No doubt about it. If you follow it for a long time, deload properly, get your food and rest in, you can use it for a long time.it works
it works

Thats the thing, I always take a clear conscience effort to tuck my elbows in. This may just be a chronic thing for me.
If it only flares up when you bench then I would suggest working on your form. More than likely you flare your elbows out too much. A good mental cue I like to use to avoid this is act as if your trying to literally bend the bar when its descending. This helped me a lot.
Yeah grip plays a huge role. I see so many dudes grip the bar wayyyyyy too wide when they bench. Unless your just naturally a wide dude, your not gonna be gripping it with your fingers on the rings. That takes tons of practice over time by moving your grip out slightly.
Ive worked a lot on my bench form and finally have a set up that I like. I can stay tight throughout the whole lift now and don't have my feet move at all. Hardest thing for me is getting a good arch, I have an alright one but it could be a lot better.
Most people have no idea what scapula retraction even is lol
I know bro! Repped.i was actually agreeing with you
Yeah I hear you, it just takes time.

How does 5x5 work again? Its that Rippletoe workout or whatever right?
Well obviously everyone is built differently but the guys I see with long arms grip too wide and flare their elbows way out. Even if you do have long arms, a lot of grip width has to do with shoulder width and most lanky guys aren't very wide. But Im speaking from a strength/PL perspective though, if you have good form and can get stronger with a wide grip then by all means use it. Its best anyway for PL because it shortens the ROM and lets you move more weight.Wot? Srs?
I have t-rex arms and that would feel more like a close-grip bench than a "normal" one
That American Muscle show did not go over well with the strength/performance coach community lol. I missed it, anybody watch?
also finally have the cookies and cream quest bar. probably my fav, the fact that i paid $3 for it and inhaled it in honestly 30 seconds

I should of check NT before I went to the gym, I will def do this on my next chest day. Far as eat more, do you mean before I lift (pre-meal), or just in general? Because right now I'm on a cut.I actually might do that today, as today is chest day for me, but I want to get stronger on the barbell. My max is 185, ******* terrible :x
