The bench press is a great exercise to build upper body strength, and for many people it’s their favorite lift. However, an extra degree of safety and attention is required of the bench press. The bench press is the only lift that can actually kill you. One of the most vulnerable parts of the bench press is during the unracking and racking process. This video details the proper steps to safely and efficiently unrack and rack the barbell during the bench press.
Unracking and racking the bench press
Unracking for the deadlift gets me every time. :-/ I think there might be a typo.
Great video. Wish I lived near an SSC.
In the first half of the video, the lifter does not have his thumbs wrapped around the bar. His thumbs extended along the bottom of the bar. Very bad mistake!
