    Think of your hands as hooks, and lead the movement with your elbows. Pretend you're squeezing your shoulder blades and pinching a pencil in between your back.

    Form looks fine for the most part. Looks like you have a bit of a hyper-extended back, which is going to pose an issue at heavier weights. I would echo the comment above regarding striving to front...

    Ultimately, you're only going to get better at benching by benching. There's a skill and strength component to benching, and using a chest press machine might provide some carryover in strength, but...

    Pretty sure it can be easily narrowed down to nutrition, programming and not performing the lifts properly. You need to post more information to get proper help.

    Day 1: Upper (Heavy)
    Day 2: Lower (Heavy)
    Day 3: Rest
    Day 4: Upper (Light/Medium)
    Day 5: Lower (Light/Medium)

    Been ordering it for 2 years now through the States with no issues. I order 5-6 tubs at a time, too.

    Out of curiousity, is it just the customization of the rack that's creating a delay? I placed an order for a RML-390F last weekend with custom uprights. A lot of online reviews say that even though...

    Testing your 1RM that often can be quite taxing on your CNS and progress overall. The only other guess is the bar itself. Most commercial gyms have ****ty bars that are not to spec, and even if the...
