Bench Press check

[cutlet#]

Hi coaches. Could I get a little feedback on my bench? Hopefully the 45 degree perspective isn't totally worthless. I realize one of the links in the sticky recommends a taping from the spotter's perspective for bench, and I can get one of those next time if need be.

Thanks as always!

From here they look pretty good. I cannot tell where you are touching on the chest, or if your elbows are flaring out, but, in your defense, the bench is a difficult lift to film. This angle showed us that you are getting tight, staying tight, and keeping the bar under control. Your grip, while perhaps a touch wide, is fine. Getting to see something from the spotter's perspective would fill in the rest of the details.
