The other day, I did 100 pound dumbbell presses for a clean 9 reps on the flat bench. I believe the most I ever pressed were the 115's on flat for a few reps.
The thing is, my barbell bench press sucks. I've never barbell benched more than 185 on the flat (45 and 25 on each side + 45 pound Olympic barbell). I could do like 185 for 2-3 reps. I have tried everything to increase my barbell bench. Low reps, high reps, fast reps, slow reps, different hand positions, smith machine, hammer strength, benching like a power lifter, arms flailed out, elbows tucked in--you name it, I have tried it.
How is possible to be strong with the dumbbells, but so substantially weak with the barbell? ??? ???
And, is there a way to overcome this deficit?

Are you trying to tear the bar in half?

My guess is you have strong pecs but weaker triceps. The dumbbells allow you to utilize your pectoral strength more.
-
What? ??? ???
He means, when you grab the bar, you are trying to bend it away from you (or break it) in an upside-down "U" shape. I've read this tip over the years but never got it and it never seemed to work for me. Just seems like a waste of energy that could be focused on lifting the weight.

Actually, visibly speaking, pecs are my weakest bodypart. They may be my strongest, but they are under-developed when compared to other body parts in terms of size. Is this possible? Can they be my smallest bodypart, but strongest? ???

Correct. However it never really worked for me either. I'm in the same boat as SF1900, ok with dumbells but weak on bench. I attribute it partly to almost never training with a partner so I don't have a spotter. But even when I did train with a partner I never went up much on the bench. :-\

They say to act as if you are trying to bend the bar in half when pressing,supposedly it helps with pressing.All I can say to get a stronger bench is dip,dip and dip and I mean dip down as low as you can possibly stretch think chin in armpit level with weight and pause the bottom.I did this for many years starting with body weight and progressing to 2 100 lb plates hanging between legs and it brought my bench all the way to 500 lbs.Make the tris as strong as possible and focus on benching more than anything else.Stick with military press with dumbbells deep with pauses,dips,chins,heavy incline press,and a big one is do high reps on bench press,people laugh when I say this but when I was repping 225-275 and worked up to lots of reps is when I was my strongest.
I am a tricep bencher so I focused more and more on triceps.Also I benched flat back feet in air or on bench with no leg drive whatsoever so my benching was all upper body no leg drive.As I don’t care much for legs more than keeping them tight and lean never liked big legs but if you have big strong legs then get that leg drive working.
Pause all presses military,bench,narrow grips,reverse grips etc...also do presses from bottom position on smith or in power rack.Pause pause and pause.
I’m no champion bencher but I got pretty damn strong.
And honestly dB benching will build a bigger chest so keep going the way your going as listto ning to me will wreck your shoulders.
-
Benching 330 lbs for few reps on barbell, 121 lbs dumbbell however in a good day i caught 12 reps out of them. A few of guys i know in the gym however are better on barbell than me by a bit but worser on dumbbell for some reason.
You shoudl't be sad, barbell does not build pecs that's for sure, dumbbells will !

Have you tried any negatives with a heavier weight than you can handle?

Thanks for the input. Ive actually tried the pausing technique for bench press. Didn't work. I do dips every work out. ??? ???

Yeah, I have heard that dumbbells are superior to barbells. I think the barbell bench press has maintained its stronghold because Arnold had a huge chest and he benched a lot with the barbell.
-
I’m not a great bencher by any means but if I had to say one thing that helped bring mine up was pausing all bench press reps on the chest and same for military press pausing on the upper chest and close grip bench again on the chest
-
Have you tried any negatives with a heavier weight than you can handle?
Nope, never tried this. I train alone, so I often don't have a partner to help me lift through the positive part of the movement.
-

As stated above, I have tried the pausing at the bottom of the movement--but still didn't work. Thanks for the advice anyway!
I am looking forward to the day that you, Vince, Fitness Frenzy and myself all move in together in Vince's new home. :D :D

I stopped bench pressing over 10 years ago. That said, my best bench numbers were 315lbs for 10 reps and a 1RM of 450lbs. After having shoulder surgery a number of years back, I swore to never fuck around with barbell bench presses and only stick to either dumbbells or machines presses. I have now truly fallen in love with machine presses (I know, what a faggot).
Anyway, in my early days, I always found that a way to increase reps on a weight range that you struggled with was to go heavier and work on getting good reps with the higher weight.
For instance, if I could only do 225lbs for 4-5 reps, I would instead stick to 235lbs for 2-3 reps and continuously work to improve the reps with the higher weight for about 2 months. By month 3, I would then fall back to the 225lbs and usually I would then be able to get 8-10 reps, assuming I improved my reps with the higher weight.
I know it sounds basic as fuck, but it did work.
Another trick was to change the grip on the barbell, don't tuck in your thumbs, use a false grip instead, but be careful, you can kill yourself.

That's loser talk SF >:(
I bet you incorporate more muscles (from calves up) when you're doing DB because you need more stability with them. Make sure you're just as tight on BB. Engage as many muscles as you can. You can do it!!

That was one of the techniques and I learned when I shifted my training from bodybuilding to powerlifting following an 8 months period in which I couldn't press even a 10 lb dumbbell without feeling like an ice pick was stabbing me in the right shoulder due to bursitis (/run-on sentence).
It was described to me as "break the bar". As in you're trying to "break the bar as if it were a stick". Doing so forces your elbows to come in or stay in and bring the triceps into the movement to a greater degree.
A big bench press is more of a tricep movement than it is a chest movement.
IMO, it's 50% triceps, 30-35%pec, & 15-20% anterior delt.
Also body-position is also crucial. If you look in the mirror when you flex your chest, note D position of your upper arms in relation to your torso (as well as hand position). Your hands are usually down by your belly button and your upper arms aren't perpendicular to the Torso as they are with a conventional bodybuilding Style bench press. This is what you want to mimic while performing a barbell bench press if maximum weight is the goal.
If you look at a musculature anatomy chart you'll notice the PEC fibers don't Thai in, or run perpendicular from the sternum to the shoulder joint. They run more at a 45 degree angle. So you want to mimic that plane of movement like I mentioned above in order to recruit as many pec fibers as possible (this is why when looking at EMG charts, the decline bench press recruits more total PEC fibers, including upper chest fibers, than either the flat or incline. Yes, the decline bench press recruits more "upper PEC" than incline bench press as per EMG studies)... The rest is triceps involvement.

That's interesting. I never considered the fact that I may be utilizing more muscle groups when using DB's as opposed to barbell.
Thank you for the motivation!

Yeah my chest was it’s biggest when all I did was heavy flyes and heavy dB benches so fuck benching all it did was ruin my shoulders.rather look like I can bench 400 and bench 200 than bench 400 and look like I can do 200.

Go into the power rack. Place a flat bench inside. Set bars to chest level. Start the pressing movement from the chest not the rack. Each rep you do come to a complete stop on the bars at your chest then press up again. Leave your ego at the door. Watch just how fast you get powerful in this lift by doing it this way. It takes all the cheating and momentum out of the movement and forces all muscle needed to lift to perform at full intensity. Do not use a spotter. Repeat, do not use a spotter, all effort on you.

My normal chest workout is something like this:
Flat barbell bench press
Flat or incline flyes
Dumbell incline presses
Smith machine presses or hammer strength
Dips

Ive stated above that I have tried to pause the bar on my chest for a second, then press.
Would this be any different?

Big back = big bench

Big back = big bench
Clearly, that is not the case for me, as my back is perhaps my top bodypart, and my bench press sucks.
I think I may be back/shoulder and arm dominant because my chest SUCKS!! It's pretty flat.
Im a lifetime natural. Yes, I realize I am nothing special, but never claimed to be.

Nothing to flame. Power and strength for the sake of this discussion are based on percentages and supplemental lifts that reinforce the main lift. Quick answer, conjugate

I don't understand. How much more can I keep trying to build my back to get a bigger bench press? After all these years, it just seems like a hopeless endeavor, though I shall not give up!

And, is there a way to overcome this deficit?
How far down are you going with those dumbbells? If you are doing half reps then of course 185 will seem heavy. If you can lower 100lbs to maximum depth to full extension you should be repping 225 with ease. Every gym I go to lately guys are try to lift the weight in the easiest way possible instead of the hardest that would tax the muscles. I can grab 100lbs dumbbells and do a bunch of reps stopping when my upper arm is parallel to the floor. That's about a half rep. Instead I use the 80lbs and go deep for the full rep. Having said all that the bench is the most over rated exercise going. Every gym you see guys benching and curling.
-
Interesting, I train with a guy who reps 315 for 8 reps flat bench barbell and incline barbell, but can't even get the 75 lb dumbells for 5 reps, exact opposite of you, and his chest is terrible, very weak on dips as well, very strange.

I always use a full ROM. I always use excellent form in the gym. I lower the dumbbell to maximum depth to where the outside of the dumbbell touches my chest.
I should be repping 225 with ease with a, but obviously I am not.

Well, I guess I have a strong back. I don't know. How does one determine if they have a strong back? ??? ??? I don't deadlift due to a past double inguinal hernia. I primarily do wide grip chins, barbell rows, t-bar rows, dumbbell rows and some machine work (different lat pulldown attachments). I surmise my back is pretty strong, but I really have no way of measuring how strong it really is.

Dude it's strange, he only calls me to train chest because he's trying to bring up his chest, he's strong as shit in certain exercises, but has no endurance, can't handle any volume, sucks at dumbell work, can squat a ton as well as deadlift, it's the strangest thing I've ever seen lol.

As long as you are strong on the movements you mention here, why the need to "measure" your back strength? Deadlifts use a lot of leg strength too, so they're not a very accurate gauge of back strength on it's own. If you can BB row your bodyweight for 10 strict reps, that is pretty strong.

Yes, I can BB row my own bodyweight for 10 strict reps.

Train specifically to get stronger if that's what you want to achieve, 3-5 triples done in the neighborhood of 85% of your 1rm absolutely work. If you don't care too much then don't worry, if you're training for looks the bench is unnecessary. Good luck.

Yeah my chest was it’s biggest when all I did was heavy flyes and heavy dB benches so fuck benching all it did was ruin my shoulders.rather look like I can bench 400 and bench 200 than bench 400 and look like I can do 200.
I stopped benching after my last contest (many moons ago). Occasionally I would throw up some heavy weight for fun but chest has always looked best from dumbbell work.

Just do Smith Inclines and heavy flyes.............nobody benches after their neophyte period.

I tried Smith flat benches for several months and always felt like whatever was on the bar was barely have the real weight. I switched to a different machine (can't think of the name) and that wasn't much, if at all, better. My left arm "clicks" around the elbow so maybe I have "tennis elbow" without ever having swung a racket. That alone keeps me from doing dips.

I've noticed a few guys at my gym have similar problems. I see them bench press +100lb dumbells but their strength doesn't seem to transition well to the barbell movement.
I'm the opposite. I don't bench but I can strict overhead barbell press +220lbs. However, I find pressing even 40lb dumbells overhead to be quite challenging. It might just be a balance issue but the slightly varying mechanics on similar looking lifts can make a lot of difference.

I think you got some solid advises with previous posts.
Here is mine short and sweet. Becouse if i would get too specific it would take a novel long post.
1. Train the Bench powerlifting style (just a solid arch, it will protect your shoulders) if you don't want to arch before lying on the Bench roll your shoulders up and back and just lay on the Bench. Use this technique on all chest exer. It will get the delts out of the movement.
2. Like previously mentioned go for Bench rep PR's in training.
3. Reduce the number of exer. to 4 max. It would be even better to add a pullower movement for the ribcage.
4. Increasing your strength on Bench will corelate to more weight used on both Bench and on accessory exer.
Resulting in even more more mass.
5. Arnold Benched. And had the best chest in history.
So Bench. ;D

Press the barbell, not the bench

havent read through the thread, so not sure if amyone has posted this but most people who bench use too much shoulders and eventually end up messing up their rotator cuffs. the way to hit chest in a big way doing bp is to utilize your stabilizing muscle (lats) and activate them while you use the bp movement also while keeping your elbows tucked in. you will have to use lighter weight than you are accustomed to, but you will feel it hard in your chest
-
I think by now MOST people know its not, but there are people who still think I am 30-40% bodyfat, despite posting some pics in this thread. ??? ??? ;D ;D :D :D :D
However, some people still think I am Asian--people have met me. I am not Asian, but its funny that they continue to think so. :D :D
If you're not Asian, what are you? That fat slob holding the drink is not you? That guy is definitely Asian and could NOT push 100lb dumbbells for 9 clean (full range) reps.
To prove you're not trolling, all you have to do to more pics of yourself with the name SF1900 in it, with the name of this thread.
-
also if you do not incorporate flies into your chest day i think that would help you improve a lot. the fly movement is a more accurate representation of how the chest is supposed to move and in that regard is better than the bench so you would benefit from doing this exercize. i suggest using a machine to do flies only because most people do not do dumbbell flies correctly and you have to focus on much less using the machine (you dony have to stabilize the weight, or makesure it hits your chest etc)

True. Flyes and rows are the most incorrectly performed bodybuilding exercises.

Youve been here long enough to know that the gimmick "Jon Harridan" was using those pics last year. Then, Walter Sobchak randomly started to call me "Asian," and of course, DJ181 (who started to post those pics) and ESFITNESS believed him. I was not the who initially started the rumor/trolling--I just went with it.

I’d say flyes are prob the best for a big wide chest and yes most do them wrong.For me flyes should be bent arm and just do the bottom half of the exercise as once you go past that the weight is on the shoulder joint.
-
i've accepted the fact that, after 30 years of training, my chest is not a strength and just gotta live with being all shoulders and back.
-
Is there any merit in pinching the shoulder blades together while bench pressing? I read using that technique involves more chest and less shoulders. Or, is it just broscience?
I guess something like this

It is not a horrid movement. Inflexibility in the shoulders and chest make it a problem.
Pushups are a inferior movement to barbbell bench press if your goals are max muscle and strength.
I still occasionally do them as a finisher. ;D

from an injury perspective pushups r superior. if you stopped benching entirely, and switched to pushups.... u would lose no size and further improve.

Laura Phelps-Sweatt benches 505 pounds at 165 pounds bodyweight, which is unbelievable. How does she do it? Let’s look at her speed day. Laura’s raw bench is 335 pounds,
Her bench shirt adds 170lbs to her lift.

The top fat boys can get 300 pounds extra on those bench FACT
And if you get Great wraps and squat suits that can also give you 300 pounds extra

yep. shoulders pinched. elbows tucked in. let elbiows almost come down in front of you as opposed to at the side. bar down to nipple line.
it may feel uncomfortable to start with. but stick with it and your numbers will increase pretty quickly. also will massively negate shoulder problems benching like that.

Clearly, that is not the case for me, as my back is perhaps my top bodypart, and my bench press sucks.
I think I may be back/shoulder and arm dominant because my chest SUCKS!! It's pretty flat.
Im a lifetime natural. Yes, I realize I am nothing special, but never claimed to be.

Takes us right back to lifting programs and genetics. Take to women one on a bodybuilding the other on a power lift program taking the same gear but trying to achieve the same goals of a record setting bench press, who do you think would win?

It doesn't matter who would "win" because what it means to be a woman loses. I don't give a shit about women wanting to be men and I honestly find it disgusting. If a man took female hormones and entered beauty pageants what would you call him? A "shim"? A "sheMale"?
How about mentally ill?
I refuse to play moral limbo. What is wrong is wrong, in life and in sport. I refuse to rationalize this sort of thing.

Or be like former East German feMale shot-putter Heidi Krieger who had so much AAS pumped into her ("unknowingly") that it decided sHe was a man and is now known as Andreas Krieger. Of course it uses the PC honored excuse of having always know sHe should have a hot dog instead of a claim. These beings will use the PC excuse of being a man trapped in the body of a woMan and so the drugs are their E-Ticket to Shenisland and the life of "who and what they truly are". No drugs and women are for the vast majority, much weaker than men. That is how nature intended it.
These cuntletts used to claim God made them this way and so made a mistake but now they hate the idea of God and so use Mofo Nature as their fuckup excuse.

I must say i enjoy your postings Mr. Scott. Although it can be said that maybe the language used is a bit strong.
The facts are facts. In this age of relativity we must say it like it is.
Being always politicly correct or trying to not be triggering is wrong.
That why Getbig is still the fortress of freedom of speach i
think.
Concerning the feamales using male hormones. It is just wrong on so many levels.
Very few females can mantain their femininity on anabolics.
Cant understand why a woman would want to look like a man.
Unless a sex change procedure.

When I first started to train and got into it heavily, I was getting ready for a show--I got a double inguinal hernia that was extremely painful and didn't do the show. I was in surgery like 2 weeks later. After that, I lost care with competing. I've always been 100% lifetime natural, so I'd get destroyed by drugged up guys. So it just seems like a lost cause at this point.

Correct. However it never really worked for me either. I'm in the same boat as SF1900, ok with dumbells but weak on bench. I attribute it partly to almost never training with a partner so I don't have a spotter. But even when I did train with a partner I never went up much on the bench. :-\
Try (if you can) to bench in a power-rack with the pins set correctly.
Where you can still pause at the chest, but if stuck, you roll it back a bit toward your neck a bit more, then you are stuck no more.
-
Who said I was not interested in it? ??? ??? I asked for input and input was offered. What else should be done?
Here is the ONLY way to get this done:
1. Stop your current routine. Take 2 weeks off.
2. Purchase the book Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe on Amazon. Opt for ONE DAY delivery. You will be doing a lot of reading during your 2 week layoff and you need to start this reading ASAP.
3. Read the damn book. Cover to cover. Then read the damn book again, with a pen and a notebook. Take notes.
4. Do EVERYTHING the book tells you to do.
5. Don't ADD or SUBTRACT exercises from the program.
6. After the two week lay off/reading the book you will be ready to begin your Linear Progression Programming of Squats, Bench Presses, Overhead Presses, Deadlifts and Power Cleans.
7. Perform the workouts as indicated. Do not miss workouts. Do not customize the Program. Read the damn book.
8. Small, weak men from this forum and others will show you pictures of a fat adolescent and warn you not to drink a gallon of milk a day. Ignore these people. The GOMAD recommendation is for skinny teens and nobody else.
9. Read the damn book.

Ive ordered the book. I expect to be a monster by Christmas.

Here is the ONLY way to get this done:
1. Stop your current routine. Take 2 weeks off.
2. Purchase the book Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe on Amazon. Opt for ONE DAY delivery. You will be doing a lot of reading during your 2 week layoff and you need to start this reading ASAP.
3. Read the damn book. Cover to cover. Then read the damn book again, with a pen and a notebook. Take notes.
4. Do EVERYTHING the book tells you to do.
5. Don't ADD or SUBTRACT exercises from the program.

"Stold"? LOL....Madcow, Stronglifts, Lean Gains, etc. are knock offs of Bill Starr and Mark Rippetoe. But of course it's possible since English is obviously fairly new to yourself, you may have misunderstood something you think you saw when you were fooling around on the Interwebz.
