Bench press tutorial for beginners | Mike Rashid 

He said I'ma start out like with just a plate... that's already almost my max 😂😧

Thank you for the respect for us newbies trying to do right

"So, I'm gonna start out light, with just a plate", then proceeds to put on 45 Pound plates.

Mike, this is REAL bench knowledge! It took me years to learn all of the dos and don'ts that you discuss here within the first 5 mins. Especially, elbows in! For a while, I couldn't figure out why my shoulders (starting out of nowhere) were jacked up every time following a chest workout. After some tweaking, I found that turning my elbows inward did the trick and gave me more chest-focused gains. Where was this vid 8 years ago? Lol. Good stuff right here.

I feel like a weakling 😂 he throwing those two 45's up like babys 😂 I'm bout to hit the gym now

105lbs is my max right now 😂 found that out yesterday

Not bad. I am able to bench press 325 grams.

not easy for beginners. my best advice is throw the bar out the window.. start with dumbells on the flat and incline using proper form.. use the peck deck seating down machine until youre tired . and as your tricep strength increase so will bench press... at the end of the day focus on your whole body work out...dont skip leg day

Somebody starts lifting everyday ...Mike keeps it real simple!!!

4yrs now and this is still relevant 😊

Update6 months and I'm still loving this bench.

Very strong dude.

After being out of the gym since the late 1980's when I was 20(51 now) it took me a little over a year to be able to bench 215, I'm hoping by years end I'll back up to 235 where i left off ,I'm taking it slowly, I'm not a spring chicken anymo 😂😂😂😂 shout out to KNOT SPRINGS in Portland Oregon for helping me get back on the "IRON ROAD"!!!

I’d love to hear more “for beginners” from you. They also help those who aren’t beginners

This just inspired me to start bench pressing instead of being afraid lol

my man the turning the elbows tip really saved me

Been working out for almost 20 years and never turned my elbows in and never had anyone correct me on it.. lol.. Readjusting is gonna be a bitch!

Going back to the gym after 4 years wish me luck. Great tutorial for hitting the bench again! You da man.

Appreciate that big homie. I'm definitely going to start bringing my elbows in. I hurt my shoulder benching 355 about 5 years ago. Even though I got it up I couldn't bench for months and I quit lifting for some years but I'm back at it now.

Great form no bouncing the weight..control most important..the silence of the weights let's me know he's in control💪🏾
