narrow shoulders

To do bench press, you dont need will power like Squat.

From what I have seen over the years and read on here,

1. for how much it is done
2. what emphasis is put on it
3. and for how many people know about it

Bench press is the exercise I see that people suck at the most generally. You always see people say how overrated it is, how it doesn't matter etc which usually ='s "I suck bad at bench press" Hell I would say on most standard gyms less than 1% of the males that attend can bench even come close to benching 315 unassisted. Why this is I don't know exactly. I think some people are just built to bench press and others are not.

swilkins1984 · « **Reply #20 on:** June 25, 2008, 03:09:13 PM »

Probably deadlifts esp. without wraps and I have never squatted over 315. I prefer higher reps squats 225-275.

Sassyclassywoman · « **Reply #21 on:** June 25, 2008, 03:11:10 PM »

Seated side laterals with dumbells is so hard for me to do. I can only do 10 lb dumbells.

BigNBloated · « **Reply #22 on:** June 25, 2008, 03:29:12 PM »

LOL what are you guys thinking posting your real lift numbers?

Unfortunately for me I cant bench over 485 and I have a problem curling anything over 130lb dumbells.

Really though the biggest thing that annoys me is my general good strength. Its been easy for me to get up to a 315 lb 1rm on bench but I cant do it consistantly and usually cant bench anything past avg higher number weights for a gym rat. So its pretty discouraging that I just lift well and cant move past that.
