How does one avoid pic related?
>>72291414How many of these threads do we need?Fucks sake
>>72291414just lift the weight off you.
>>72291414Don't bench with an arch like a faggot
>>72291414Do floor presses
>>72291414oh idk, just off the top of my head don't bench in a smith machine ffs
bench in a power rack with safety pins
>>72291414stop pretending you know how to do things that you don't
>>72291414>>72291463>>72291606Can someone explain the point of arching?Doesn't it shorten your RoM?
>>72291414Can anyone provide me the video?
>>72291414have your eyes open all the way
>>72292206Yeah so powershitters can have shorter bar paths and put more weight at any and all costs.
Don't be fucking stupid.
Do incline bench for better aesthetics anyways. Machine flat bench once a week to "balance" it out.
>>72292206I think it is to protect your shoulders even more
>>72292462i bench once a week on chest day anyway
>>72292206A slight arch will help you engage your chest more, and your shoulders less.Weak people or powershitters use big archs to have a small ROM and "lift more".For me, arching a little bit has been a game changer when lifting, feeling the exercise less in the shoulders and more in my chest and triceps.
>>72292529>wanting big tits rather than boulder shoulders>>72292514swap it for incline bench and you'll look much better
>>72292206It's the proper way to bench. Nobody in this thread can even put up 4 plates so they shit on proper form. An exaggerated arch is retarded but you want to be able to have someone be able to slide their hand under your back between your butt and shoulder blades.
>>72291421Until the bench-pressing related deaths stop.
>>72293043Futile on /fit/ where dyels think deadlift is dangerous and will bench without safeties while clipping the bar.
>>72293043wow, that was hard to watch even though ive seen the gore threads on /gif/ the way he flails is unsettling, this happened in china last week correct? was it a small gym that no one was around or what?
>>72293066>bench without safetiesif you can't roll lmao3pl8 on your abs maybe you should do more core
>>72291414>use a spotter>use safety bars>don't test your max when you don't have either of the above>don't put clips on when you benchpretty simple stuff
>>72293086https://youtube.com/shorts/zsYxEzEfbyU?feature=sharedI pull 7 pl8 and squat 6pl8 i think my "core" is just fine.
>>72292206Yes. That's the point of arching. Also, the angle of the arms with the torso includes more muscles in the motion making it easier.
>>72293043Chinese belong in the rice fields not in gyms. That is the natural order. They grow the rice so that Rich can make those gainz.
>>72293043This is why you don't arch your back. Arching doesn't help you gain muscle, it only helps you edge out a little more weight at significantly greater risk. Its practically the definition of ego lifting.
>>72293043he woke up and lifted it at the end
its so fucking sad that only like 10% of people who come to a fitness board actually lift, You are so supposed to arch your back so you dont implode your shoulders, very few people are flexible enough to do a aggressive arch anyway
>>72293227You'd have to deliberately be trying to lie flat to not naturally be making the -tiny and minuscule- arch required to do a proper bench. You idiots will really watch a webm of a bug guillotining himself and be like "UHHHH ASCKUALLY YOU SHOULD BE DOING A BIG ARCH".Also, are you implying you aren't flexible to do a back bridge? My dude...
I never benched in a Smith machine, but everyone saying safties for bench is that really a thing? I grew up in a weightroom- very safety conscious coaching. We always used safties on squats- but we never used safties on bench I mean you always had three spotters around but it just seems to me that on a regular bench it is really easy to tip it over to one side if you got in trouble. The bar doesn't want to balance itself a nudge to one side and its going to tip. Having clips on seems stupid though.
>>72293213Incredible.
>>72293213>>72293346The indomitable human spirit is truly a sight to behold.

>in campus gym>new dyel director for student life says everyone has to use clips>Fat ugly dyel chick comes over and tells me to put clips on>"no">you have to>"no">not 5 minutes after that conversation kid benching 145 (lol) fails and it comes down on his chest>girl struggling and can't row it off him and he is 100% gassed and can't get it up even with her yanking like a retard so they sit there for a minute straight dragging it off of him like assholesI swear dyels are going to kill someone at my school.
>>72293537If they emphasized perfect form and not being a retard around heavy things that can kill you, you would nearly have a clip-free gym. Perfect form implies symmetry and control. You only really need clips for when weights become a disorganized from the lift itself like deadlifts, power cleans, oly lifts. There is no point at all in using them for bench or squats. If you're jackknifing your spine with explosive motions after the real work of the lift is already complete during squats you are certainly a mouth breathing retard and should be sequestered somewhere away from adult humans with dangerous things. Literally no excuse for clips being used at all on bench press.
>>72293705Literally what I told them. The director was going to consider axing the rule starting this week, but I'm just not doing it, period. They can suck my dick.I'm far from Mr. Jacked hugecock, but I'm definitely in the upper bracket of lifters and I told him that it's flat out dangerous and it's not needed besides oly lifts or when plates start flying off on deadlift reps. The women working the front desk (aka useless) aren't going to row 100lbs off a guy, much less 300+. The higher the weight goes, the more dangerous it is and I pointed out that I would rather dump all the weight on the floor and make noise than roll 3 plates over my fucking ribs. >but what if they land on someoneThen that someone should get the fuck away from me when I'm lifting because they're too close.
>>72291421Until you learn, chinaman.
>>72293043what was he listening to, /fit/?
>>72293346>>72293377... you guys know the video is in reverse. He died.
>>72294063I don't believe you.
>>72293213Hilarious.
>>72294063thanks, genius
>>72293705>Literally no excuse for clips being used at all on bench press.barbell is retarded in all instances, nobody ever should use barbell for anything but maybe landmine rows xDIT WAS JUST AN EASY WAY TO LOAD LOTTA WEIGHT IMBECILE, THAT IS NOT HOW HUMAN BODY WORKS, UNILATERAL MOVEMENT IS 10 000 000 TIMES BETTER BECAUSE U CAN COMPARE SIDES AND IMPROVE AD INFINITUM - one of them always suckread and cry for u were always retarded and u did not see it until i showed u
>>72294270What if I need to deadlift
>>72291414I hate RMers.
>>72293043this is going to /dyel/ generals kek
>>72294283That's not very nice Young man. You wouldn't want people keking at you if u killed urself
>>72293043Why didn't the cameraman help?
>>72294330he didn't have enough time to react, I'm afraid
>>72293043fkn twist ur entire lower body to the side to at least have a fighting chance jesus christ
>>72294330The guy instructed the cameraman not to help unless he explicitly asked for it.
>>72292206The cynics will tell you the main purpose is too simply shorten range-of-motion (ROM). In reality; it's to help you properly engage hip-drive while benching, keep your form stable, and assist in using your shoulders as well as pecs more.
>>72293043>>72294340what is that squat rack design or brand ??it looks like it was built to kill people wtf>>72294304i'd be too dead to care
>>72293043Don’t arch your back. The main problem is the weight went straight to his neck. Even if he could lift it his arms weren’t in position to do so. You can fail up to 3 pl8 with safeties on relatively painlessly by doing the roll of shame, but not if the bar rolls back and crushes your throat
>>72291414Very fucking easy.1. Most important fucking thing: NEVER PUT CLIPS ON THE FUCKING BENCH-PRESS - ESPECIALLY BENCHING ALONE. Without clips, he could have easily slid the weights off one-side then next.2. Form > Weight. Dude cared only about the weight he was lifting and not form.I honestly can't comprehend how mfers can get past 250lbs bench-press and still have shit form and/or use clips on BP. I'm sorry, but in a way he deserved this death.
>>72294381>Don't arch your back.Don't listen to this guy. Arching your back is proper-form/technique. This dude did have shit form (given he was using weightlifting belt and wrist-straps for 275/295), but arching his back was not one of them.
>>72294340>tfw dude would have gone out of that a long time ago if he just didn't put clips on his bench-press.
>>72291421It's demoralisation to try and get in peoples heads about lifting heavy. Pay no attention to it>inb4 that's not heavyThat's not the point
A- Do free weightsB- Use safetiesC- Have anyone around (homegym masterrace lmao)D- Lift higher reps, 1-2 from failureAny of this would have saved him. It's like he wanted to die.
>>72293213>Video ends right when hes about to drop the weight again>Anon has condemned this poor chinaman to a digital sisyphean hellscape for reasons we'll never know
>>72293213that must take a lot of willpower, good on him
>>72291421Avoid benching in the smith machine and use safeties?Have someone spotting you on top of using safeties?
>>72293752>huge wall of textThis happened to me too except i said ok and just didnt anyway. Thanks for the blog post though faggot
>>72293213WAGMI
>>72292206Only powershitters arch fuck those fat sluts
Just don't be a weak rice clit
Form wise, arching isn't the problem. Just put that too high up his chest. He should have put it near his nips at the lower chest, it wouldn't slide to his neck this way and the form would be stronger.
>>72291414weighted neck extensions. i dont recommend neck bridges but thats what iron mike did. mike tyson also had a 24 inch neck lol, so thats up to you to decide
>>72294602>finds it difficult to write at above a 3rd grade levelNgmi
>use safety pins>fail bench >don't dieHe forgot step 1
>>72294276change ur life circumstances so that u don't have to perform imbecilic lifts - simple ashave u seen eddie hall deadlift, as in working on deadlift in tha gym? yeah he doesn't deadlift at all, and he did 500kg (with 7-ply rubber suit and bar shoestringged to his fingertips but alas, he ain't fucking deadlifting, at all)there is no value in any barbell lift apart from ur vanity getting boost from the number of kilos loaded on the stupid fucking implement
>>72291414Stop benching. Do more dips, push ups and OHP
Fuck fixed weights, simple asIf a squat is too heavy i’m bailingIf a bench is too heavy i’m chucking it like the sam sulek videoFUCK ”going until failure”, if i feel myself failing the weight is fucking right off, NEVER use clips ever too
>>72293043This is basically why i never lock the weights on the bar. I've never dropped them, but in case shit hits the fan i have a way out
>>72296239>simple asvery jewish
>>72293043Don’t use clips
>>72293213I wanted to believe.And for a second, I did.
>>72293043>butt off the bench>belt>ear buds, probably more focused on the music than on the absolute retard shit he is trying to do>wrist wraps>obvious 1rm>no spotters>no safeties in the rack>clips attached so he cant just roll it to dismount some plates>massive 90° elbow flare>he actually tried to bounce it from the chest>he doesnt even know how to fail safely>there is a massive pad supporting the back that creates a big arch with zero tension, might aswell bench press on top of a fucking bosu ball at that point>vaxed>Of course the fucking retard recorded itFuck arround and find out, if he were to survive he would deserve at least a kick in the balls for being such a single digit IQ moronWhy are some powershitters like this?
>>72291421they're trying (unsuccessfully) to demoralize. they waste their short, pathetic lives doing this lmao
>>72294063SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU FUCKIGNG PIECE OF SHIT DONT YOU FUCKING SAY TAHT TYABOUT HI
>>72292206Arching contracts your back muscles when benching and also gives you that leg drive when benching as your legs are implanted into the ground.
>>72294063is he ok though
I set the supports at my chest then arch slightly. That easy
>>72298046Depends how good he is under pressure.
>>72294381You retard. Arching the back is the safe way to do it. What you never should do is lift the butt off the bench
>>72291414Don't lock the ends of the plates
>>72298046Yes. They gave him some water and he recovered quickly.
