That was in my eyes REALLY DAMN GOOD Bro !!! I noticed you have really long arms. I would try just a little wider if it isn't too uncomfortable for you. My arms are long too, and it is a disadvantage for us. You could also bring your feet back towards the rack of the bench a little. WHen you unrack the weight, and come down with it, your feet need to be on the balls the area by your toes, and when you start your press, kick them down to where your heels plant into the floor. Be sure they don't come off the floor though, or that your ass doesn't come up off the bench or they will flag you. give you a no lift. That's a good bench @ 170 bw, you had good form, breathing sounded good, and to be honest, I think you could have done more if you had a spotter !!! I bet you could throw 280 up no problem !!

Looking good man keep it up !!

Would have been red lighted at meet....keep ass stuck on bench. Tuck the elbows a bit more to get Lat involvement.

Also fro you need to practice rack and press commands you got a little "bounce" off the chest on that lift.

Thanks guys. All tips and criticism is noted. I appreciate the help. I don't really have anyone that has any knowledge to help me out with form and stuff. I will keep working on those items that were pointed out and report back in a few weeks on my bench progress.

Critique bro not criticism

set a PR on the bench last spring at 415, not bad for a guy who is only 205 pounds

[fro_daddy121]

it is.. I felt it in my middle back for a few days.. those skinny crossfit dudes are slinging around 2 plates on cleans so really no excuse for not getting atleast 250

I think the key to powerlifting is a lot of FOOD and REST.. very important

and build consistency with your lifts. if you are stuck at a plateau work on 4-5 reps per set at a lower weight and then work your way back up.

 

[brapbrap07]

Power lifting and cutting just don't work it sucks

 

[gypsy469]

you can look good and powerlift too !! Look at Ronnie Coleman, he is strong as fuck...

 

[brapbrap07]

When I reduce my carb intake my strength plummits

 

[gypsy469]
