Bench Press

Fazc said:Deadlift is more stressful because people generally pull from a dead stop from the floor. So why do it? Pull each rep touch n go.

No one's failing from the floor anyway (on a conventional).

Right... Same for squat and half for deads... Cool.

Now that I think about it I thought you was going to say x.75 for squat and x.5 for deads

Great

Again solid template... Then from there more advances can be made like you say!

Great advice as always

Can you touch and go without technique and all the activation unaffected and unchanged
I see bounce and go but am personally yet to see t and g that was always with good form

I don't know your current lifts... but for advanced lifters I'd recommend building up to week one, by having 3 week prior of a week hitting 30, then 40, then 50.... then start week 1.
Advanced lifters usually need an accumulation phase especially after a rest or off season type stuff....
However beginner/intermediates can mug off a prep phase, just FYI.

What I mean to say is if you're failing from the floor it's the equivalent of getting pinned on the Bench.
The problem there is either :
1) The weight is just unreasonably heavy.
2) Your form went to hell on a max attempt, not unusual.
A proper failed lift will usually start to slow at the upper shins and maybe fail at knees or a little higher.

Just like anything isn't it, proper technique is needed.

You are probably right mate. You know your s**t of course.
In my experience though, pretty much anything I break from the floor I can finish. It's extremely rare for me to fail anything after it breaks.

Saw your recent Bench PR on the YouTubes mate very good!

JohnGym said:
Thanks mate.
I refer back to your bench tips....I got fat.

frankie1parke said:where you fail on dl is dependant on back position in my experience and what ive observed with others. a lifter who keeps his back flat will struggle/fail off the floor and but will complete to lift if they get it moving. however a rounded back lifter will always have it fly off the floor but will struggle/fail at lockout.
