Yeah i do the toes only touching the floor as my legs are bent back towards me.
If my legs are streight down and feet flat then i lose tightness in my lowerbody and that seems to negatively impact my bench, something i would never of dreamed of 1 year ago
i also take shoes off for ALL barbell lifts nowadays
Give it a go, for me this is almost essential for those 120kg+ benches
Dancelot, look at your bench, 100kg, ring Dave Tate and tell him your benching 100kg, ask him where your feet should go.
See what he says
Guess where I got the line "major in the minor shit" ?
Your concern should be to get stronger. Period.
I benched 165kg before I ever heard about chains, bands, boards, arch, deloads etc
Your concern should be to build some muscle and get stronger. Technique for a non competitive gym lifter.
Lie flat on the bench, push feet into ground, press, breathe. Do this till you put another plate on the bar.
Im more into getting everything correct to stop the pain im getting in my shoulders.
