Bench - 1" ROM

I hate this extreme arching BS.
Wish they would fix rules, back flat on bench.

What is the fucking point, lol?


Since my gym closed due to the fauxdemic, I switched to floor presses at home using dumbbells. My chest is the best it ever has been now...

I ditched the bench for floor presses as well.

Zero shoulder pain now! I read that once the bench press became a staple in gyms years ago the incidence of shoulder injuries skyrocketed. Makes sense since bringing the elbow down below the plane of the torso hyperextends it.

They ruined a great sport with this fucking nonsene.

When I competed in the early to mid 70`s it was knee wraps, a belt, some chalk and desire.

There are guys hitting #s in sleeves/wraps and a belt that the guys in the 70s could only dream about

With their back flat on the bench? Comparing apples to oranges.
