Better just to speak for yourself instead of making blanket pronouncements that are so easily destroyed with just a few examples, you'll be more credible. Some guys who have been injured, who never bother with bench anymore such as chick and myself, did nothing wrong in terms of form. Consider yourself lucky (and oblivious, obviously) that you've been blessed with good genetics.
FYI since it's highly unlikely to have occured to you to try long enough to find out, someone with good genetics could do any number of chest exercises aside from BB benches-flys, weighted pushups and/or DB presses and get as good or better results.
FYI - i've competed on the highest level of the NPC and USAPL powerlifting...i've tried it ALL. you have never even stepped on a stage.
You are the one with blanket statements dude. I am posting from experience, i have trained HUNDREDS of guys in the last 10 years, all agree with me. the top strength coaches in the WORLD follow protocols similar to mine, they must be idiots as well.
I'm done argueing, i will LET you have your board back. it's quite obvious that people who have studied the human body have no place here.
You actually think a guys form is perfect because the guy says so on the internet!...lol...try training in a gym and see how many guys use good form. maybe 1 out of 50 guys use proper form, but that's just my experience from training with world class bodybuilders and power lifters...my mistake.
You have ZERO knowledge of anatomy or biomechanics. I've studied EVERY point on the human body, don't get me started.
The old man using a bowflex compares himself to Chick...chick flat benched for a LOOOONG time and i bet his shoulder issues weren't caused ONLY by flat bench. how many 40 year old me do you know that DON'T have shoulder problems? my dad's shoulders are fucked and he hasn't touched a weight in 15 years. must be flat bench MANIA!!!
I guess Ronnie is just fooling himself by doing flat bench. same goes for Branch and Jonnie, two of the best chests in the history, not to mention Arnold.
ANSWER MY QUESTION - WHY DO YOU USE A BOWFLEX YET SPOUT OFF ALL THIS MUMBO JUMBO ON THE INTERNET?
have you actually pressed over 225 before? i'm serious dude, i'm trying to help you!
Whoever gave this guy Mod powers, probably never lifted weights...Sorry Ron, this guy is about as intelligent as a box of rocks.
Take care guys, as always, just PM me for advice. i'll stand down, i have work to do.
Delete this and you will prove my point AGAIN.
MELTDOWN!
