    @AdamPumpingIron Před 5 lety

    Apropos 'huge amount of distance: it's actually a 'moment arm', which is creating a force which needs to be compensated.....Therefore wrist wraps are very recommended in order to keep the wrists 'straight' My five cents to this topic😀

  • @mojo6112
    @mojo6112 Před 5 lety +1

    Yesterday i had one of the worst days at the gym. It was chest/shoulder/tri day and i started iff with bench like i always do. My shoulder was popping like crazy and i just couldn't push the bar up and back instead i was pushing it forward. I'll try to put the bar lower in my hand.

    • @nitroyetevn
      @nitroyetevn Před 5 lety

      I'm no expert, but 100% of my shoulder problems on bench came from not locking shoulders properly throughout the lift, lowering the bar in an uncontrolled manner, and bad programming (ie. yoloing weights that are too heavy and going to failure too often with inadequate recovery, or doing this on other lifts like OHP and then having subsequent problems in the bench).
      As soon as I fixed all of these things my chronic shoulder problems on bench disappeared and have stayed gone for years. I hope there's a simple fix for you too.

    I disagree. Having the bar higher in your palm and bending back your wrist will effectively shave off a couple inches off your ROM.

      @PiiNoY99 Před 5 lety

      ya ya not for me. I bench 350 and using japanese grip is the only way i feel powerful, in fact, whenever my wrist start straightening out towards the neutral position, i lose power.
      Also, especially for people with a big arch and wide grip and small rom to begin with, every inch counts. Bending my wrists back help tremendously with rom.

      @ronan5115 Před 5 lety +1

      @@PiiNoY99 I feel Japanese grip is different to the conventional bent back wrist in this video. You have made a conscious effort and experimented with it rather than an accidental form breakdown of neutral wrists bending back bleeding power. But if that works for you who am I to disagree

    • @calgarybarbell
      @calgarybarbell  Před 5 lety +1

      I don’t think you’re wrong. Look at how Yury Belkin benches. Bar is way in fingertips and his wrist is cocked way back. These tip videos are always generalizations and ‘things to try’. Your experience may vary from what I see in a majority of lifters and I definitely believe you when you say you have success doing the opposite.
