Reply With QuoteYou need to keep your shoulders locked into position by pulling your scapula together, If you cant keep your elbows from flaring out to the side try using a narrower grip and focus on keeping them pinned to your side. Awesome rack BTW.

Bench Form Help
I've never been able to really get my bench form down, so I need some help. I'm not really sure what's happening with my elbows. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the tips. If I use a closer grip and tuck my elbows then the bar will have to go lower down on my chest towards my upper abs so that my forearms are straight under the bar. It feels awkward and I don't have as much strength.
Also, I taped myself from the front and found out that, a) the bar is coming down at a slant instead of straight across and b) my arms aren't the same length when locked out with my shoulder blades pulled together. I'm assuming this is a flexibility problem but I'm not really sure how to fix it....
