iPhone iOS 8.0.1 is out. It fixes quite a few bugs but is causing major new bugs. Hold off updating. One good point is it fixes video and pic uploads.

No form tips?

I felt like I didn't have the leg drive (arch) like I've had before. My arms felt ok, but looking at the video I wonder if my elbows were flaring out.

Well, not much of a back arch. Looks like your lower back was on the bench. Plus no leg drive, you legs were bouncing a little and you were on your toes. Elbows didn't look like they were out to far.
I don't do a lot of barbell flat bench press. I stick to DB's mainly now(and HS). So I'm not the best critic on flat bench press...

Coming from a relatively crappy bencher, but I like to think that I know a thing about it because I've had to learn better form to wring every last pound out of my unbelievably lousy bench.

Like Turff mentioned, the feet/legs seemed loose - if they're so tight you're shaking, that's fine, but if they're loose tighten up. Can't tell if your wrists are drifting behind your elbows, but you always want them right over the elbows in a straight line. Also, lower the bar all the way unless pain or something is preventing you. If you're not lowering to keep more tension on the chest, none of these tips apply anyway and you shouldn't really be using a power form. Benchpress is a movement, and you have to modify it a lot to make it a worthwhile chest exercise. But a tight power form is generally safer for the shoulder girdle.
 
No expert here but I noticed your grip width is too close based on seeing your elbows dropping lower than body/bench. I learned this from watching "So you think you can bench " series.

I definitely agree with this. There have been times I've completely felt the leg help, but it's not all that often.

I do feel the tension on chest, and I feel the lat help (didn't used to).

I will definitely work on the wrists and elbows. I was supposed to stop the bar 1" above chest, but can't gauge that much tbh. Maybe a pause on the chest would help?

I definitely want to keep working on the power form. I think if I get it I have a lot of strength-growth left.

I only watched some of some of those. I'll make the series a priority, and try to work on that.

Thank you guys for all the input!

I would have to agree, as long as your shoulders can tolerate a wider grip of course. Can't go wrong w/ fists over elbows (to drive the bar in a straight line) but shorter bar travel w/ a wider grip is certainly desirable if tolerable. Multi-ply shirted benchers can go ultra-wide because the shirt supports the weight at the bottom instead of their shoulder girdle.
 
2nd day off in a row today. Body just wasn't feeling it. Back to chest and holders tomorrow sand I'll skip arms this week.

Going to pick up the new pup tonight.

She has some tall legs already. Might make squatting a little tough, but we'll start early.

I agree with this!

Big jump from 40 to 100 on the Kroc Rows. Probably needed another set like 80 before the 100's to get everything syncing and blood really flowing.
 
Nice work bud. Saw the bench as well, and they all had some good tips. I pretty much agree with everything what Hyde had to say but other than that keep posting em vids!! Lol

Thanks L&S. I'm gonna get some food in me now and hopefully tonight I'll sleep a little more.

Thanks Turff. I thought on Kroc Riws you don't really warmup? I just do the 40's to get a slight blood pump.

I will keep posting the vids. I want to get it down. I appreciate everyone's feedback too.

Thanks AT!
 
Agree with Turf.

When I do krocs, I do 5 strict db rows each arm with 70's, rest 30 seconds or so, then do the same with 85's. Rest like 2-3 minutes then hit an all out set with the 100's.

And this is all after I do my quick shoulder mobility/warm-up. Just my 2 cents.

And yes! Keep posting vids
 
Definitely hard to push through on no sleep and little fuel! You did a stellar job pushing though though as always!!

What did you think of the horizontal presses Thomas?

I had done these several times before, last year. Honestly, I kinda was just going through the motions at this point. They felt heavy, and without the face pull-squeezes, they wouldn't have been as enjoyable.

Yeah, and I'm ok with it. Just hoping I'm rested before legs tomorrow. Even if squats aren't on the menu. May do fronts instead of lunges though.

I had a day like that with chains on my back. Set like a drop set... drop a chain till you can go no further, then drop a chain till....... and on... I think I welled up too! lol
 
Going for PR's on leg curls and front squats today! Sleep wasn't great, but more than last night.
