    To everyone who is trying to bash the guy's technique, he basically is creating a decline bench position in order to bench more than what he normally would on a flat bench.
    You are here to learn what he is trying to teach here, if you don't appreciate or found it inefficient or anything you can just appreciate him and go on with your life. Bashing on anyone won't make you any better.
    P. S. This won't help you lift 700 pounds in a day.

      @antoniovalencia1831 Před 5 lety +10

      @@alexpark1694 surely putting yourself in an optimal position for leverages, maximising leg drive and using an arch to push from a better position is what you wpuld want? In terms of pushing the most weight that is. Of course this might not be optimal for someone looking to gain aesthetics but looking at the guy teaching this technique i don't think thats his clientele haha
