Feet further apart and back... On your toes.. Arch your back, elbows in... You look like a noodle...BITCH!

***** shit. I can't arch my back like that.

Your wrists tell me you can arch your back real well.... HEY GIRL!!

 

[Steve Vai]

Yeah. But not while I'm benching bro.

 

[Mountain Bike Mike]

Real talk - I hope you watched that video... Benching like that pic you posted will certainly side line you from Alaska due to injury...

I always thought arching your back was bad form?

Naw... Check that video.. Dude explains it well.

PSA - lifting weights the wrong way can fuck you up permanently. Let the kids learn the hard way. It's all about form.

@jimvreeland - How did PuertoJohn do this morning?

 

[Steve Vai]

I've seen both ways, I've watched a bunch of body builder documentaries and guys change it around depending on what muscles they're trying to hit.

He didn't die.

 

[Mountain Bike Mike]

He didn't die.

for not killing him..

 

[Steve Vai]

for not killing him..

I rode the SS so he wouldn't die. Was still 15-minutes late to work though but that'll change once he gets into a rhythm.

Why the bench press? It just seems like something that's bad for the shoulders and does nothing for real fitness, especially on the bike. It's why I stopped going for high weight on it and just go with elbows in pushups.

I gave up bench press because of shoulder issues and stuck with push-ups and dumbbells on chest day

If you're gonna arch your back, do it right @Mountain Bike Mike

I refuse to click on that video for fear of getting put on some kind of watchlist.

Why the hell is an 11y/o girl mostly naked in a gym full of grown ass men?

I need them to get my shoulder up to snuff. I'm doing high repetitions with low weight. My heaviest set is only 150 pounds for 10 reps. I go heavier with dumbells. And I've spent many years working on building a huge cardio engine at the cost of losing bone density from not doing strength work. You need both. Being strong overall allows you to really put out power on the bike. And a nice side effect is having my wife want to have sex with me a lot more often.
