*💪 CLICK THAT NOTIFICATION BELL SO YOU NEVER MISS AN UPLOAD!* There are many bench mistakes that can either lead to an injury, not activating the chest properly for growth, or both. This video will make sure you avoid them all. :-D You can read the full article here! muscularstrength.com/article/eight-Dumbest-Bench-Mistakes-Sabotaging-Your-Chest-Growth
Thank you Scott, you have reminded me of a few things I have been doing wrong which I wasn't even a few weeks ago! I think it is great that you do informative videos even if it goes over old material as it were. it is very helpful, people are very forgetful at times and it is easy to slip into bad habits without realising and things like this are a great resource to help combat that.
When you are juicing as much as him you are most likely lifting much heavier weights which will put more stress on the body. another problem is most of these dudes will still continue to train super heavy even when in a calorie deficit to shred bodyfat. The juice gives them the strength to continue to train heavy but when you are calorie depleted your tendons and muscles are more easily injured.
1. Not retracting shoulders 2. Bouncing barbell 3. Dancing feet 4. Half reps 5. Grabbing the barbell too wide 6. Letting a spotter do too much work 7. Not training lats hard enough 8. Flared elbows Your welcome
+BrandyGameR Not if I constantly tell them to only help when I get stuck for more than 3 seconds trying to push. They aren't listening And paying attention
you say that now, until your luck runs out and you have to explain to the ER doctor reconstructing your Sternum and top 4 rips that "i thought i had enough power left, but i was wrong!" How do i know? I have been there.. spent 6 months not being able to touch a upper body lift because of my broken ribs. Doctors said i was damn lucky i didnt damage or crush my lungs or worse, my heart.
Just finished my first month of gym, 4 days a week. It was an amazing experience. I was ill for 6 years and wasn't allowed to train and I've always wanted to since I was an athlete when he as around 10-13. It feel so great. Anyone who hasn't started, just try it. You might be the skinniest person in the gym like me, but everyone starts somewhere!
Why do many here abuse this man for the way he talks? I have seen some of his videos, he is pretty humble man, and tries to give advice. Why should you bash him like that?
Ali علي people don't realize that if they travel 50 miles they would be the one with the accents. Any sufficiently intelligent person would realize that speaking to someone with an accent would reveal their own.
Dude, I've been watching your vids on main compound excercises and the mistakes you see people make. I must say, you produce very informative, clear instructions and I think this will help a lot of people who don't know what they're doing. I came across topics about flaring etc, and they were always confusing. This cleared it up 100% for me and you've probably saved my rotator cuffs from future injuries. Keep it up man!
Who else makes a video this long just explaining just how to bench press correctly? Scott, you truly care about your subscribers. Thank you, man. This video is very informational!
The only thing I don't like about this videos is that I didn't find them sooner. I've learned to appreciate when someone explains how to avoid shoulder damage. Good job, dude.
You're a life saver. i was at golds gym and I'm this tiny girl that could only bench press10 pounds. i was told not to go all the way down and the barbell wasnt placed directly above my chest. i can tell i was doing it wrong because my shoulders started to hurt. Thanks!!
I've been watching your channel off and on since pretty much the beginning, and it's been awesome to see how much you've learned and progressed. For those of you watching at home, a coach that's willing to learn and grow is a coach you definitely want to follow.
ScottHermanFitness thank you for this video. I bench pressed incorrectly for more than 25 years. My mistake was not retracting shoulders with elbows flared up. I’m a natural body builder, 40yrs old 5’8” 210lbs completely ripped and I wouldn’t listened to you 5 months ago. However, my shoulder separated and I developed a bone spur on my clavicle. To be honest I went to the doctor just to get the clavicle injected with cortisone as I never noticed any pain from shoulder separation. I went to surgery to get the spur removed and to my surprise the doctor also did rotator cuff surgery. The day before surgery I was bench pressing 365lbs , 315lbs , 225lbs etc... 5 months after surgery I’m bench pressing 115 lbs similar to the proper technique due to shoulder pain movement restriction and this video explains me the why. I will incorporate these learnings to my next chest workout. Thanks for all the tips. I have subscribed to your channel and clicked the notification bell. Btw. Please excuse my english grammar as it is my second language.
i am proud to say i do all my reps correctly thanks to your videos .i watch people in the gym and i see what you mean .perfect form for better function .
So much Boston accent here. Staaat with the Baa Heaa and your shoulders pinched to have a slight Aaach in the back. This Taaagets the chest. Don't flare the shoulders and Aams while moving the Baa down.
I have been following you from a long long time may be more than 5 years n trust me u r a genius... best part that u guide to focus on what part of our body are we working on... Thanks buddy... Great work
Thanks for posting this. Definitely saw some errors I've been making in my bench. 2 questions, I'm really out of shape and I'm getting back into the gym working out with my 12 year old son. We are using a basketball work out program i found online since my son wants to play basketball for his school. 1st question, being out of shape I'm having a difficult time trying to figure out what weight to lift. Should i start out light and slowly build up, The other day was our first bench day. We did 3 sets, 10 reps each set. I started with 110pnds, then lowered to 95, then finished with 80pnds. My chest is feeling plenty sore now from it. Should i go up next chest day? 2nd question, my son is 12. he's in excellent shape, but never really lifted before. He also did 3 sets 10 reps each starting with just the bar, then moved to the bar plus 5pnds, then the bar plus 10pnds totaling 55pnds. Is this OK, I'm concerned that he will hurt himself pushing too much weight before he should. Any advise on these would be awesome. thanks
Personally, I feel as though 12 might be a bit earlier for a guy to start lifting but if your son eats enough and has sufficient sleep between each workout it shouldn't be a problem. You should also advise him not to go too heavy as his body is most likely not used to the weight and it might his growth or cause some joint injuries or muscle tears.
He's 135lbs and 5'8 tall. he's a big guy for 12yrs of age. I tend to agree about not lifting too much weight. I dont want him to get too big, were only doing this program to get him in playing shape for middle school basketball. I want him to have a lean but strong and healthy body. Thanks for the advise.
Stunting growth is a Myth.. the only thing that will stunt his grow is lack of nutrition. Everyone complains about "growth plates". you run a MUCH higher risk of damaging them playing football than lifting with proper form in the gym
So awesome you are training with your son. I bet he is loving it! Dad of the year for sure :-D As for you.. just take it easy. Lift moderate weight for rep ranges. This way you can get used to lifting again and wont be sore as heel for a month from the firstworkout. After about 2 - 3 weeks of "going through the motions" with proper form you will be able to start pushing yourself harder. If you want us to look at your program you can post on our site for more help www.MuscularStrength.com. Just make sure you son is eating A LOT.. he is young and needs his calories to grow, plenty of sleep too!
Thanks, I am one of those "stop a few inches above my chest" kind of guys. I was told to do that by a powerlifter body many years ago to avoid shoulder injuries, but I noticed the same thing that you did, which is that I didn't have the power when I tried the full way. I'll work on that on my next chest day with lower weight to see if I can build that. Thanks!
I have such attachments, my body has no reason to activate my chest. Because it can bench press with my triceps and shoulders, and it can incline press with my shoulders. I'm fucked, only exercise I can feel is cable flys and decline plate loaded machine which doesn't exist in my current gym.
Work on concentration of the bench press not just trying to move the weight up and down, make sure you watch your chest flex and stretch and it will Help
+Swolbraham Lincoln i have the same problem in a way. it sometimes has to do with genetics and muscle shape. the shoulder thing he mentioned is really key tho when i did that and focused on press with a curvy line instead of straight, i noticed a big difference tho.
I have been slipping into not touching my chest on bench so thank you Scott for bringing this to my attention! its weird how you know its not right but once you do it once, twice, three times it becomes normal;... thankfully I was only about 3 weeks into doing it!
I am a half rep guy, I feel embarrassed to admit it, I was told that going all the way down to the chest was wrong, but hearing what you said makes a lot of sense. Damm now I gotta rethink my whole strength now
Brb09 Or he's no longer hiding it, or perhaps he's been spending lots more time around other heavy Boston accent guys. If you come from somewhere with a distinct accent... it can be hard to shake.
thx scott, ur knowledge has inspired me to become a more self motivating, confident person all starting by building a confident body, i hope ur channel continued success and may u inspire more ppl like the way u inspired me :)
I smash bench compared to other people in the gym not just for my bodyweight but in pure kgs. Always put it down to a good training program and great technique that others lacked. I can say that you got this video spot on and the results from these techniques are absolutely proved in real life. Subscribed.
That first one, I tried to make sure I was in the right position with the shoulders retracted. The difference is immediate. I had no idea I was doing it wrong for so long, haha. Most fitness youtubers wouldn't even bring it up.
You know your shit. Your reasons of why the different forms are bad are spot on. What do you think about close grip bench pressing, with the bar or dumbbells? I tend to use dumbbells and keep the together throughout the range of motion.
great video Scott! I once was asked to spot a man at my gym flat benching 100lb dumbells. The asshole made ME do the majority of the work and didn't even complete a single repetition. I confronted him about it and he said, and i quote, "that's what a spotter is for."
I've been working out chest for over a decade and I was able to pick up some good information that I didn't know prior to watching this video. Great job and thank you!
yeah I wish UA-cam had been a thing when I first started benching. a lot of elbows flaring, grip too wide, benching over my shoulders, not using my triceps, people saying the bottom of the rep can cause shoulder damage, all this bullshit. great video Scott, saving people's rotator cuffs one tip at a time haha
Heyyy Scott, I just noticed that you mentioned on your old video on how to BP that the bar should not be touching your chest and your elbow should not exceed 90degrees. Very helpful videos tho!
Another fantastic video. I'm happy to know Im not making any of these mistakes after your Vs video the other week but I like the raising the legs idea. Might try that next time. Thanks always Scottie. Maybe one day you will be in Australia and I can shake your hand.
I lost it at 8:14! Lol, "doing bull sh*t like this....." Sounds like me trying to train my brother. I lose my temper when people do dumb ass moves like that while lifting.
my God SHF I've done the shortening and not touching the chest. I'm not going for powerlifting but muscle building. holy crap now I can make proper gains

Do you mean fruit or vegetable juice and which is best.
By juice he meant steroids... U can drink both vegetable as well fruit juice .. :P
I honestly can't stand your annoying accent.
1. Not retracting shoulders
2. Bouncing barbell
3. Dancing feet
4. Half reps
5. Grabbing the barbell too wide
6. Letting a spotter do too much work
7. Not training lats hard enough

Sounds closer to a Boston accent.
+Emil Visti I say Australian
Well, Scott is from Massachusetts, so you'd just be wrong.
Screw this. Let the man talk the way he wants!
Great tips Scott, every single guy in my gym would need to see this video lol

Thanks for the tips, I always had a shoulder pain after doing bench press. 8th tip helped me :) thanks again :)
Boston accent is so funny lol
The baaaaahr
it sounds fake af and over exaggerated and it's annoying af
It sounds like a FAKIN AUSTRALIAAAN, PUT AANOTHER SHRIMP ON THE BARBEEHHH
It's so put on and annoying. Watch his old videos, he used to pronounce barbell like a normal person
+Jakson McLane be quiet no it isn't
The only thing I don't like about this videos is that I didn't find them sooner. I've learned to appreciate when someone explains how to avoid shoulder damage.
Good job, dude.
Thanks so much for you videos, bro! Keep on postng! I am brain operated and have motor skills problem. Your posts keep me going! 😎
So happy to hear that Alvin! Thank you so much for the support!

wait... what is a bahbell?
What about Lat exercises? Just asking
i ll try to do a vid.
Wow man, #7 is so obvious that I can’t believe I didn’t realize the role the lats play at the bottom of the bench press. Thanks!
great post. I knew something was wrong with my bench press. I didn't realize just how wrong it was. thanks for sharing
Can you make a list of Deadlifts Mistakes?
alright, noted!
+ScottHermanFitness thank you :)
the most confusing boston accent ever
+Nate you realize the Boston accent changes depending on where in MA you live right?
He never had the accent before. ??
One of your best videos, Scott. Great instructions and very thorough. Also, you're not so angry in this video.. :)
Full agreement on the isolation technique of lifting the feet. I find crossing the ankles while lifting the knees helps focus.
So much Boston accent here. Staaat with the Baa Heaa and your shoulders pinched to have a slight Aaach in the back. This Taaagets the chest. Don't flare the shoulders and Aams while moving the Baa down.
haha your sir made me lol.
It does seem like his accent is heavier on some days or if you are new to his channel. You do get used to it, I don't even notice it anymore.
+Chris Reynolds lol I don't either but always reminded when I get to the comment section
His accent is just awesome

HEY your videos are very good very informative , you just gotta shorten them a little bit , they are too long in my opinion. Thank you

Very good advice/reminders for any level of lifter. Nicely done.

lol
I am a half rep guy, I feel embarrassed to admit it, I was told that going all the way down to the chest was wrong, but hearing what you said makes a lot of sense. Damm now I gotta rethink my whole strength now
Scott you have great videos brother thanks for all that you do for the UA-cam community
Thanks Jeffrey! Really appreciate the support bro! Will always keep the quality coming!
Not making any gains in the past two years to confuse the body, right babe?
ScottHermanFitness sorry was just teasing you. I apologize if you got offended. I got respect for you dude was just making some internet jokes lol
why? he's like the sweetest guy ever.
cause random hat guy has 0 gainz and you have 1mil subs so hes angry at your success
He's natural and looks damn good as fuck, right babe?
Thanks for the apology. But maybe next time be more positive :-D right babe? :-D
WTF is this accent all of a sudden? Is this normal?
He's from the Boston area. That's the accent.
yea but he didn't have it that thick in his older videos. Sounds forced now. kinda distracting.
Brb09 Or he's no longer hiding it, or perhaps he's been spending lots more time around other heavy Boston accent guys. If you come from somewhere with a distinct accent... it can be hard to shake.
the bahbell
D rB a
Finally making proper progress without the pain because of all your videos m8. TY TY
So happy to hear that Petey! Keep up the great work! Are you doing the 12 week program too? Lot's of people are enjoying it and seeing GAINS!
thank you. this explains the pain in my shoulder when doing the bench
What I like about Scott Herman is that he demonstrates exercises. Some videos have a lot of talking and no demonstration.
Thanks Scott. I don't feel anything in my shoulder now, just had a chest workout yesterday. ITS ALL CHEST. YEAHHHH
thx scott, ur knowledge has inspired me to become a more self motivating, confident person all starting by building a confident body, i hope ur channel continued success and may u inspire more ppl like the way u inspired me :)

I have had shoulder injury before. I think i'll try these tips. Like the flat back and shoulders more down. Thanks Scott!
awesome! :D
I just bought a bench for my home and I really enjoyed your video. Thank you very much for your help :)
This video is what made me finally decide to subscribe to Scott's Channel. Good work brother.
That first one, I tried to make sure I was in the right position with the shoulders retracted. The difference is immediate. I had no idea I was doing it wrong for so long, haha. Most fitness youtubers wouldn't even bring it up.
You know your shit. Your reasons of why the different forms are bad are spot on.
What do you think about close grip bench pressing, with the bar or dumbbells? I tend to use dumbbells and keep the together throughout the range of motion.
i started saying Baaahbell now as well ... good videos .. keep it up!
great video Scott! I once was asked to spot a man at my gym flat benching 100lb dumbells. The asshole made ME do the majority of the work and didn't even complete a single repetition. I confronted him about it and he said, and i quote, "that's what a spotter is for."
yea i ve had such cases as well!
Hey Man, just want to say thanks so much for putting this video together. Super helpful. Much appreciated!
thanks scott gonna try and work on my form some....bench press is a very tricky lift to conquer
ONE MILLION SUBSCRIBERS! Congrats Scott!
I've been working out chest for over a decade and I was able to pick up some good information that I didn't know prior to watching this video. Great job and thank you!
although I already know some of common mistakes in bench press still this is very helpful tnx man.
The dancing feet...lol I'm one of those that do that. Thanks for the helpful tip.
Outstanding level of guidance.
Great information about bench Pressing, I'm about to try this out today. You might had fix my bench problem :)
I really needed to see this video. Thank you
I like how he said "BAHBELL, FIBAH, AHMS." :)
I started watching this video when it was published and I am now finishing it
Thanks for this video , i was holding the bar to wide and was having a really hard time progressing.
yea...well not any more!
this video is perfect:) been looking for something like this about benchpress. thank you very much :)
Great video. I knew I was doing something wrong. The shoulder error it is common error on my trainings. Thanks.
Great information Scott, thank you. Regards from Brazil
Scott, I had no idea you were from Boston until this video. It really comes out when the bahbell comes down to your chest. That's awesome :D
What a great video, it's summarise everything my trainer is teaching me about bench press. Thank you!
I made all those mistakes in the past but now I'm improving because people like you..well I'm improving my english too..thanks!!
awesome! your english is great man!
+ScottHermanFitness THANKS!!!
Great, informative video with so many key points. I need to keep coming back to it for reference especially on my chest days. Thanks Scott.
yeah I wish UA-cam had been a thing when I first started benching. a lot of elbows flaring, grip too wide, benching over my shoulders, not using my triceps, people saying the bottom of the rep can cause shoulder damage, all this bullshit. great video Scott, saving people's rotator cuffs one tip at a time haha
yeap i know what you re saying...well its never too late haha
Thanks, Good information for people like me who want to start working out.
Heyyy Scott, I just noticed that you mentioned on your old video on how to BP that the bar should not be touching your chest and your elbow should not exceed 90degrees. Very helpful videos tho!
Can you make a video of breathing during weightlifting and when to breathe in and out for proper form?
Cheers for another good video Scott. Hope you're well mate
thanks a lof for your classes, i'm learning a lot with your videos, thanks a lot from Spain.
awesome man! i m glad!
Another fantastic video. I'm happy to know Im not making any of these mistakes after your Vs video the other week but I like the raising the legs idea. Might try that next time. Thanks always Scottie. Maybe one day you will be in Australia and I can shake your hand.
awesome! glad to hear it! maybe one day!
Almost a million dude !!! Thanks for those videos they are really good. Cheers
so pumped!!
Very clear and useful!! Thanks Scott
Omg. I'm realising so many mistakes that I'm making after watching these videos!
Great video Scott! Very informative. Thank you
I'm newbie. This clip is so useful. Thanks so much bro!
"If you're doing bullshit like this" 😂😂😂😂 you're awesome dude, very informative yet funny at the same time. Thank you for your advice
I have always wondered about wide vs medium grip thank you so much.
Happy to help bro!!
I really needed this video!! Can't wait to improve my bench game 😁
oh yea!
I lost it at 8:14! Lol, "doing bull sh*t like this....." Sounds like me trying to train my brother. I lose my temper when people do dumb ass moves like that while lifting.
my God SHF I've done the shortening and not touching the chest. I'm not going for powerlifting but muscle building. holy crap now I can make proper gains
great advice I was doing this wondering why my chest was far behind the rest of my body
just do a thousand push ups every day or every two days
