  1. The age-old weak bench press discussion

    Actually I took your advice today when I trained chest, and I actually noticed an improvement by becoming acclimated with higher weights before my work sets. Generally, my warm-ups were crap. I was always a believer in simply getting the muscle stretched to and used to the ROM rather than the...
