Spidey - well, as I was getting warmed up on bench, I was thinking back to previous sessions, and thinking how often times when I’m mid set, my feet slip out from under me to a wider, more flat-footed position from which I feel I can generate more power. So I started my warmups like this and it felt MONEY. Hopefully this leads to positive trends. It’s also much easier for me to get into position, lol.
jake - lol can i have 100lbs on my bench plz? thanks for the info, that’s cool.

Hey Bug, I’m confused on what you meant about your feet positioning on the bench. Did you video this, or view a video on it or something?? because right now I do the feet back, on my toes type thing, but I always feel SUPER unstable no matter how ‘tight’ I try to get.[/quote]
IIRC (and I might not be…) the wider & flat footed placement feeling better is the major reason Andy Boltons bench has suddenly increased 100 odd pounds in not too long after he’s been training over 20 years for powerlifting… if I remember right he talks about “thinking of it like a pyramid” and the stronger/bigger then base the more strength/stability it has.
Some powerlifter feel free to jump on this if I’m talking shit but I think this is what he said in one of his recent mailing list/website posts…
Edit: he definitely uses wide as possible foot placement but he might still be on his toes pushing through… not sure[/quote]
Well the wider base thing makes sense, I guess my question then is how do manage any leg drive? maybe I’m just stupid for not being able to understand this. lol.

I still feel like I’m getting leg drive. I’ll film as soon as I can (hopefully next week). My feet aren’t just casually placed on the ground - they are dug in, just wide, toes pointed out IIRC, and power being driven through my heels. Try it for yourself.

I feel you on still getting used to leg drive. But I think you make a good point, perhaps whether you on your toes or not is simply personal preference… as long as you can push through your heels optimally flat/on-toes doesn’t matter. But then what do I know, my bench sucks donkey dick
You are welcome for the extra log traffic that my tits brought. I didnt intend to…but uh…there ya go.
(For more tits, and the like, all you fellas could go to my log…)
007!!! Yeeeeeeeees!!! But why the sock-hate?
3 Harold has been persistant in his marriage proposals. I might have to take him up on that outta respect for consistant demands. We can still sex though.
3 points I’d like to make:
I may be the ultimate cockblock. But the only reason is to block your cock from the one we call Dasher. She’s mine.
Dasher = log traffic. (that IS what she said)
pbclax dropping in to laugh at my expense. We’ll see who gets the last laugh when I post honeymoon pics wearing Dasher’s deadlift socks.
K thx

Hell, I could PCB again. I am a conditioning coach at the college I graduated from and apparently can’t party with my friends that are still students (looks bad) so I might as well. And we can 007 all week
If Dasher goes to PBC with you kids next year, I want a sex tape. Kinda like a lifting video. I want to critique your form, ya know?
I kid. Sleep with my woman and I’ll kastrate you.
^ creepy
