Yeah, good vid.
Confirmed a lot of the stuff I learnt recently reading this instructional stuff from Dave Tate:
T NATION | Dave Tate's Six-Week Bench Press Cure
There's a few more tips in Dave's linked stuff like pausing for a couple of seconds after unracking the bar to let the weight compress you down into the bench and compress your body in the hold. I feel it drop a good inch or more once I pause and allow the compression before I rip the bar apart and lower to just below my rib cage. I also breath out with a tight pursed mouth all the way up as this helps give me that little bit more. If I forget to breath I am more likely to get stuck half way.
Good stuff, thanks for linking.
Cheers,
Mike
This is a good tip for when doing your 1rm or your on your last rep of a 3rm/5rm, I do it while letting out a loud growl/grunt. Gives you that little bit more.
That's what I did before some coaching. Now its big breath in, row down weight, pause, press, lock out, breath out.
Took a while to get the hang of, but a few little things like that have made a big difference in my pressing.

Also another good tip is to get a healthy looking female to spot you
that way all you gotta do is lie down and stare at the boobies and press, just dont get your wife/girlfriend to do it. She might remember something you said and deliberately drop the weight on you if you fail the rep
