Yoo uploading this on my bday! A thumbs up or a comment would make a great bday gift! Appreciate the support as always guys! Here's to your next bench PR 🤜
I just got 185x3 a few days ago. Hopefully I will come back to this by the end of the year and we both hit 225 for a few reps. Good luck keep grinding my man
The hitch in his shot is reducing his gains in shots made. He's only 5'5", and that hitch probably adds 0.2 sec to his shot, which makes it easier to block. A fluid motion would reduce the time a defender has to get a hand in the way.
Watched this video right around when it came out a year ago. I've done nothing but focus on my form, and of course eating very well. Around that time I was benching 185x5 and that was super difficult. 215x1 was about my max. Just hit 255x1 about a week ago. and can rep 225x5 now. 1 year update: new one rep max is 285x1 Another progress report: 300lbs for 1 on bench. 255x5, 225 for 11.5 reps. I'm on track for 315lbs flat bench by years end. Since my last comment I've gone from 188lbs of body weight to about 194lbs while also chopping my percent body fat down. at 5.11" I'm 194lbs, with anywhere from as low as 10.4% body fat to 11.5%. I also recently exceeded 100lbs skeletal muscle mass for the first time (my gym offers in body tests which I take once per month.) I would like to see myself at 200lbs flat with the same percent body fat I have now. For a while I was plateaued, and then in June of this year I began taking creatine. Can't say whether it would work for everyone but I have noticed a massive difference in how I perform. That combined with a stronger diet has made me a much more powerful lifter. My squat this year has gone from 335lbs for 1 in April, to 405 as of just a few days ago (using leg wraps and belt). HUGE UPDATE 8/2024: Age 26 now. I've been plateaued at 300lbs max bench press for a while, but I've also dealt with multiple health concerns over the past 2 years. I feel older now when I workout and I can feel that my energy levels are much different. This might be ageing, but I also suspect 2 things. The big one is I ended up with Mono last year that went undiagnosed for a long time. I made the mistake of rigorously working out through all the fatigue I was feeling, and I definitely shouldn't have done that. My liver enzymes were crazy high (I don't drink or smoke) and before we concluded I had mono, my doctor thought the creatine might be impacting my enzyme levels. So I stopped taking that for a while and tbh that sucked. I lost a lot of weight (went from 197 to 188) in about 2 months and my gains TANKED. To make matters worse, I also got an upper respiratory infection that was quite literally the sickest I have ever been. Surprisingly wasn't covid, but I had a fever of 103 for 2 days and over the course of that week I lost the bulk of that weight. So now it's 2024, I'm still dealing with intermittent random bouts of fatigue due to mono ( it never really goes away). But as for my physical health I have worked myself back up to a 300lb bench and am strong. 315 still has to happen and it will. Still young enough!
Female weightlifter here! I've never truly focused on the bench press because, let's be honest, it's intimidating to some, haha. But I just scored a 100lb bench the other day following these tips, and I'm super stoked. It's not much in comparison to many lifters out there, but it's huge for me! Excited to keep going with it.
We’re lucky to have somebody like you going through all the research and breaking it down for us. Thank you. I’m new to lifting so your videos really do clear things up. Thanks again.
I watched this video a few months ago as a beginner female lifter. Had never benched before and was just learning how. Rapidly got from light dumbbells to the 45lb bar. Now able to bench 85lbs x 2; 75lbs x 8. Thanks Jeff!
Tried this out, and I can definitely feel it in my pecs, and it's so much easier for my shoulders! I'm a little annoyed with myself for not knowing this, but I'm glad that Jeff showed me what I was doing wrong
The arc tip single-handedly changed the bench press for me. I've only started a month back but this is the first time I've ever felt my chest being worked. I am so grateful, thank you.
It's really kind of crazy how much proper form and technique will help you. Same goes for all exercises, but bench was one of the most noticeable for me
Holy crap, this made a huge difference. I knew wide grip made my chest feel better and being worked on but the angle you bench is a HUGE improvement and it feels so much more natural. Thank you! My shoulders hurt less now
Dude bench press is always done with shoulder grip and if your shoulder hurts than either your form is incorrect or you dont make an arch in your back.
@@arslaanpasha3334Or the shoulders are in an uncomfortable position for him with a shoulder width grip? Have dropped a barbell on ur head or some shit you’re dumb
Hey Jeff, I watched this video six months ago and I have been working on it and increased my bench from 265 to 300 this morning! Fixing the bar path and getting the correct back arch we’re huge for me. Thank you!!!
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.
I was benching straight up and straight down. Injured my front delt and trap badly. 9 months out and it’s still sore. This video is very important. Thank you
@@RagingRider That's straight up saying that there is no way to prevent injuries. There are ways to prevent all injuries, even thought you're likely to experience a few in your lifetime.
@@laurikotivuori1585 i have torn the ligament in my front delt many years ago, it wasnt caused by form, it was by training too hard and not allowing myself to recover properly before doing it again. Injuries ARE going to happen, the best athletes in the world still experience them, while most can be avoided some cant as accidents happen, we're only human after all.
@@publiovirgilio2238 my personal best is 31 reps with 100kg after 185kg 1rep done in march 22. In my opinion doing 100 for reps is way easier after 1rep max is done .
@@Kinglobo and i am struggeling with hitting 1x bodyweight bench as my 1RM now is 25kg. I'm 14Y old, 160cm at a 40kg BW and 30 days in the gym. any tips...
I just hit a 215 pound bench, I have a goal of 300 pounds, ideally within the next 2 years. I haven't paid attention at all to form over the last year - this is super helpful.
@@destro1989 no it's him recording editing posting and hearting these comments he wrote his programs and books too this is his full time job as a bodybuilder youtube videos training resources programs and competitions
Thank you so much for this. For YEARS I've been through so much frustration after doing a set and feeling all the burn in my front delts and I could not figure out why. I guess it had to do with that "moment arm" and going straight up, so many videos teaching that way but none discussing the path of the bar going up. Thanks for this man
It’s said that most have weak triceps and lats . We are quite shoulder dominant and that manifests itself bench pressing . Get a big strong back and triceps to overrule the front delts dominance
6:33 Thank yo, thank you, thank you! I have long supported this theory through self-knowledge and I have had so many discussions with "professionals" about it that they dismiss it as nonsense. there is no need to focus on repetitions during an entire training phase of several weeks. it works great and even better to vary them from unit to unit.
wow, these comments are insanely idiotic. these are literally basic fundamental tips from a guy who benched 400 lbs, and there are scrawny kids benching 135 telling him that hes wrong lmao. cant help some people
I do chest once a week. I have been stuck at my max forever. I always felt like that it was never enough if I wanted to increase my max especially because I don't even get chest muscle soreness. I will try 2 times now and use these tips. Maybe bump it up 3 if 2 is successful.
Look into Greg nuckols 3 day bench beginning I’m running it right now and I’m loving it’s it’s basically a 8 rep day 6 rep day and a 4 rep day and the last set is an amrap and the resualts from the amrap dictate if you go up in weight next week or not.
Probably create a little more of an arc in your back, retract your scapula more, and push your chest out more. Impossible not to feel the chest, even if you dont have it very developed yet.
@@MikeY-fd6wm I have enough of arc. I don't do a huge arc as I feel that is cheating and shortening the range of motion too much. Too much arc also feels more like I am making it more decline. I also feel like too widen of the grip is little bit cheating. I retract the scapula because I was told that in another video. Gonna try more work and changing the angle more upward like this guy in the video said. I am definitely more into bodybuilding than powerlifting but I would like to see chest improvement especially the upper chest. I got a pretty good lower chest and center line cut but the upper chest is a weakness for me. Not on par with my other body parts.
When I get plateaus like that I start training with different rep styles (explosive, eccentric focus, high rep, slow tempo, 1 RIR, failure, etc.). And go sometimes even 20-40lbs lighter. Essentially just focusing on control and stability. I’m sure you do this, but incline dumbbell bench press can also help with overcoming the strength plateau. I would also say to change your frequency/exercises around. Cheers 🥂
I just hit 225lbs/100kg for 5 reps the other day. It was my first ever attempt to lift two plates. This motivates me to push harder and blow up my bench press, thanks!
4 years late to this party, but had to take a minute to thank you for sharing this. I didn't start lifting until age 41. For 3 years I struggled to get my bench press above 200 lbs. 2 days ago, by following the techniques and form demonstrated in this video, not only did I break past 200 lbs, I hit 250 lbs. For me, this is incredible. Just a single rep, but it was a huge milestone for me. THANK YOU!
Widening your grip really helps. I used to lift just outside shoulder width (pinky on line) then went all fingers out the line on bar. Felt more work on my pecs and got my bench up to 225 for 3. Amy chest feels bigger as well
Hi Jeff, I hope you can answer this for me: Shortening the range of motion makes a lot of sense for powerlifters who want to win their meets but is that really beneficial to us for the purpose of getting stronger and bigger? In almost all other lifting scenarios we tend to say that shortening the range of motion is a bad thing. There might be something I'm missing. Also, happy birthday! Thanks for all the fantastic videos.
From a muscle building perspective there’s a trade off. Shortening the ROM slightly (all else equal bad for growth) will allow for more overload (all else equal good for growth). I personally think the slight reduction in ROM on the bench gives you so much more loading potential that it is net positive in this case. This is especially true if you simply include another exercise with a larger ROM such as a cable flye or DB press to compensate 👍🏼 that said, you should generally be seeking to maximize ROM, but in certain cases where a slight reduction gives a big pay off in load (arching in the bench press, using a sumo DL stance, etc.), shortening the ROM actually makes sense.
@@JeffNippard I think longevity should be taken into consideration. Think medium grip allows most of people to lift pain free whereas some lifters can not tolerate wide grip with their elbows
Mad RESPECT and most sincere THANKS 🙏🏻 to you for making this bench press bar path video with advice with visuals. I am now bench pressing 3x week, pain free, per your protocol and following very strict diagonal bar path on descent AND ASCENT (that is the difference maker!) I haven’t been able to bench without pain since my shoulder surgery 15 years ago. Straight bar path on the ascent was killing me!!! Much love and best wishes to you my friend.
My goal is to bench 225 for 1 rep. The other day I hit 145 (my body weight) for 10 reps. I'm finally feeling pretty comfortable benching, even though I realize my weights are low compared to most. Hopefully I can use some of this info to push through to my goal!
Thanks Jeff for this amazing program. ;) For now I have done 2 cycles of this 8 week program and the results are mindblowing for me. Started from 75kg(165lbs) and reached 87,5kg(193lbs) with first cycle. Second cycle took me to 95kg(209lbs). Only things that I changed in this program was using close grip bench instead normal bench press and I skipped lower body days because of my daily job. I have 6′2 183lbs ectomorph style body(small wrists, thin limbs), so my bench has been lacked my entire life. I am looking forward where 3rd cycle will took me. :)
Today is gonne be my 100kg PR attempt, wanne hit it so bad before next year. My current PR was 85kg in June. This video will help me for sure, thanks Jeff!
Thought id check back in. Followed your advise very closely regarding initiating lift towards the face. This seemingly small detail took me from 105kg (230lb) x5 with pause to 117.5kg (260lb) x5 with pause in the space of 2 months (76kg body weight). For perspective, I've been lifting (very inconsistently) for 11 years so this is insane for me and I cant thank you enough.
Jeff, thank you for making this video. I'm 15 currently stuck at 135lb 1RM, I've been stuck on 135lb's for about 7 months and I haven't made any progress. I've only been working out for almost a year and a half and im already plateauing majorly on bench press, I'm eating up to 200g of protein per day, 3k+ calories, and high carbs to have more glycogen in my muscles. I've widened my grip enough to where im not limiting range of motion but getting a good good stretch on my pecs, and ive tried straight sets, pyramid sets, reverse pyramid sets, and I still haven't made progress. I train chest 2-3 times a week and I dont neglect other accessories for bench press too, I go hard on biceps, go hard on triceps, shoulders, and I even have rest weeks where I dont go to failure and stay at a 6-8rpe. What do I do? If I've been working out for like 20 years that would make sense I would see barely any progress, but I'm still on my first year, I'm only 15, 6 foot tall, 140lbs. I'm just lost. And I forgot to mention my form is good, i've recorded myself benching and it looked good though I will check my bar path from now on.
I have the answer. You're 140 pounds. Eat more. I'm 6'1 and have never weighed less than probably 180. If you already eat a healthy diet and aren't hungry enough to eat more, just eat a couple Oreos a day. This will put you in a slight surplus.
the bar path was definitely something I did wrong and felt it was wrong all the time but never got to figure it out, thanks a lot for these tips can't stress enough how this is changing my bench
I’m not a body builder (just not my goal) so I am not going to use all of this, but the change in bar path immediately helped me with shoulder pain. Love the content!!
I used to bench press as a Teen, when I was 16 I used to do BBP with 85 kg while bw was somewhere between 65-67 kg (176 cm height) which was pretty good, but until I didn't lift 110 kg 1RM (107.5 was 1 rm), I was always thinking of myself as being a weak. Now after almost 7 or 8 years, I decided to return to Powerlifting when I saw some Bench press cup. I hope I can return to at least lifting 100 kg. Thank you for your free specialization
I hit 185 on bench with slightly improper form which was likely to injure me so I spent a bit of time working on my form and now I can only do 170. It’s hard on the mental but I would rather not have busted shoulders when I’m older so ig it’s worth it
I'm discovering your channel right now across a related video, im trainer on strength and gymnastics for the last 8 years and with this first video I can see how professional you work, congrats for the form and info, I think now I'm ready to spend hours watching all your content giving you some likes and feedbacks! Peace !
One thing I like to do is at the top of my rep, I drop the weight with zero resistance, and then I catch it a few inches above my chest. Usually you will push against the bar and gradually lower it. Don’t gradually lower, don’t push against it, let it drop and then catch it. This will really put stress on your chest to have to brace the falling weight and then push it back up immediately. I choose not to bring it all the way down bc it puts more stress on the shoulders. Another secret I have is I take two dumb bells and hold them vertical. I keep my elbow in towards my body and I squeeze the two dumbbells together as hard as I can while I do a press. The combo of squeezing and pressing really targets the chest
So I tried this out tonight when I was doing bench. I swear I’ve never felt the workout in my chest as much as I did tonight by following the advice in this video. The best part it felt natural when I was doing the lift.
I am 6'6'' tall and have a 7' wingspan. I try to grip the bar at a point where my arm is perpendicular to the the floor. However, This technique is consistent with pure powerlifting technique, so I am sticking to it. I have also translated these tips into the inclined bench press (both bar & dumbbells)
Excellent video, so many people not only bench but lift improperly over all. You never hear anyone talk about body mechanics. Probably the most important when lifting especially when lifting big. Great job
Thanks again for the excellent technique advice videos. Since watching them I've gone from a decade of shoulder issues to benching as much as I've ever managed. Looking forward to PB's soon!
Thank you for explaining this. It has always felt more "natural" for me to move the bar back towards my face when at the bottom and then up but it never seemed to be the right way but now I know that the natural way was right. Also, wide grip has made such a huge difference to my lift too.
I was able to go from around 130 to 180 in 2-3 months. I was stuck on 170 for a while (around my body weight). But when I started to change up my reps, I started to see much more gains and muscle development. I started doing 7 Reps of low weight (120) 3 reps of medium weight (160) Then 1RM high weight (170-180). It is working pretty well.
Well hell fire shit, Leroy! First time that I’ve been able to do barbell flat bench press pain free in years. Changed my bar bath [specifically on the ascent] like you recommended and widened my grip. Thank you so much!!!
One tip for benchers out there: As you try a wider grip, experiment with wrist rotation when gripping the bar. Some people grip a bar like a bulldog (inward rotation) others neutral/outward rotation. This affects the point of balance over the wrist (tilt wrist towards head or straight wrist "into" bar) and also activates different pectoral/shoulder connectors more or less. I competed with a wide grip but outward rotated grip (think bent bar bicycle grip) rather than the bulldog-feet-grip many use. This often allows both novice and experienced benchers to find a better natural range of motion since the varying grip (rotation of hands) means people who have a poor elbow position (as seen from above when lying down), often too high/close to the shoulder level, reach the optimal angle throughout the motion easier. Aim for 45-60 degrees of shoulder angle outwards (armpit as measuring point) when benching. You may now proceed to bench more or simply feel the pectorals working more throughout the lift. / Ex elite powerlifting coach (Nice to see some proper information regarding lifts at last. Forums full of broscience ain't helping humanity in the gym. Keep up the great videos but I do suggest an even more in-depth version of each with focus on important details beyond the typical basics for those who want to take it further!)
Damn. So today I decided to follow this advice after some time of plateauing on bench presses and added some leg drive and arch and generally more focus on the bar path, just to try it out. Just wanted to do a top set of like three reps of 100 kg, which is heavy for me, and then go down. But then I just did three sets of six reps at 100 kg, which is way better than I've ever done on the bench, just with a little tweaking of the technique. I knew technique plays a large role in bench presses, but damn, I didn't expect it to be that much. Thanks for the tips, they definitely help a LOT!
Not sure if I can make more easily understandable. First, the bar path. Try not to lift the bar in a path that goes straight down and up to the ground, but rather in an angle, a bit like if you did an incline press. Do a bit of an arc, and try to follow those arcs Jeff shows in the video. Step 2 is self-explanatory, I think. Just grip the bar wider. Step 3 is also clear, just do more bench presses. More workouts with bench presses, more volume, more intensity. Step 4 is doing top sets. So let's say you're normally doing three sets of 8-10 reps, maybe do the first set with a much higher weight for just two or three reps instead. The idea is to get used to heavy weights and building confidence. I hope that helped a little.
Holy sh*t! i've been lifting for quite sometime. My deadlifts and squats are not far off intermediate level. For the longest time i've been aware my bench press has been lagging behind. Proper 'poverty bench'. This explains it, i've been doing 'guillotine press' with my index fingers o the inside of the rough part of the barbel grip. Man, i'm excited to get my bench weight up after this. Thank you so much Jeff!
Thank you! I've been trying to get the form down since i started going to the gym 1 month ago... Now i know all of my mistakes, can't wait to bench tomorrow :)
I just made a breakthrough with my bench :D I thought I was stuck at 65kgs but turned out I need this thing called leg drive or soneshit and apparently I can bench 80kgs

Dude bench press is always done with shoulder grip and if your shoulder hurts than either your form is incorrect or you dont make an arch in your back.
@@arslaanpasha3334Or the shoulders are in an uncomfortable position for him with a shoulder width grip? Have dropped a barbell on ur head or some shit you’re dumb
Hey Jeff, I watched this video six months ago and I have been working on it and increased my bench from 265 to 300 this morning! Fixing the bar path and getting the correct back arch we’re huge for me. Thank you!!!

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.
I was benching straight up and straight down. Injured my front delt and trap badly. 9 months out and it’s still sore. This video is very important. Thank you
Injuries are going to happen from time to time in the gym,its not always form that causes them.

Thank you so much for this. For YEARS I've been through so much frustration after doing a set and feeling all the burn in my front delts and I could not figure out why. I guess it had to do with that "moment arm" and going straight up, so many videos teaching that way but none discussing the path of the bar going up. Thanks for this man
The burn in your front delts is also probably maybe you’re not retracting your shoulder blades and dropping your elbows? But yeah bar path is huge
It’s said that most have weak triceps and lats . We are quite shoulder dominant and that manifests itself bench pressing .
Get a big strong back and triceps to overrule the front delts dominance

@@b4dm0ni
Everyone starts somewhere, just keep consistent.
@@joeydolan2435 wrong you probably don’t even lift
I do chest once a week. I have been stuck at my max forever. I always felt like that it was never enough if I wanted to increase my max especially because I don't even get chest muscle soreness. I will try 2 times now and use these tips. Maybe bump it up 3 if 2 is successful.
Look into Greg nuckols 3 day bench beginning I’m running it right now and I’m loving it’s it’s basically a 8 rep day 6 rep day and a 4 rep day and the last set is an amrap and the resualts from the amrap dictate if you go up in weight next week or not.
Probably create a little more of an arc in your back, retract your scapula more, and push your chest out more. Impossible not to feel the chest, even if you dont have it very developed yet.
@@MikeY-fd6wm I have enough of arc. I don't do a huge arc as I feel that is cheating and shortening the range of motion too much. Too much arc also feels more like I am making it more decline. I also feel like too widen of the grip is little bit cheating. I retract the scapula because I was told that in another video. Gonna try more work and changing the angle more upward like this guy in the video said. I am definitely more into bodybuilding than powerlifting but I would like to see chest improvement especially the upper chest. I got a pretty good lower chest and center line cut but the upper chest is a weakness for me. Not on par with my other body parts.
When I get plateaus like that I start training with different rep styles (explosive, eccentric focus, high rep, slow tempo, 1 RIR, failure, etc.). And go sometimes even 20-40lbs lighter. Essentially just focusing on control and stability. I’m sure you do this, but incline dumbbell bench press can also help with overcoming the strength plateau. I would also say to change your frequency/exercises around. Cheers 🥂
I workout a week per body group is just a maintenance schedule. Like in vacation or if you are feeling sick
Tried these tips yesterday, when you get used to pushing the bar back and up it gets so much more comfortable lifting heavy
I just hit 225lbs/100kg for 5 reps the other day. It was my first ever attempt to lift two plates. This motivates me to push harder and blow up my bench press, thanks!
4 years late to this party, but had to take a minute to thank you for sharing this. I didn't start lifting until age 41. For 3 years I struggled to get my bench press above 200 lbs. 2 days ago, by following the techniques and form demonstrated in this video, not only did I break past 200 lbs, I hit 250 lbs. For me, this is incredible. Just a single rep, but it was a huge milestone for me. THANK YOU!
Widening your grip really helps. I used to lift just outside shoulder width (pinky on line) then went all fingers out the line on bar. Felt more work on my pecs and got my bench up to 225 for 3. Amy chest feels bigger as well
How tall are you?
I thought u shouldn't do wide grip for bench press because increases shoulder injury, I thought the rule of thumb is to never flare ur elbows
Hi Jeff, I hope you can answer this for me: Shortening the range of motion makes a lot of sense for powerlifters who want to win their meets but is that really beneficial to us for the purpose of getting stronger and bigger? In almost all other lifting scenarios we tend to say that shortening the range of motion is a bad thing. There might be something I'm missing.
Also, happy birthday! Thanks for all the fantastic videos.
Josh Stead Good question
From a muscle building perspective there’s a trade off. Shortening the ROM slightly (all else equal bad for growth) will allow for more overload (all else equal good for growth). I personally think the slight reduction in ROM on the bench gives you so much more loading potential that it is net positive in this case. This is especially true if you simply include another exercise with a larger ROM such as a cable flye or DB press to compensate 👍🏼 that said, you should generally be seeking to maximize ROM, but in certain cases where a slight reduction gives a big pay off in load (arching in the bench press, using a sumo DL stance, etc.), shortening the ROM actually makes sense.
@@JeffNippard I think longevity should be taken into consideration. Think medium grip allows most of people to lift pain free whereas some lifters can not tolerate wide grip with their elbows
@@asdasd-jg1re This is my biggest concern I was going to comment on; I'd rather lose 5-10% gains in favor of lack of injury in the long run.

Mad RESPECT and most sincere THANKS 🙏🏻 to you for making this bench press bar path video with advice with visuals. I am now bench pressing 3x week, pain free, per your protocol and following very strict diagonal bar path on descent AND ASCENT (that is the difference maker!) I haven’t been able to bench without pain since my shoulder surgery 15 years ago. Straight bar path on the ascent was killing me!!! Much love and best wishes to you my friend.
My goal is to bench 225 for 1 rep. The other day I hit 145 (my body weight) for 10 reps. I'm finally feeling pretty comfortable benching, even though I realize my weights are low compared to most.
Hopefully I can use some of this info to push through to my goal!

For now I have done 2 cycles of this 8 week program and the results are mindblowing for me. Started from 75kg(165lbs) and reached 87,5kg(193lbs) with first cycle. Second cycle took me to 95kg(209lbs). Only things that I changed in this program was using close grip bench instead normal bench press and I skipped lower body days because of my daily job. I have 6′2 183lbs ectomorph style body(small wrists, thin limbs), so my bench has been lacked my entire life. I am looking forward where 3rd cycle will took me. :)

Thought id check back in. Followed your advise very closely regarding initiating lift towards the face. This seemingly small detail took me from 105kg (230lb) x5 with pause to 117.5kg (260lb) x5 with pause in the space of 2 months (76kg body weight). For perspective, I've been lifting (very inconsistently) for 11 years so this is insane for me and I cant thank you enough.
Jeff, thank you for making this video.
I'm 15 currently stuck at 135lb 1RM, I've been stuck on 135lb's for about 7 months and I haven't made any progress. I've only been working out for almost a year and a half and im already plateauing majorly on bench press, I'm eating up to 200g of protein per day, 3k+ calories, and high carbs to have more glycogen in my muscles. I've widened my grip enough to where im not limiting range of motion but getting a good good stretch on my pecs, and ive tried straight sets, pyramid sets, reverse pyramid sets, and I still haven't made progress. I train chest 2-3 times a week and I dont neglect other accessories for bench press too, I go hard on biceps, go hard on triceps, shoulders, and I even have rest weeks where I dont go to failure and stay at a 6-8rpe. What do I do? If I've been working out for like 20 years that would make sense I would see barely any progress, but I'm still on my first year, I'm only 15, 6 foot tall, 140lbs. I'm just lost. And I forgot to mention my form is good, i've recorded myself benching and it looked good though I will check my bar path from now on.
I have the answer. You're 140 pounds. Eat more. I'm 6'1 and have never weighed less than probably 180. If you already eat a healthy diet and aren't hungry enough to eat more, just eat a couple Oreos a day. This will put you in a slight surplus.
the bar path was definitely something I did wrong and felt it was wrong all the time but never got to figure it out, thanks a lot for these tips can't stress enough how this is changing my bench
Not gonna lie I search this up after not hitting a new max after trying over and over, I used this and hit it, thanks man! ❤

*I was just about to have first bite of my cheat meal then this video comes. Now my dog is really thankful for that cheezy one*
I used to bench press as a Teen, when I was 16 I used to do BBP with 85 kg while bw was somewhere between 65-67 kg (176 cm height) which was pretty good, but until I didn't lift 110 kg 1RM (107.5 was 1 rm), I was always thinking of myself as being a weak. Now after almost 7 or 8 years, I decided to return to Powerlifting when I saw some Bench press cup. I hope I can return to at least lifting 100 kg. Thank you for your free specialization
Happy Birthday Jeff!
I hit 185 on bench with slightly improper form which was likely to injure me so I spent a bit of time working on my form and now I can only do 170. It’s hard on the mental but I would rather not have busted shoulders when I’m older so ig it’s worth it
This video has been the most helpful video I’ve watched on bench. Went from 175 for 2 to 185 for 5 in a matter of weeks.

Happy birthday Jeff!! Hope you have a great day!!! Keep killing it!!
One thing I like to do is at the top of my rep, I drop the weight with zero resistance, and then I catch it a few inches above my chest. Usually you will push against the bar and gradually lower it. Don’t gradually lower, don’t push against it, let it drop and then catch it. This will really put stress on your chest to have to brace the falling weight and then push it back up immediately. I choose not to bring it all the way down bc it puts more stress on the shoulders. Another secret I have is I take two dumb bells and hold them vertical. I keep my elbow in towards my body and I squeeze the two dumbbells together as hard as I can while I do a press. The combo of squeezing and pressing really targets the chest
Lol

Bro I love Jeff Nippard he actually makes everything so easy to understand and he has helped me so much on my journey
This guy actually is the reason why I went from repping 225 for 12 reps to repping 275 for 14 reps. Took me to a 3 plate for 6.
I'm trying to hit the 3 plates. I'm at 285 right now.
Jeff really does have some of the highest quality videos in the industry.
So I tried this out tonight when I was doing bench. I swear I’ve never felt the workout in my chest as much as I did tonight by following the advice in this video. The best part it felt natural when I was doing the lift.
I am 6'6'' tall and have a 7' wingspan.
I try to grip the bar at a point where my arm is perpendicular to the the floor. However, This technique is consistent with pure powerlifting technique, so I am sticking to it. I have also translated these tips into the inclined bench press (both bar & dumbbells)
Happy birthday Jeff! Uploads are top quality !

I was able to go from around 130 to 180 in 2-3 months.
I was stuck on 170 for a while (around my body weight). But when I started to change up my reps, I started to see much more gains and muscle development.
I started doing 7 Reps of low weight (120)
3 reps of medium weight (160)
Then 1RM high weight (170-180).
It is working pretty well.

Cheers Jeff!
One tip for benchers out there: As you try a wider grip, experiment with wrist rotation when gripping the bar. Some people grip a bar like a bulldog (inward rotation) others neutral/outward rotation. This affects the point of balance over the wrist (tilt wrist towards head or straight wrist "into" bar) and also activates different pectoral/shoulder connectors more or less. I competed with a wide grip but outward rotated grip (think bent bar bicycle grip) rather than the bulldog-feet-grip many use. This often allows both novice and experienced benchers to find a better natural range of motion since the varying grip (rotation of hands) means people who have a poor elbow position (as seen from above when lying down), often too high/close to the shoulder level, reach the optimal angle throughout the motion easier. Aim for 45-60 degrees of shoulder angle outwards (armpit as measuring point) when benching. You may now proceed to bench more or simply feel the pectorals working more throughout the lift. / Ex elite powerlifting coach (Nice to see some proper information regarding lifts at last. Forums full of broscience ain't helping humanity in the gym. Keep up the great videos but I do suggest an even more in-depth version of each with focus on important details beyond the typical basics for those who want to take it further!)
Damn. So today I decided to follow this advice after some time of plateauing on bench presses and added some leg drive and arch and generally more focus on the bar path, just to try it out. Just wanted to do a top set of like three reps of 100 kg, which is heavy for me, and then go down. But then I just did three sets of six reps at 100 kg, which is way better than I've ever done on the bench, just with a little tweaking of the technique. I knew technique plays a large role in bench presses, but damn, I didn't expect it to be that much. Thanks for the tips, they definitely help a LOT!
Could you explain that method? I want to take advantage of it
I don't know English and I couldn't understand the explanation in the video. Can you write me the tips in the video?
Not sure if I can make more easily understandable. First, the bar path. Try not to lift the bar in a path that goes straight down and up to the ground, but rather in an angle, a bit like if you did an incline press. Do a bit of an arc, and try to follow those arcs Jeff shows in the video. Step 2 is self-explanatory, I think. Just grip the bar wider. Step 3 is also clear, just do more bench presses. More workouts with bench presses, more volume, more intensity. Step 4 is doing top sets. So let's say you're normally doing three sets of 8-10 reps, maybe do the first set with a much higher weight for just two or three reps instead. The idea is to get used to heavy weights and building confidence. I hope that helped a little.
