    Bench Press Form Check

    *NEW VIDS PG 2 POST 30**


    New Video
    [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctPr6GXO_5g&context=C44bb0fdADvjVQa1PpcFP1 pe1W3LEpxPdDcGCEDowGJsBoBQfscuQ=[/YOUTUBE]
    I filmed the whole thing so you can see my setup. First I try to establish an arch and pinch my shoulder blades together. Then I grip the bar and pull myself up, simultaneously squeezing my shoulder blades/traps together. I maintain that posture and return to the bench, unrack, and start pressing. On heavier sets I will usually get a lift-off. But, as you can see, my left arm isn't pressing the same as my right, and the bar is a bit lopsided.

    If this vid is still bad, just let me know how to better film it. I have a couple more vids with more weight if you're interested in seeing those too.

    For some reason, the bar comes up/goes down unequally. See video; the bar is clearly tilted. Any tips on fixing this? I have a feeling that perhaps my arms aren't tucking equally...however this seems to be something I do subconsciously and have no control over. I was trying to bench with good form in that video. Also, do you see any other issues with form? I was just doing a couple reps with 135 in the video

          Farther away. We cant really see anything. Side view would help also.

                Then it may start with your setup. Do you have your shoulder blades pulled together tightly?

                    Imagine one of bmp's home porn videos, the whole thing would be a shot of her belly button.

                      Lol. This is probably the worst video I've ever seen. Great job getting the worst possible shot of a bench press.

                        Pretty sure there's a "wobble" effect going on there. Was it done while editing the video?

                            Your entire body looks a little off, could be the video but your legs look pretty uneven as well.
