« on: March 03, 2011, 11:11:34 pm »
Well it's weird because reading everywhere - everybody recommended a wider stance on the bar if you have shoulder/pec/whatever flexibility issues using the low bar. So I tried it and it was worse. My elbows hurted much more and wrists much more, so I switched to an even narrower grip than usual. That worked wonders.

Don't know what's up with that. I think the traps just contracted better and there was less "arm load" or support of the bar.

Yea, thats the best way, find out for YOU what feels most comfortable, for YOU.  The narrow grip will "bunch" the traps and rear delts up making a bigger cushion for people with less muscle mass in those areas.  Whatever grip lets you forget about your grip and focus on your legs is the "best" for you.

Yeah my explosiveness just exponentially lowers with weight added. For example, with an empty bar I get so high... yet with 30 kg I don't get high at all. Same with snatches. With an empty bar I do them explosive enough. Give me 30 kg and it's all shoulders, non explosive etc. It's annoying and I can't find a logical reason for that.

Try wave loading every now and then and see what happens, on the upper end of the wave loaded sets you dont even need to give a maximal effort and 1 rep is enough alot of time.  Sometimes its just inhibitions that can be overcome, then when you get to the lighter sets you notice a big difference. Def didnt look bad though. 

 One thing that you will find as you become more explosive is you will naturally want a higher 1, dont force this but the better jumpers always naturally want a bigger preload when aiming for the highest possible 2.  One thing ive found helpful is to imagine youre jumping on a trampoline, aiming for max height on the 2.  Almost always get better output when I cue that.

 Alot of them do, not all, but the better you get at letting the traps and rear delts take the brunt of the load the less it will matter.  Shoulder flexibility is often an issue with lifters who bench press alot and the wider grip helps take some of the stress off the shoulder joint.

  Olympic lifters generally have much better overall shoulder flexibility due to the overhead work and not nearly as much benching.  Ive seen oly lifters take a 45lb bar and do shoulder dislocations with it like it was a piece of cake, many powerlifters are lucky if they can get into a quarter overhead squat position with a legal grip on the bar.

adarqui dude when was the last time you heard of an elite level strongman, who? only used his own bodyweight? or an american football player who only used his bodyweight? everything requires its own specified training to reach certain goals, its not healthy being so closed minded!

 Post from CT on raw bench press form.


Quote
For as long as I can remember every time I started to get really strong on the bench press, my shoulder started hurting. I did everything right, but it still ended up hurting. Until I adopted a benching technique that is almost the polar opposite of what is taught in powerlifting circles.

And this is not a dig at the top powerlifters. But I learned that what is applied to equipped powerlifting technique, training and exercise selection-wise is not always adapted to raw lifting.

In powerlifting you are taught to depress and retract the scapula and spread the lats when benching. This technique takes advantage of the bench shirt, and the bench shirt itself stabilized the shoulder joint, decreasing the risk of injury.

But I found that this technique didn't help me avoid shoulder issues.

What did help is the technique I developed which consists of powerfully contracting (shrugging) the traps when setting up to bench and maintaining that contraction during the whole set. This action stabilized the shoulders A LOT. This helped me to keep my shoulders healthy, even though I'm at my strongest ever, and boosted my bench almost instantly. It did the same with my training partner Nick and all who I've taught it to.

The technique is simple:

- Set-up on the bench... the initial set-up is much like a regular powerlifting bench.
- Grab the bar and lift your butt in the air. There should be as little of "you" touching the bench as possible, help yourself by pulling on the bar if needed.
- From that position shrug your traps forcefully as if trying to touch your ears with your shoulders.
- When this is done, lower yourself back to the bench while keeping the traps contrated HARD. Keep the lower back arched.
- Unrack the bar, stay shrugged and lower the bar to your chest, still shrugged.
- Lift the bar explosively from your chest

This technique has the advantage of protecting your shoulders and making it easier to set up. With the traditional powerlifting bench, when you unrack the bar it is hard to keep the lats tensed and the body in the proper position, not so with my technique.

In my experience this method is optimal for the raw lifter, especially if he has shoulder issues.

How do you get in a meet? Do you gain money if you win?

It can't be as easy as "Hi! I want to get in this meet.".

 well its pretty easy, you apply to the meet director or whoever is hosting and compete unattached, meaning you can win but youre not technically competing against the other athletes there. For example if you win your event, the second place finisher is actually going to be first place, assuming he is not unattached too.  Money is almost impossible without a sponsorship ie. nike, addidas, etc., for females its even harder to get since so little attention is paid to track and field here.  But yea, ive been to several collegiate meets that had people over 40 yrs old competing, some did surprising well, they just run attached and want to stay competitive.  When she won the Texas relays the girl that actually finished first was an unattached competitior, olympic athlete for some other country (forgot) but yea, her results are just for her and her coaches, they dont count against the collegiate athletes.

btw, just found this javelin pic of her from a while back, this was around the time of most the upper body pr's lol.
