My aunt got their house custom-built for tall people. It's amazing in a way you'll never understand if you haven't experienced it. Imagine not getting a sore back over the sink.

Anyone else have a poverty bench? 200lbs at 6'4 with long arms and can only bench 1.5pl8 but squat 3pl8s with more time spent on bench than squat. Usually use slightly less than shoulder width, found wide grip hard on shoulders

Same height, 240lbs, 135lb bench 5x5...lol. I'm one weak fuck.
It's rough man. How's your ohp? I ohp 135 for one and bench the same for 10 I feel like that's out of proportion
Juan Thompson

I can't OHP at the moment. I used to do 90lbs for 5x5 back when I lifted in a garage. Now I lift in a tiny bedroom Blaha style but the ceiling's too low and I'm too tall. It's hell. I might buy a cambered bar just for OHPing because I do miss the lift.
You’re fatter than you think or have a shit technique. I’m 6’6, 205 and put up 305 for one and 225 for 13 reps at the end of a cut. I bench with a narrow grip.

But if you lockout while incline benching, doesn't that just decrease the time your chest is under tension?
Gavin Kelly
Tbh I don’t ever incline bench with the bar. I only use dumbbells at a 30 degree incline and there is no lockout, incline barbel bench feels more like a front felt excercisr for me. It sounded like you meant not going to your chest.
