First of all, this is coming from someone who rotates between 5x5 and hypertrophy training every 3-4 months. Which in my opinion is the best way.
Anyway, I hate that whole -real world- strength BS. In all seriousness. who needs the power to squat or bench 300lbs? Unless you're moving boulders for a living, nobody needs that kind of strength.
Anyway, strength is great, but muscles are great as well. Once again, women don't care how much you can squat. My legs look better when I train high rep

if he is training like an athlete, he should have it touch his chest. body building is bad for you and your joints. strength training and weight lifting is the best way to go, and that means being the strongest version of yourself. full ranges of motion because in the real world you wouldnt have the luxury of choosing whether you do a partial rep or nott. we should all be able to perform basic movements and this just ISNT the case for people who only want -gains-. there is more to life bud

I think it is a bit conflicting: in all of your videos you talk a lot about injuries from wrong movements and corrects way how to lift weights. and this way of doing the bench press has a high level of chances of injurying yourself cause of the fast acceleration. For sure you train way more your chest but i think it is not worth it compared to the chances of injuruing youself, as the bench press is one of the excercises with the highest injury probabilities compared to other excercises.

This is not scientifically sound. The sticking point he refers to is the weakest area in the bench press range of motion. You do not strengthen your weakest area by working it. See strength curve, peak is your strongest point i. e. fully extended, bottom of curve is weak point. You can strengthen you weak point but never reach the strength at the peak of your curve, thus you are not stronger. Raise the peak, the bottom increases as well. A high tide raises all boats.

I keep learning new things from Jeff. I always tried to move slow (in both the eccentric and concentric phases) and touch the bar to my chest. The former to increase -time under tension- and the latter to get a great stretch on my pecs (and break down the pec muscle fibers) at the bottom of the rep. I wonder, as long as I'm not in pain, if it makes sense to continue the old approach with lighter weight but stick to this approach on heavy days?

Touching the chest on a bench press doesn't help, if you want to injure your shoulders then go ahead. He doesn't touch the chest because you maintain it under tension, if you put it all the way to the chest, you are resting that muscle, and when you lift it back up, you have a risk of injuring your shoulders. So yeah ther is more to life bud, like doing the things correctly.

You're an idiot. Also, Jeff missed the point here. He is working on speed in this lift. What is speed? Velocity. Is velocity acceleration? No. He needs to incorporate some accommodating resistance, like adding bands or chains to the bar. Then he will be working on acceleration because the weight will be increasing throughout the movement, and you have to still blast through it.

Going light sometimes is a way of going heavier in the long run. I have been able to apply this to my workout outs and feel better already. Also the diff between a body builder and a weight lifter is that a weight lifter is only fouled on how much weight he or she can push but a body builder is focused on contracting and expanding the muscle at hand!

actualy I think you don't know what bodybuilding means. In bodybuilding is all about full reps and not partial. There is no such thing as strength training is more important or bodybuilding is more important. All those type of trainings are important for evolving, for creating a better version of your-self.

he was a physio therapist that why he dont use full range motion the further u bring the bar to your chest the more your putting pressure on your shoulders thus more injury, he is showing you safer way of doing things, you can use full range but your more likely to injure your self.
