With that grip triceps come in more (we know this 100%)... but maybe the amount of help from chest remains the same (cause my humerus to torso angle remains 45 degree). So there's more total pressing power.

Another point maybe using that narrower grip puts the bar, my wrist, elbow in a perfect straight position (I'm looking for this). Must record again next Monday to see this.

Hmm, yea good point . Will be looking forward to it

Sorry noob question, does the 35kg includes the weight of the bar bell?

Yes, always include the weight of the bar.

Hey bro, nice benching...just something i noticed, not sure if others had noted u about it..ur bar path..is not directly straight...plus from the angle of the video i think ur left hand goes down faster than ur right? (not sure because difficult angle) anyways u may wanna check on that =) all the best!

The bar path should NOT be straight for bench press.

My left side is weaker side. Sharp eyes haha. It will even out later on.

Hey man, just did some research.. you are right about the bar path Sorry, it's my mistake. All the best in your fitness journey!

bravo to u. vry good benching. but imho, its not tight enough. mayb bcoz ur long arms. having a more arching may help alot (but carefull not till d point hurting ur lower back) as it shorthen d range of motion.

Yep, definitely was not tight enough.

Anyway here is the latest one from yesterday:



Much better setup, and got the ideal grip also.

That dude is rehabilitating.

Hope so.

2 days ago he was superseting dumbell shoulder press and smith OHP. Freaking did like 8 sets of dumbell shoulder press and another 8 on OHP.

... and before he came bek to do his OHP again i took the smith machine (has built in rack) to do free -weight squats haha.

Dude,

All i see is 10kg plate on each side equals to 20kg, How'd you manage to get 40kg? you counting the bar also?

dude, first day of lifting?

In all my years of lifting weights i never came across someone that didnt count the bar.

You count the bar.

LOL dafuk revived a 1 year old thread.
Memories, even the gym no longer exist anymore.

Struggling with 40KG, so much memories. Nowadays this is my warmup lolz.

so does cheap china bar 20kg as well? just curious if all the bar are actually 20kg or lesser..there's no way I can weight them

Every gym normally got weigh scale, u weight yourself, then hold the bar and weigh yourself you will know. If gym no weigh scale just bring yours from home.

Oh well... i dont usually count the bar.
