Bitch Press

Because it's the best lift

>better rom
Then just lower the bar to your chest you dip

Who /ohp/ here? Feels good always btfoing benchshitters with the chad upper body lift.

He means you can push up without keeping your scapula retracted you dyel fuck

The chad ohp vs the virgin bench press

sounds like a cope to me

Lowering the bar to your chest is what causes shoulder impingment, I have a friend who had to undergo multiple shoulder surgeries directly related to benching that way

Reverse grip bench press is superior.

I fucking hate bench press, I wish I could just never do it ever again

Then don't

based

then just do more reps or add weight you fucking moron

I don't want to look like those cringe chestlets though

Barbell is for faggots and fatass "powerlifters".

Dumbbell press is superior in every way.

this.

Fitness magazines mostly.

h-how long has he been like that?

Note that bench press is actually a pretty good full-body lift, it's great for certain athletes that require projecting force through the upper body.

As always, chad chooses the difficult but rewarding exercises while the beta male does "what he can"
Thats why chad does ohp, brad is good at bench and the beta chestlet just does pushups, just like in the rest of his life, he doesnt want to take too much risk, and is content with the little reward this means, the same goes for dating and economics

the press was removed from the triathlon

>dumbells press is better

Drop bench, it's a shit tier lift and a waste of time. Do dips and crossovers like a nonretard.

if you benched you would know your chest has very little development

post chest

sick natty traps btw
work out shoulders more and you'll look insane

post dick retard

thanks bud, I'll be getting back to it soon, zyzz bless u

you got some $$ for me faggot?

this
dumbbell press all the way down with arms angled at 45 degrees. Far easier on the rotator cuffs too.
yep, the OHP is the king of upper body exercises and probably the best test of upper body strength (bench is too technical compared to it - e.g. you can't really use a super wide grip for OHP while it's possible for bench). And because it is the best test you don't see any women with good overhead presses, even the roided ones perform far below 2pl8 (meanwhile there's women on this planet benching 3pl8)

Ez. The most attractive bodypart on a guy is his torso, and by doing benchpress you focus everybody else's attention to it. Thats how a girl imagine an attractive guy most of the time, facing her, standing straight with the chest puffed due to high self-confidence. Bench press is meant to symbolically represent the lifting in general.

>implying the most primal caveman thing you could do isn't to just lift her over your head

>the most primal caveman thing you can do is lift a conveniently placed weight
caveman press starts from the floor

>t. 110lbs DYELs coping with the fact that they're too beta to ask for a spot

Barbell becomes better for strength gains past the 50kg dumbell point.

Most of Jow Forums aren't past that point so dumbells with their superior range of motion, muscle recruitment, and adduction are superior for gains.

>caveman press
heh

If you need a spotter, you're too weak

Great let me spend $10+ when I need to increase weight by five pounds.

>if you lift weights that are close to your limit then you're too weak

t. sub 2 pl8 after 2 years.

I bench in the smith machine to ensure the bar always lowers forward enough to prevent shoulder impingement, and I don't give a fuck how retarded I look while doing it. Sure, I'm not working stabilizers, but I can load a lot of weight without having to worry about breaking form and fucking up my shoulders. I can then trail my progression by doing unassisted benching at 80 or 90% capacity where I don't have to worry about form breakdown. I recommend this approach to clients, as it's better than skipping bench entirely, and has none of the dangers of benching regularly. The bench press wasn't even a standard lift until recently, so there's no reason to treat is as sacrosanct. The only reason to not do it in a smith machine is fear of being made fun of.

OHP is what really matters.

What the fuck dude take that common sense and gtfo

old horse push

I'm a fuckint retard and even I can remember simple cues and I can max out on bench with the same form I have at 90%
I bench 120kg and 115 with a pause
You really shouldn't have clients

Post body

I don't find people have a hard time remembering cues. The problem is form breakdown is very common on the last rep, which is true of other lifts, but minor form breakdowns for other lifts are not particularly dangerous. Even a minor breakdown for the bench can fuck up your shoulder if its repeated, which happens later in training progressions with higher weights and where people are pushing themselves.

People would be lying if they said they never had a minor final rep form breakdown in their squat that wasn't necessarily significant enough to warrant a reset, but was still there. For the squat, or deadlift, an inch deviation here or there won't necessarily result in an injury, but it can with the bench over time.

>having a limit
how does it feel being so weak?

...I will say, all of this is moot if there's a good spotter, but people don't always lift with a GOOD spotter. If you're spotter doesn't know what he's doing, then go with the smith machine, or safety bars and bail out of the final rep if you feel you elbows flaring and the bar moving back before it moves up.

Good point, really made me think

DB Bench Press mogs Barbell Bench Press in every way

m8 my arm span is 202cm, 8cm longer than my height and I still enjoy benching
Stop complaining all the time and just lift the bar.
Also incline bench > normal bench, but you should do both

That's right goyms! Do more squats; nobody needs strong upper body

the more threads i see shitting on compound lifts as being meme exercises the more i realize that none of you really actually lift.

Is it okay for losing weight? There isn't a gym in my town and I don't have much equipment. I just don't want to be fat anymore.

Here is cake.

How long you been lifting?

Stupid boomers, can't do heavy benches with bad form.... Just fucking giveup grampas.

>no safety pins so if you fail hard you drop heavy weights on your face
DYEL? Dumbbell press is objectively safer than barbell press on failure

go run

Lmao, the absolute cope. The dude has an aesthetic chest.

Weighted dips, incline DB press, and cable flies and pull overs.

These are the real chest mass builders.

You're welcome.

Are you the same dude who replies to every thread with the same “hurr stupid boomers they’re old“ shit?
If so, consider killing yourself you prepubescent meme forcing dicklet autist

Kill yourself, you fucking used up boomer piece of fuck!

Nonono you got it all wrong you autistic, fat, basement dwelling piece of worthless garbage.
YOU should kill yourself instead of pretending being a few years younger is something to be proud of.
Go scream at your mommy for your tendies you fucking ugly ass weeabo fuck.
And I’m not even in my mid 20s and still think you should get the fuck off this board you acne ridden, fatherless wanker.

OHP, deadlift, and squat are really good though. Bench press is just objectively bad. Even Rip forgot it was in SS and he admitted he just tossed it in there because it was popular.

Yes you can build a good chest with just push-ups.

But you just don't get the raw strength and power that you also gain additionally with a bench press.

>Even Rip forgot it was in SS and he admitted he just tossed it in there because it was popular.
I wish people would admit that bench is mostly a vanity/accessory exercise like curls. Yes, it's a compound movement, but it has a short kinetic chain. It's not a fundamental lift. Just let people hit their chest however they feel like it. If you want to use dumbells, a machine, the smith rack, whatever you like. As long as you're doing OHP, press, squat, and DL, how you hit your chest doesn't really matter.

Because, one unassuming summer day, you're out working on your car in the garage and you slide out from under it for a quick breather.
But wait! You're right where the garage door meets the floor and the cables have suddenly failed!
Well, you can look up at that falling fucker and reach out to catch it, thinking to yourself: "I have long prepared for this day."

it was good until cyberstalkers and frauds

>still pushing horses
>not pushing superior bison, gaur, or even hippos or rhinos
Have fun "pushing" your lightweight Arabians and Mustangs, user. I hope you're at least on draught horses or else I guarantee you're getting laughed at by Brad and the second-tier cardio bunnies that hover around him.

overhead press lurk moar

lmao, and people on this board constantly make fun of anyone benching sub 3.5pl8. im starting to think that those are the same people in this thread

If I'm trying to increase my bench, how often should I be doing BP? How often should I be maxing out & increasing weight?

Natty as fuck

Every other workout. Rotate between OHP and Bench each workout. At the beginning, you should be able to add 5 lbs each workout. When that gets too hard, add 2.5 lbs each workout instead. You should be hitting a new max each workout. That will last for a few months, then you may have to switch to a different program.

if you want a big BP and are new, do greyskull

enjoy your lack of chest then you dyel peasant faggots

how the fuck did you get traps like that?

The Press™ is the king.
