Yeah.
My bench form is good.

But then I see some ppl even power lifters. Benching on their toes. With no heel on the ground.

There's gotta be some reasoning behind this.

And if I'm seeing correctly. Decop is benching on his toes in the vids he jus posted . Hard to tell

Decoppel. Any thoughts @ benching on toes/heels

I do what I can with what I have, when I take the time to stack boards my flat foot lift is no different.

That being said, when I actually get up only on my toes I find I am more tempted to lift my ass, which I aim not to do regardless of the bench I use.

should get some platforms to put em on, not that it really matters so long as you keep balance.

I sometimes put in wood planks across, but most of the time my feet placed on the base of the bench which allows me to keep relevantly flat footed

Never thought of that lol
Could make it uncomfortable

Do u usually bench with heels planted in the floor on a normal bench??

Do u find u push more weight. One way or the other?

Shuts got my curious. That is all. Lol

Question about weight is answered above, when I am on a regular bench yes, I plant my feet, much more stable and no temptation to drive my ass right off the bench

thx, lolol.

I'm kind of tempted to try and get a better pic of the bench scenario, so you can see where abouts my feet sit when I am doing my sets.
