Youre wrong about a couple things bud, first the descent being correct for the novice lifter is wrong because the bar path on the way down isnt the same as mike or kaz and isnt in that sweet spot or groove now it may look like it but if you were to look at the original lifts these were taken from Im sure it would show. Secondly vertical bar path IS NOT bad for strength its actually just an advanced technique just like lumbar flexion with deadlifts and its true that its quite different then the way most people are breaking their backs deadlifting or benching straight bar paths with zero technique (not enough arch & grip width mostly) to accompany the proper advanced movement but its your job to teach these kids man. Check out JP Cauchi and his vid on vertical bar path its some solid good stuff. Anyways if you read this jeffnippard then thanks for your knowledge and time, just wanna keep you on your toes

I did hear one good tip from you Jeff, but i have to say you have some big flaws in your technique yourself. You do lift a lot with your delts and you have almost zero leg drive. I am a 70kg powelifter with a neutral (very narrow grip) and i bench around 150kg paused. I cant agree that strongest benchers in the world have the widest grip. The strongest use narrow grip because it allows you to use more power, while the wide grip is basically a legdrive - belly press with a triceps lockout, no benching done. I do however bench with my arms slightly forward so that was a nice tip to take home, thanks.

If you actually raise both your legs up when you bench press your whole back will become flat which will let you actually hit the chest alot better It requires more control but it will hit the correct spots for flat bench press. Having a arch isnt always good because alot of people have broad shoulders and there shoulders get more of the work out. I stared raising my legs ever since I was young and it's the whole things that built my chest along with pull overs.

I'm 20 stronger with a closer grip. maybe I'm just used to it but I was taught that way. For example if you were standing in front of someone and you shoved someone you would have you elbows low and drive through them. If my arms are flared out I'm not nearly going to have as much power. That's how I bench. Example is a football lineman. drives through with his arms close mot flared out. Seems like it's logical but maybe weight bearing it's the opposite?

Overloading an overly arched back is bad period, yep it's done in powerlifting comps etc, and was once coined the belly toss technique, it'll basically shorten the lift distance, and allow you to lift more weight. But it's not a perfectly healthy move, but a small level of arch is healthier for the shoulders and can activate more of the lower pectoral musculature, some people just arch way to high and thus risk injury.

What does (RPE7) (RPE6) mean? Im trying to get my bench press up its something Ive always had trouble with. My max Rn is 230 and has been that for 6 months. I was gonna adopt the workout where he says bench 3 times a weeks with Monday being 2x8 Wednesday 4x3 and Friday 3x5 pause reps. I really want to bench more and would appreciate tips or advice thanks.

I love your videos Jeff but it seems to me that the rpe numbers at the end of the vid are wrong, this is supposed to be something for strength if the title is relating to blowing up your bench but how 4x3 at 6rpe at the power focus day, which is very low, can achieve that? Or are you talking about 60 percent of the max? Still seems pretty low to me. Cheers.

Not sure about the bar path. The bar should end up over the shoulder joint at the completion of lift. Once the bar touches your chest and you angle the bar towards your face, I think you lose power because of the moment arm created when the forearms are no longer perpendicular to the bar.
