i read conflicting views on this....what are your takes on it?
How much can a towel possibly weigh?try a towel bench
Just be careful going heavy...that is a quick road to shoulder injury.I bench to the neck, it keeps you from having sloppy form, and it gives me a great stretch.
Well, you can keep constant tension while touching your chest.i say you start a poll so it's not so hard to count the number of votes for each, first of all :lol: second, i vote for a few inches above the chest. this provides constant tension as opposed to setting the bar on your chest for a second. also(for me at least) if i go all the way to my chest, my arms are bent way too far down and that puts even more emphasis on my delts. IMHO BB bench is just an ego lift anyway. there are way better exercises for pecs. try switching it up to DB bench, i bet you'll like it
All the way to the chest! Why don't people train with a full range of motion anymore?
I don't like that article. He's saying that going full range of motion with the bar is greater than full range of motion for the shoulders, thus an injury is likely. If you employ scapular retraction (pinch shoulder blades) and some degree of elbow tuck, the amount of shoulder rotation for a full range of motion press is significantly reduced.
:toofunny:Just because i read something that says sh*t tastes good, does not mean i am having it for dinner.
for sure, you definintly gotta watch the whole shoulder complex doing these. I usually use them as warm up's, then go to DB's for my working sets.Just be careful going heavy...that is a quick road to shoulder injury.
