Why is everyone obsessed with bench
>>77582598Because of gay faggot ugly nig AHNOLD and his sugar daddy Weider that made Chest training popular and mandatory. Weider loved dem AHNOLD titties to cum on. Arnold gave up his ass for roids. - You can fact check me. Big Chest was seeing as feminine for obvious reasons before their fetishism. Men should focus on Shoulders, look up at bodies like Ancient Greek and Roman statues, look up at Sandow. All Shoulder and Arm focused. None of that gay faggot Chest and Legs crap you see these days. The only way for a man to look good, is to have big Shoulders and big Arms.

>>77582598>>77582610You wouldn’t be complaining if you were good at it. These are cries of inadequacy. I love bench, when done with the proper grip (most people go too wide) it builds shoulders just fine and helps increase OHP. Also,you’re not getting the body of pic rel without some kind of chest work.
because you get a nice little lie down
>>77582598Bench is my least favorite movement, but I still do it. Squats are my favorite movement. Nothing upper body matters if you don't have a solid foundation underneath it.
it's a heavy lift but it's not legs
>>77582598Same reason a pullup will always be cooler than a lat pulldown. Pushing a free heavy object away from you has a primal appeal that a machine cannot replicate.
>>77582660>you’re not getting the body of pic rel without some kind of chest work.i think the most crucial component to chest development is mentioned time and again by jay cutler in every vid he talks about it: >it's about the tension on the chest keeping the chest out, KEEPING THE CHEST OUT .... https://www.youtube.com/shorts/0MLP71Gu-uQand he means contracted serratus, he means lat spread, when scaps go wide when serratus anterior is contracted and holds scaps out the transfer of force isn't above the shoulder, it can now go BELOW the shoulder, where the pecs are and as soon as you lose the serratus contraction and lat spread you round shoulders and it all lands in delts and traps >but isn't th e first commandement of bench to squeeze scaps together to keep em back and down ? yes, otherwise shoulders blow up, you see bench is retarded like that, it doesn't do chest (it's lats done "perfectly" or does chest somewhat but your shoulders blow up :D and if you take note jay NEVER does full rom, EVER, it's always some very short pulse rather than actually "lifting" the weight, i basically reinvented what he does and made it a rule: undulating isometric hold in a very specific bodily alignement, slow quaterrepsso i drew this picture and it does the inner pecs, rubber pulled with forearm with bent elbow from above, but same positioning pressing down sideways inward with palm will get you the rest of it - it's perfectly in alignement with pec major muscle fibers, it is it's function - but the most important thing is to keep your LAT SPREAD doing any chest motion, keep serratus contracted, keep your chest out as jay says, so when i set up i ACTUALLY DO LAT SPREAD :D and that way delt says: > huh? you did pecs? fuck mate i never noticed i was sleeping it is completely soft :D
>>77582598You get to sit down between setsPractically no warmup necessaryUpper body exercise = male-focusedUbiquitous test of strength (bench 3pl8s regularly as a non-fatty and you won't stop getting compliments)Accessible equipment in every gym
>>77582660I never got the obsession with this sculpture, his love handles are too big and disrupting.
>>77583730>I never got the obsession with this sculpture, his love handles are too big and disrupting.i wonder what he would look like if he stood up straight
>>77583787it's kinda funny that they portray em with actual gyno :D as if the model was experiencing roid sides, and it's not just this sculpture (front and side - that's a tit atop of pec xD), it's quite prevalent - every single one in this one has itsy bitsy titties no, i do not believe the history books at all, i think it's quite possible that they had actual roids back then, just look at the fucking traps on this mofo :D ENORMOUS, like mine are big, they even get this step shape when i lift arm up from the front but come the fuck on, he looks like one of these miostatin deficient trenbolone bulls xD >>77582145>goota shift shoulders all the way backwards>why is she not revelling in contraction here? those are abbrevaited pulses, why not enjoy the contraction? cause she get's a shit contraction on very small muscles here, traps are just chilling it's something stupid small like levator scapulae that's worked with this movement, overworked, and damaged with too much weight>shift shoulders all the way backwards, i do it stepping on 1 m long powerbands (1 to 3, it depends), so rubber(s) are folded in half and i do it overhand and push me hips forward, and then i let shoulders drop behind and bring em back to neutral or so under that load>> like supermodel carries her shoulders on the catwalk>yes, i like that imagery, regular shrugs don't work cause scapulae are resting upon ribcage, and higher up it's not traps anymore, they aren't the bottleneck muscles, shoulders needoh i c u've expired the thread bot,, what happened?
>>77582598If you could bench 1798lbs then you would be pretty obsessed with bench wouldn't you?
>>77584221The world record is only 798 dipshit, that guy is probably twice your size can't even fit in a dang bench press plus you hate niggers.
>>77584200Le xd face
>>77582598I have stopped benching, it us a useless exercise and only hurts your progress. Wanna see? Try to bench like this:>pull your shoulders back and put tension on your front and mid delt part of your labrum>then you kerk with your whole body while leg driving >finally you might wanna do wide grip as a noob if your shit isn't ripped clean off and if it does it will be by the time you try to get any decent muscleBy now your shoulder is ground into a dust and the only muscle you gained are on simple exercises. Now you see why it is so hard for someome so smart as me to deal with retards who think lifting isn't all genetics and roids. By the way if you fuck up your shoulder you have to rest and not let it recover it will just stagnate.
>>77582598Ah fuck my bench is too high that I look ridiculous, the bodybuilders were right I should have stopped this shit a while ago.
