He said "looking dumb as fuck"... 
if you ever worry about how you look in the gym you are NOT truly working out!
Took me many years to figure that out now when I go to the gym I pay attention to no one, and only concern myself with
the results and I feel good.

Peace,
It doesn't look dumb at all. It's an accepted form of benching.

I beg to differ.
Here is my proof. LOL
Every now and then, I will see something truly stupid that completely distracts me
actually three
in this order.
1. dead lifts
2. barbell squats
3. bench press
and if you are picky
4. barbell overhead presses
Right. I been working on my bench a lot more lately cuz that's where I been weak at and this what I keep hearing minus the leg raising part.
It's supposed to lock you in and keep your elbows from wiggling all over the place cuz that's how you fuck up your shoulders.
You gotta keep your traps pressed into the bench.
i've seen guys do that and this
and was like huh??
Yeah that's how some cats end up looking looks like it hurt. He still in a bad position cuz his elbows aren't tucked at 45 degrees.
besides looking dumb as fuck what exactly is the benefit of benching like this
Don't do it. It has been debunked as counter-productive. Let your body do the a natural arch but don't lift too heavy that you lift your entire lower back up.
I stand corrected!True..Deads are my favorite lifts
for years the big three were my main lifts...(barbell Squats 3 days a week) but the casual lifter or sedentary person only asks you "what do you bench?" in most cases they don't even mess with the other big two or overhead presses, snatches, cleans etc. They'll be playing around with machines or doing curls for their whole workouts
As for the question the OP asked. putting your legs up helps to aid you in maintaining proper form and not 0ver arch while pressing. You can really only do that during warm-ups, pre-exhaustion phase or lifting lighter for muscular endurance. My old coach taught me that in grade 9, and i still do it till this day whenever i'm lifting lighter to really focus on isolating the chest
The only people who think you would look stupid are pussies who have no fucking clue about training..or stupid meatheads who spend more time wrapping up their joints and back than stretching.
i've seen guys do that and this
and was like huh??
"ceiling sexuals"
Always see these jackasses in the gym...most times they have a spotter who's pretty much doing barbell rows while they're lifting the bar off of them and screaming "ITS ALL YOU!!!"
^Agreed. I'd like to respectfully add pullups to this list. Imho it separates the men from the boys (especially if you have some lbs on ya)......

as an avid gym goer I think that is some homo shit when I see that. for real
you'll never catch SOI with his legs up like a hoe getting it missionary stlye

I've never seen anyone avoid the bench press
It's all a lot of people do. Some dudes are in there three days a week benching for an hour.
I'm like
at least you're in there
i've seen guys do that and this

I don't judge what people do, because people going to the gym is more than a lot of people do.
This is the only shit I look at funny.
The shit that people do that can hurt themselves.
I'll love weighted pulls and dips. the dips especially when I cant be bothered to bench press
LOOK UP THE 300 WORKOUT ON YOUTUBE THATS ONE OF THE EXERCISES BUT THEY ARE KICKING THEIR LEGS OUT STRAIGHT AND RAISING THEM TO THE BAR TO WORK THOSE ABS CRAZY!!besides looking dumb as fuck what exactly is the benefit of benching like this
The don't do a bench. They just hold the barbell help. it is a totally different exercise.
Yeah, it's amazing how many people can't do pullups. They sure as shit ain't doing weighted pullups.

I see guys using the assisted pullup machine all the time but they never move over to the pullup bars
. I found that women love to see guys doing pullups, whenever i do them i'll always catch them looking, if u really wanna get them do some corncob pullups
women love to see guys working out period, I stay catching women with that quick glance thing they do, or looking at me in the mirrors.I see guys using the assisted pullup machine all the time but they never move over to the pullup bars
I do weighted pull ups and dips, i feel like for certain moves people should be able to move more than their own body weight.Yeah, it's amazing how many people can't do pullups. They sure as shit ain't doing weighted pullups.
I avoid barbell bench, I find that shit is rough on the shoulders the way it locks you hand in the same position at the top and bottom of the movement. so I do dumb bell bench press, which i find is way harder anyway, jut adding in the balance factor makes them tough.
on upperbody lifts except for clean and press i stay away from the barbell on a whole, even for shrugs and upright rows i use the dumb bells, less joint stress
