Bench Press Form Hack THAT WORKS!

[SquatUniversity]

How wide is your bench press grip? Did you know moving it to 2x clavicle length may provide MORE STRENGTH!

Shout out @muscleandmotion for the amazing anatomy graphics, @liztess for her bench press vid & @jenthompson132 for the education/collab!

Came for the muscle mommy left because of the bench press advice

I use 3 placements and this makes so much sense, thanks!

There are 2 big reasons to watch this short on repeat.

What a great informative video. The more you post these types of videos, the more I’m inclined to join your Skool. I often preach to people my blueprint of success, which is: EVERYDAY sleep 8 hrs, eat ONLY whole foods, only drink zero-cal beverages, mostly water, get 10k steps with 45 mins of physical activity. Finally, the cherry on top is getting resistance training 3x a week. Every single solitary human can make this happen. Weak minded people are great at making excuses and insults, but they suck at taking accountability and finding solutions.

These videos always give me two of my favorite things: a deeper knowledge of physiology and exercise and a semi

If you notice, that's why on the bar there are smooth shiny sections about a 1/4 inch wide.
Spaced on each side of bar to help in this concept.

This is a nice hack but if u want to know why this is actually the case its because the optimal grip width is when ur forearms are perpendicular to the ground at the point when your numerous is parallel to the ground. If your forearms are cambered slightly out at this point then ur grip is too wide lengthening the lever arm more than you need to for the movement. If your forearms camber in then ur putting more of a stretch on the triceps than you need too.

The reason this clavicle trick works for some people is because on average the numerous bone is about the length of the clavicle, and on average most people will have a 45 degree tuck of the elbow meaning the distance your elbow is from your shoulder when viewed from the frontal plane when the humerous bone is at about parallel is roughly half the length of your humerous bone or half the length of our clavicle.

The problem with this is that everyone has different proportions and a different degree of tuck so for someone with narrow shoulders and a long humerous bone this formula would not work.

Thank you for featuring me in this short! Very informative 🙏🙏

Bro *CAN'T* keep getting away with this. 😭

[kris]

Got me again! You coax me in with clickbait and then gave me useful information.

He knows what hes doing with those thumbnail 👀

[gaulac]

It works really well. Check your frames.🎉

I'm 70 now but when I was 28 & 170 lbs I always used a closer grip .max 325 lbs.

[sujitkumarit]

Key: Keep your forearms perpendicular to ground

The content for these videos is always so good that we let the baiting thumbnail’s slide haha. I see you Doc 👀

I thought everyone that bench pressed for at least a few months knew this. Maybe not that you have to measure your collar bone but that adjusting hand placement on the bar bell will eventually lead to the greatest leverage.
