it matter to you? She’s competing against other women, who may or may not have big breasts, real or fake. She’s not competing against you, so I don’t understand the comment. I also wonder if her boobs were real if the comment would still be made? It’s not like she got breast implants purposely to shorten the range of motion. And speaking of the ROM juggernaut said themselves she has one of the longest ROM in IPF worlds among her weight class.
Looking foward for deadlift pillar1-5!
That'll start in 2-3 weeks.

Brilliantly structured content. Really well focused on the key points that lifters need to know. Cant wait for the deadlift series.
Found one of your videos recommended by someone on reddit and I've just finished all the videos in this series. Well structured and concise!

really looking forward to the deadlift pillars now. I feel like the bench series has helped me lift with less elbow pain. Keep these coming guys
Consistently great content. Thanks for sharing!
Great vids. Thank you Chad and Marisa. Looking forward to your deadlift pillars.
i never skip the ads 😊... thanks for picturefit discord i found this channel. this channel is a big gift for me.
Thank you So much for sharing this information in most precise way covering all the details .

Chad, pillars for deadlift! Let's go!
Is a C-cup considered a Two board or a Three board press ?
Just kidding ...This is good info
I think is is a good question for a lot of bigger male powerlifters as well 😂😂
Ha ha ...Just another example of great genetics
you sir, win comment of the year
Randy Gentry leave chad alone, lol.
This is an excellent series. Thank you!
You're very welcome!
Tons of great info from you and your whole team. Thank you Chad.
Thanks for watching
You're welcome.
Great video. Thanks very much.
Thank you.

Want to keep some tension throughout the set but will increase leg drive/tension with the press and then relax it a bit at the top, generally.
Can't wait for the rest awesome.
Amazing video!
Thank you
sailor shoes and lifting rules, it's a lifestyle
Great videos! pls make an incline bench series!
Great video chad!
Ty from Israel..
Very very helpful
Chad always talks about his eyes, but Marissa have nice eyes too
can you explain sinking vs a soft touch and how to do bith properly? No video teaches how to sink good....
GOLD

Makes perfect sense! Thanks so much, I appreciate the answer and all the content you guys put out.
where to buy that floral shirt
does anyone know what is the name or model of those adidas sneakers she's wearing? i would like to buy a pair too!
What should I do if I do all the back excersises for the bench, but my right shoulder still flips slightly back when I retract and depress the scapula?
Try a lower trap activation exercise, like this:

I think we all know why Marrisa hits so high on her chest
Do size of the breasts change the ROM? surely a women with small breasts has a huge increase in ROM? what rules if any are there about this regarding implants, bra's etc

I am going to get shoulder implants to give me a 2" ROM
The distance is the same, it's the length of your arms
Sick vid, but the bar path illustration goes the wrong way! It should curve the other way, going over the shoulders first, then up. (See the Nuckols articles he references for more.)
Didn't know my bench was this awful until i saw these videos
cool shoes, Chad :D
No J-curve? 🤔
2:50
5:00
Juggernaut Do you breathe in your belly too for bench? Thks
Odd question but the breast implants clearly help reduce her ROM right?
I wish I had leg drive ... ugh
marissa is a badass.
High touch point. Lulz
Step 1: Get breast implants.
Nuke Whales can't wait to see Larry wheels new d cups
It’s literally no different than some dudes who are barrel chested or overweight.
No fat layer in the world will ever shorten the range of motion by 4 - 5 inches. What if she had decided to have her breasts done twice or thrice the size, so that the range of motion would be like 3 inches?
Roxy Rhodes except a barrel chest isn't an implant. She's obviously strong AF, but if the ROM was larger she wouldn't be able to lift as much...
Yeah but why does it matter to you? She’s competing against other women, who may or may not have big breasts, real or fake. She’s not competing against you, so I don’t understand the comment.
