Re: Touching the bar when you Bench
I have been working on bringing the bar all the way down. I used to go about 2 or 3 inches away but have been going lower to try and recruit more muscle fibers. Recently been throwing in guiletines, where you bring the bar down to the base of the neck too. Very tough, had to cutthe weight in almost 1/2. You also pretty much end up with a pause at the bottom because you need to go slow. -

Re: Touching the bar when you Bench
always just let hit hit right on my mid-chest.if i'm going really heavy i may have to stop about an inch away due to my shoulder giving out but i'm working on that now.i love the guys who bench and use their chests like trampolines,lol...!"Who me?

Re: Touching the bar when you Bench
I know a guy that does this. Benches a ton of weight for his size but bounces it like crazy! He actually won a local bench press comp doing this! I was like, man, if they made them pause like they are supposed to, there is no way he could bench that muchOriginally posted by rocco-x View Post"He woke up because I kept punching him in the face." --Thiago Alves

Re: Touching the bar when you Bench
I stopped barbell benches a few years ago and have gone with dumbbells only. Dumbbells are far more forgiving than a bar. I try to bring them past my chest to really get that prestretch.Comment
