why do dyels love bench press so much?
>>76934473Commendable flexbility, cute tummy also would breed if he wears a wig and makeup and shaes
>>76934501Shaves*
>>76934473But I don't love bench.
>no ROM>never activates major muscle groups>literally zero gains>"doesn't matter, number went up"This is why gymfags are the worst.
Every contest is bullshit given enough time and interest. Someone with 14" arms will come along and break every bench record because what qualifies as a rep is based on anatomy, not objective distance.
>>76934501fag
>>76934702No fucking shit, retard
>>76934794then why are you getting mad, fag?
>>76934636they mog you
>>76934473Xir's wrists are begging for mercy
>>76935909that bridge is impressive though
>>76935995>ass a foot off the benchNothing about that is impressive
>>76934473that's not even full rom
>>76934473Sure it looks ridiculous, but you guy calling him dyel do see he's actually jacked though right? I mean just look at his forearms. No doubt he could probably do that weight full rom for at least a double, something none of the people in this thread can even come close to. Most of you would probably just fold from unracking 175kg
>>76936893>"Look at all that purple.">"Our gym is so gay."
>>76934473mirin' flexibility
>sit on bench for a couple hours just watchin tv>pump out a few reps just whenever of 2 pl8swhy wouldnt you like this?
>>76934473I think the barbell bench press is a pretty bad exercise for chest. After years of lifting and many form variations, I can't seem to get mind muscle connection with my pecs. I always feel it most in my shoulders. I think that dumbbell bench press and cable crossovers are vastly superior because I can get a full stretch on my pecs and achieve a larger ROM.
>>76937124Seconded. Benched for years. Barbell benched 245 for 5s, incline 185 for 10s, db chest flye 60's for 12, all kinds of traditional chest work. Then I found this particular cable press machine, nothing special about it, but the path of resistance and the range of motion were absolutely peak. Deep stretch, full crunch. I maxed out the machine for 20's, so couldn't even do proper ~12rm sets, but regardless, my chest blew up more in the next few weeks than anything I had ever done before.
>>76937124>>76937181You cunts are just doing it wrong
Couldn't find a stupid questions thread so I'll post here.I'm a dyel and never feel my chest or pecs working when I bench or do any other chest exercise, no matter how I position myself or tuck my elbows in. At most, I feel it in back, shoulder blades or arms, why?
>>76937921The weakest muscle will always tire first
>>76937921Try elbows and wrists rotated inwards more, and try arched/flatback. Super strict vs heavy, etc. For me it's a stiff arm pec shrug kinda deal to get the mmc right. Reverse bench is sick too.
>>76938390>wide chestFlared elbows bar closer to neck.>thickUnderhand/neutral push through, it'll be tricep fominant but that rom is where the pec major is loaded the most for like a cut chest.>upperMore mid width grip I am working on closer grip, I like a lower incline with less arch.>lowerIf you only do dips and arched bench but I'd wanna do that enough to keep the entire strength of chest up. No harm in adding a not so lagging bodypart to the end of a workout.
>>76937921you're probably referring to the feeling of squeezing the muscle, most chest exercises don't have you fully contracting the pecs they go from stretched to neutral it's like trying to squeeze your biceps with your arm extended you can flex it and it's not weak but you can't feel the squeezecable cross overs are probably the best exercise for squeezing the pecs in theory I find that simply pushing the dbs together after flyes can squeeze them until they cramp up I can't speak for the effect this has on gains it does feel good
>>76934473I like spamming wide grip bench. You don't have an arnold chest.
>>76938416You probably hit more delts on bench, try some prison reps and just contract pecs mostly. Take the weight up then drop it until pec failure. Now I can jump into a topserlt with barely any warmup and hit pecs.
