Title: What could be possible explanations for lifting discrepancies between bench
Post by: Deicide on June 11, 2009, 05:28:03 AM

press, deadlift, shoulder press and other 'heavy exercises'?

I have made decent improvements in everything since I started but my bench was always the worst and has always lagged behind. Could the reason be anatomical in nature? What could be the cause?

Cheers

Of course, but the question is what sort of horrible genetic deficiency?

maybe you need to spend more time actually benching and less time creating stupid threads  :-\

I was also stuck with 90kg for quite some time. HST brought it up to 120kg.

 ::) Epically retarded comment. It is an honest question because my other lifts are reasonably good and I would like to know why there is such a huge difference between my bench and other excercises. It is certainly not for a lack of benching. ::)

Today I was struggling with 80kg for 10 reps. Could barely knock out the last one (embarassing) so someone had to help me lift the bar off my chest. :-\ ;D

That could well be the reason. I have read for example that where tendons attach, shoulder joints and such can have an enormous impact on the bench press, as a singular exercise.
