not bad, i don’t know if you should be lifting weights in sandles and you should probably have a spotter too if you are struggling like that for one rep
I doubt his choice of shoe will really affect his bench performance a lot.
There’s one thing you should have learned from this site…it’s ALL in the shoe.
Is that really the one thing I should have learned? That shoes are important? Why would you say it is important in this instance, and how would his choice of shoe affect his bench performance? [/quote]
It’s a T-Nation in joke.
Search for Eliteballa3’s bf% thread and all will become clear.

Ahahaha thanks, and shoes doesn’t have anything to do with ur lifts lol, u use ur upper body not ur lower.[/quote]
In an effort to prevent injury and increase your bench press you might want to do some research on proper setups. You could be surprised to find that the proper placement of your lower body has a direct effect on your bench press ability.
For example, planting your shoes firmly into the floor allows you to impart drive through your lower body and stabilizes your upper body so you can lift more weight.
Never kid yourself. The correct execution of heavy compound lifts require participation from your entire body.
A nice sized lift for a fifteen year old by any standard.
However you have a very noticible disparity between your left and right side. Ironing out this difference as well as further technique tweaking should lead to a significant increase weight, as well as safer gains.
