Closer grip or wider grip for flat bench?
Hey guys, I just switched from PF to a real gym and want to make sure my bench form is correct.
in the video, I use the first grip for almost all my bench sets. Multiple people have told me to use the second wider grip.
any tips would be helpful!

Pull ups form check
- Any advice on form?
- Do I need to consciously do scapular pull ups first and then the rest of the rep?
On the second note, I've seen people tell me "just pull yourself up and the scaps will take care of themselves" and I've also seen people say "try to pull your scapulas first and the rest of the pullup, that way you will engage more back muscles"
Though actively pulling the scaps first, makes them more difficult, I don't know if it's any helpful or not

Continental clean sucks - 100kg/220lbs
Learning this movement sucks lol. Attempted it last ye@r but ended up power cleaning in comp as I didn't get the hang of it. Picking it up again but it's really not my cup of tea, this is the heaviest I've done successfully though.
