I blew up my bench by incorporating leg drive—so much so that my glutes and hamstrings feel like they’re doing more work than my chest and shoulders 😭 I also noticed my hips rise about 1–2 inches off the bench, but it’s not really noticeable since my pants are thick. That said, does this mean my bench wouldn’t count by powerlifting standards?

that’s actually really good a lot of people don’t even use they’re legs at all so having them really engaged is helping your bench for sure!! In competition you wear a singlet to be able to see depth, glutes off the bench, etc. so if you were to wear one and your glutes came off the bench by a couple inches and the refs sees it, it won’t count 🥲 But in the gym, id count that anytime!!

How many reps counted?

Decided to ego-lift at the end of my bodybuilding workout. How many reps counted, and how can I perfect my form? https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWom3xPCmfK/?igsh=c213Zm43bGNneDM0

good stuff man! i counted 4 reps too. To help improve the bench form i would say dig your back into the bench more without it slipping and keep the feet still while you’re benching. once you get your feet placed, keep them there. other than that, solid bench bro 🫡💪🏼
