    Hey guys so sorry for the delay in vids recently! I decided to revamp the channel. I hired an editor for the videos, we got a studio space for the podcast and we have a ton planned for the channel!
    The podcast will be back weekly again with video! It’ll be released here on the channel. We will be covering the latest research on strength training, topics of the day to help you train better, and much more!
    If you liked the vid share it guys! I’m sure my analytics are going to dump from the time off a bit but I’m just really excited to be back!!

    After years of benching, I feel like I've finally grasped what leg drive is and how to apply it within the last few days. I started researching the topic after hitting a 300 pound grinder of a bench PR with no leg involvement whatsoever. There had to be a better way lol. I've probably watched every leg drive video on CZcams, and this is by far the best.

    Thoughts on teaching leg drive so that the leg drive pushes the chest up to reduce ROM. Almost like the legs and shoulders are edges of a board pushing together so that the middle bows upwards

    • @BrendanTietz
      @BrendanTietz  Před 4 lety

      Watch the whole vid, I cover this! That’s why I stick my shoulders so hard and unrack with butt up so I can leverage over my shoulders and use leg drive to create an arch that would be otherwise impossible without the use of leg drive.

    Hi Brendan thanks for another informative video man! This is a different topic, but do you believe that deadlifting beltless, has any carryover to a belted deadlift? As I always rely on a belt.

    • @stoempert
      @stoempert Před 4 lety +2

      Don't take my word for it but how on earth would beltless deadlift NOT have carryover to belted? Vice versa the same. Without belt you just miss a crutch for bracing and a little lower back help, otherwise it's the same lift. In fact, if you're beltless deadlift is way behind the belted you should probably work on that.

    • @BrendanTietz
      @BrendanTietz  Před 4 lety +2

      It has a ton of carryover and it’s one of our main deadlift variations we use. I love Beltless conv, beltless paused and just beltless deadlifts in general. They help train lower back extension rigidity strength to maintain the isometric position of the back muscles along with forcing you to brace really well. I find it really helps with back bleeding when programmed correctly and executed well in training. Just don’t be the guy who does it pulling with a super rounded back and no tension.

  • @rioraber8095
    @rioraber8095 Před 4 lety

    This video is awesome! Im able to have quite a big arch and Im under 200 lbs and Ive been wondering why I keep gravitating towards more constant tension on the bench, as I was of the mind that if you want to get to the next level, most if not all people need to master the sink style. I definitely struggle with my shoulders moving out of position, so just being content and dialing in on the constant tension bench sounds like the answer!

    • @BrendanTietz
      @BrendanTietz  Před 3 lety +2

      Oh dude not at all, some of the best benchers are constant tension style. Sean Noriega who has a huge arch, John Haack, Micheal Saey etc. so many great ones, all comes down to your preference. Glad the video helped!

      Dude tbh I never understood it at all that I dogmatically only would let clients do a constant tension style. But I have a few guys who really do better with a sink. Even in person it makes ZERO sense to me lmao. It looks so unstable but then they blow up some heavy benches. I think for most though constant tension is the way to go

      @BrendanTietz  Před 4 lety

      It’s rather straight forward however I have a video on this, if you find the video called “powerlifting programming tactics | intro advanced bench positioning” it explains the foot forward position we teach our clients. The heels obviously have to be flat for usapl however even in uspa we have athletes mostly use a flat foot with forward positioning to get more active leg drive pushing back. Watch that vid and it’ll explain it, starts around 6:20 mins in I believe

  • @stoempert
    @stoempert Před 4 lety

    Whoever invented the term 'legdrive' for bench, caused a lot of confusion. I've heard people talk about it like some magical thing that makes the bar fly off your chest. To me it's just part of getting tight for the benchpress, much like tightening your legs and glutes for a strict press. Sure you can use some 'drive' in setting your arch but that's about it.

    • @BrendanTietz
      @BrendanTietz  Před 4 lety +1

      Idk if you watched all the way through but I briefly explained how the physics of it work. It definitely can be transferred to the bar but funny enough I said the exact words you did, it doesn’t just magically get transferred. Requires the shoulders sticking at a downward angle to push into the pad which then generates force up into the bar since the pad doesn’t move. So we definitely can drive leg tension into the bar it’s just gotta be done correctly.

    • @stoempert
      @stoempert Před 4 lety

      @@BrendanTietz I did and rehashed some of your points, soz 😀 I'm fully on board with the legs driving the (better) arch, thus reducing ROM and putting your shoulders in a better position. What i'm stuck on is how the downward/backwards pressure into the bench would transfer upwards. Seeing as your upper back stays in the same position it's not like loading a spring, anymore so like the regular eccentric loading.

    • @BrendanTietz
      @BrendanTietz  Před 4 lety +1

      stoempert so imagine this, you have to push a heavy solid object across the floor that’s the size of you in a square shape. It’s absolutely huge. What’s the first thing you do? Spread your feet or if a wall is behind you, push a leg into the wall. Why? Because if you don’t have force from the feet digging into the ground which stops your force from moving your body backwards you’ll just push without force transfer. The more force you can generate in the opposing direction into the ground or into a wall behind you, the more force you’ll generate back into the object. Force always has to move or be absorbed. If you look up property of force you’ll find it has two, magnitude and direction. Because of this the more magnitude we create the larger the force (that’s leg drive creating magnitude), and the way we stop the shoulders then directs that force. Does this make sense? There’s a much more complicated physics explanation but I feel this is easiest to understand.
      However you are very correct that it’s extremely confusing and truth be told almost no one understands leg drive and I think the term is a bit misleading.
