How do I stop having such a shit bench? Also my pendlay

>>38138693
should I do lighter bench sets for like 10-12 reps as well on press day?

Honestly my bench was horse shit. I bought a slingshot from howmuchyabench and it fixed my horse shit form. Went from 180lb raw bench to 230lbs in 4 months.

Google it. I bought the reactive one. It's called a slingshot but it's really a bench assistance dickeredoo it keeps you tight and helps you be explosive out of the hole. My biggest problem was staying tight and getting good leg drive without lifting my ass. I'm 6'8 with a 6'10 wingspan so bench isn't made for me but il get 315 eventually

Form is bad or you don't push yourself hard enough

It's like a resistance band that goes across your chest for benching. I've no idea how it improved that guy's form since I've never used one.

Interesting. I'll have to check that out because my bench sucks

Leg drive
You don't need a powerlifting arch to incorporate proper leg drive, but it will also up your bench.
Also, keep a tight bar path. Going to far out when coming down is pretty common because people think too much about going down diagonally when it really just comes naturally when you're in a proper bench position

Holy shit dude have you been watching me bench

I was just looking up some videos and i realize my feet are way too far out, and I can't get good leg drive. I tend to have my feet flat on the ground but apparently they should be closer to you with knees more bent.

Also I do think too much about bar path maybe. I'm a bit afraid of shoulder impingement especially because I have some weird tightness in my right bicep/shoulder area that worries me at times

Thanks for the advice :D
