I did the bench workout on Saturday and just altering your elbows by like 5 degrees like that is so impressive how big a difference it made. It was one of my best bench press session in ages. Didnt move more weight but it just felt so much better. I felt like i could drive the weight up harder for more reps. Felt more comfortable and felt like i had worked my chest alot more.

Like on our last set for flat bench for example. I was pushing really hard to get out my last rep, then when i got to the top i paused for a second and started attempting another. Usually this would have been me hitting failure with the flared out elbows approach. But i was amazed at how i got it off my chest and slowly but surely got it just to the top. Usually my push just seems to hit an instant wall and no matter how hard i try i cant get it threw the sticking point.

I see too many guys who lift lazy, who lack the testicular fortitude to want to train heavy. It's easy to do something moderately, but step it up to full intensity and well, thats where we lose alot of guys

And this wasnt directed at you Vassile or the way you train, just responding to your post
No prob B, im with you on all the points mentioned. Lots of what I call wanabes in the gym wasting their time for darn sure
