I waited a few days before posting this because I watched it on Chest Monday and it kind of threw off my whole workout having watched multiple people drop 300+ lbs on their chest over and over.
The biggest thing I wonder about when watching these videos is, how do the self videos of kids working out in their basement end up on the YouTube? Do they like humiliating themselves so they put it up themselves? Do they send it to dickhead friends who then post it on YouTube for them? If so, why aren’t these friends spotting some of these poor souls?
If you learn anything from this video, it is that suicide grip is called that for a reason.
Suicide Grip - noun - A bench press grip that involves placing the thumb behind the index finger (as opposed to wrapping it around the barbell)
Suicide Grip puts excess strain on your wrists compared to a regular grip, and in the worst case scenario, you can more easily end up like one of the assholes in this video.
