GUARANTEED TO IMPROVE YOUR BENCH PRESS | TIPS AND TRICKS WITH HICKS! 

Yes! Loving the regular posting.

Super easy to follow instructions with no fluff, I'd love to see more videos like this on the rest of the big three and maybe strict press and push (once the groin feels up to it of course).

Loving the videos! Could we get a tutorial on the push press please!! With just a barbell preferably please!! 🙌🏻🏋🏻‍♂️

That was class. Looking forward to applying a few of these tips to my next bench session.

Steaming content, broken down in the most simplistic way I’ve seen to date but without missing the content. Loving the new video content.

Keep em coming!!!

Awesome strength advice 💪

Thanks for your time Mr and Mrs Hicks

Great tips 👍🏻

Definitely going to try these tips out. Another top quality produced video and high level training content, thanks hicksy for the videos, please keep them coming 💪

Great instructions, thanks for this!

Mate the was very informing and knowledgable... keep up the good work p.s. new gym looks fantastic

You just cant go wrong with this info, you are the man Hicks!

Yeah man good work hixxy regular vids class...big thumbs up

Love the content. I would love to see some videos of deadlifts and accessories you use for deadlift!

Really helpful, thank you

Thanks for the tips and tricks with Hicks! Any tips for the deadlift or overhead press would be great. 👍

Awesome little tutorial, would love to see a guide for different lifts too such as the log press, it was great to meet you at the Arnold sports festival in Birmingham too 🤘

Perfect explanation 👍🍁

Really interesting!

A brilliant set up, I have been doing it for the last year or so,sebastian oreb done a video on it aswell. Brilliant content keep it coming 👏

More tutorials would be great. Excellent video

This was a really excellent video - can totally see the coach in you coming out. A similar one on acccessory exercises would be great, I've been hearing a lot about them, but nobody really goes into them in depth. Thank you :)

Great vid, love this style of content. Keep up the regular posting

Great video. I’d love to see a tutorial on a push press!

This is one of the best tutorials I have seen on bench pressing. Good stuff.

Great content Big Graham💪🏼 I had to SUBSCRIBE. Hello 👋🏼 From California.

I like the kick up style dismount off the bench Kimber-lee, very cool

That was very interesting. Thanks guy's.👍 That fire had me laughing way more than it should have. It was so unexpected. 😉

Super video. Thank you. I'll take that with me when I get back to the bench. Could you possibly do another video on the squat?

I'm here for the regularly posted content ❤

Awesome tutorial 💪 I would think Hip and quad flexibility is critical here.

Very good tips. I'm going to remember to keep my breath in till the set is complete. My sets are low reps anyhow.

Superb

Man hixxy u have great content! Your stuff is on point . U should put more work in on social media.

I love a deadlift video plz

I have been trying my hardest to get use to this style of benching for the last month - normally I only slightly stick my back up off the bench and stand on the balls of my feet, so there is no proper arch or leg drive but I still got pretty strong this way. Always felt like I'd trained my chest afterwards and it got much bigger as I got stronger. Now I've been getting a much higher arch and feet tucked underneath together with drive, and bar range of motion feels 2/3 of what it was. The problem afterwards is I don't even feel like I've trained chest and I have lost tonnes of size and bodyweight from this style. I feel slight bit in lower chest and mainly all in triceps. I'm all for big numbers but also want to feel good after doing it. I'm kind of torn between the two styles currently - I want the big bench but also the feel good factor too which I just don't get with the big arching & leg drive style. What sort of percentage increase is to be had between the two styles do you think Graham?

Same for squat and deadlift? Great video

Hell yeah! I’m gunna go bench all the weights in the gym after this 😂 cheers hicksy mate

Waiting for the log video.

Something you once said that sticks with me. When you're really uncomfortable, that's when you're in the right bench position.

Classs

I have no idea why I wasn't subbed, great video Hicks ! Lookin hot!

It's weird. Growing up that was the whole thing, "how much do you bench?". Now here I am at 33 yrs old and don't have any bench in my workouts, aside from Incline Dumbell accessory 🤷🏽‍♂️

I wanna get my military pressing up any tips tricks u have some of the stongest shoulders in the world 🌎 thanks

We once nearly knocked you down in a car once Graham, when you were crossing the road on your phone outside Leeds Headingley Stadium at ESM 2014 I think it was

I always thought you held your breath and then breathed out hard whilst exploding the bar up? Great vid BTW

Awesome stuff 👍👍 Deadlifting next please. NOT JUST DOING IT but ell us how often, once a week, maybe twice.? The talk is once every 8 days maybe.. Your deadlifting has come along a lot recently. Tell all please. 👍 I'm 53yrs old and been in the gym now for 3yrs, I've hit a wall and seem to be having trouble getting over 200kg on the deadlifting. I can do 225kg from top of frame set up but can't go from floor with it. I'm doing deficits etc and rows.? Do I need to do this more than once a week...?

How simpel can it be

4:49 - there is smoke coming off your back

Me: this will be very useful to know... also me 70kg and only do 2 sit ups a day

How to improve deadlift please? 😁

👌

Nice rhyming title

One of the very strongest men in this country, and past BSM, and less than 7k subscribers. Mental. PS - Hicksy - you're punching. PPS - I love that the main reason you did the video was to save you the hassle of explaining this over and over again 😂

Literally doing a bench session in 40 minutes, this video came just in time

Forgive my ignorance, but would it not be better to train with a full/larger range of motion like a regular flat bench, get all your stabilisers firing and increase your strength - then go into a comp with the chest out/rounded back etc. knowing that you can press more with the smaller range of motion?

Arguably the statically strongest guy out there atm.

Do you hold your breath during overhead sets? I find for bench it's great, but for log or axle if I hold my breath more than one rep I feel like I'll pass out.

please come back to powerlifting hixy

Are those blue 20kg plates custom made? If so what are the specs for the handle holes/etc... thanks?😁

sounds stupid but i have pain in both knees right now. would that set up with your knees bent so much make it worse with the pressure or is the pressure not that much.

for me (just training to stay fit), this is all ok if your competing against others and have to have these "tricks" to stay competitive, bit like belts, wraps and straps etc. but i have always believed in trying to be strong "real world", so no straps, no belts, full range of movement etc etc. whats the point of being able to pick something up heavy if you have to go and get your belt first!!!

Just a question, what the hell were you doing to get steaming like that lmao.

What are peoples opinions on those who are able to do incredible back arches and have massively wide grips who’s bench range of movement ends up being sub 20cm? Personally I don’t think your going to grow your chest muscles with a hyper curved back and your chest 20cm from the bar. I’m more impressed by less weight with the back flat on the bench. Look at Maddox, back flat on the bench and he’s got the world record.

Looks cheating to me ur not pushing straight up its like pushing it bent backwards abit i know its not just looks that way
