Has this ever happened to you

My setup is kinda wacky I tap my toes the whole time I'm pressing probably getting no leg drive and I can't arch because of how I break it .

Yeah you need to plant your feet and not move them. Can't get leg drive if their dancing around. Now, I don't press as much as you but we all want you to reach your potential and to do that you're technique/set up needs to be perfect to put you in the best starting position to press.

Arch isn't a must. You can work on it though if you don't have any back injuries.

If you're giving yourself a lift off, I'm going to wager you're losing your tightness. Get someone to give you a lift off.

I'd talk to Hawk and have him help ya... he's a great guy and can help your bench reach new heights.

Yeah I'm not real worried about the arch but I know the feet are holding me back I have no injuries whatsoever so that's not an issue an yeah I break it myself which I need to fix too its part ego an part it throws me off when someone breaks it for me it feels like they drop the weight on me . Plus I just like ripping it out of the rack lol

POB, Hawkeye BrotherIron and PorkyLittleKeg are the ones you should be religiously listening to....I think some of us are excited to see what you can do because your form isn't tip top....yet you're just that fukking strong.

Glad to see you came around. Like I said, there are some guys with some great knowledge. I'm a smaller guy (200lbs-ish) and Brother Iron helped me with my bench setup. I had basically been stuck for a long time going nowhere. Within a month I was able to jump from 405 to hitting a lifetime PB of 420 in a comp.

Cant wait to see what you could do!

Looks like with some coaching, you're capable of adding 100lbs or so on your total dude.

I struggle with the life balance and getting in the gym too....constant battle.
