WHEN DOING BENCHPRESS
-
U GUYS DO THE WEIGHTS FULLY UNTIL REACH THE CHEST OR ONLY HALFWAY
-
fully LOR

Not such thing as arms parallel to ground crap,try to go lower than that for fuller ROM.Originally posted by forum_dude:U GUYS DO THE WEIGHTS FULLY UNTIL REACH THE CHEST OR ONLY HALFWAY
By the way,bench press is overrated as a chest exercise,try dips instead.. -
Partial bench presses lor.Or you can put a stack board there and call it board press.
-
Just a note:just because you can do bench presses with your bodyweight doesnt mean you do unweighted dips (i.e with bodyweight only)
Dips is an exercise which is a lot more demanding...
Don't believe,try it out... -
dips is good, but it depend on ur form...
i think dips is more to the tricep rather than chest.
presses motion is still the best for chest.
no one would ask how much u dip...
but ppl will only ask how much u bench...
of course must do full repition.
to get the best result.. do it the proper form.
last time...i saw this guy benching 100kg half range motion
and the other guy benching 60kg full motion in proper form...
the other guy chest looks much nicer than the first guy
the first guy looks like he doesn't even has a chest at all..
this is problem now i saw in the gym...
ppl are doing so heavy but only go down halfway and form is like...
again... i have to say it's the quality, not the quantity.
dun let ego take over u.... -

Bench press is just an ego exercise... -
I DUN SEE WHTS WRONG WIF BENCHPRESS AS AN EXERCISE TO PUMP YOUR CHESTOriginally posted by Marco_Simone:Mike Menzter said the dip is the upper body squat.

DIPS MAY BE GOOD BUT I THINK THERE R DIFF FORM OF DIPS AND SOME PPL MIGHT NOT KNOW THE EXACT WAY TO EXECUTE THE PROPER MOVES AND INSTEAD OF PUMPING THE CHEST, HE MIGHT PUMP OTHER PARTS -
Dips is a compound chest movement,period. It involves the whole pec area,the front delts and tris.Auxiliary muscles worked include the other 2 heads of the delts and the upper back(traps,lats etc)Originally posted by forum_dude:I DUN SEE WHTS WRONG WIF BENCHPRESS AS AN EXERCISE TO PUMP YOUR CHEST

Well,when I mean dips,I mean the kind when your two hands are on two parallel bars and your legs are dangling in the air.
Not the kind of dips when you can rest your heels on the floor/bench.
You go try dips and see how many you can do...There is this case of a 250lb BB who bench press 400lb but struggled to do dips when he first tried it for the first time...Generally the harder the exercise,the better it is. Exercises which make your torso move through space are the best. Read dips,pull ups, squats and deadlifts. In the bench press,only your arms are moving... -
for chest i always do dips follow by bench n then dumbells
dips i typically do 1st set till failure around 12-15, n 3 more sets with less reps till failure..
actually IMO dips r easier for me, i seen some ppl can bench more than me but dips cant do much. Dips for me is safer
