Your bench has flown up big time over the past year. Do you feel like your technique has changed much?
Definitely yes, but it's not the whole reason.
Technique wise, upper back tightness, arch and leg stability have all been worked on. Grip moved out, then back in slightly, I started touching lower on the chest, and I started using cues like breaking the bar, tucking elbows and bringing chest to bar - all added kilos. I also started benching on my toes and firing glutes hard while stretching hip flexors.
Nice-- just tried it, & this is an awesome set-up for me. On the toes, really stretching out those hip flexors, & tightening the upper back. Everything felt a lot more efficient & compact. Cheers man! Keep it up btw.
