(Barbell) Bench Press hater reporting in!
Reason: I totally suck at this lift. Furthermore, the Overhead Press is the more global upper body push movement (in terms of recruiting more muscles). Additionally, I feel my Pecs better doing dumbbell bench presses or dips. Big disadvantage is that the Bench is essemtal for powerlifting.
>hates bench
>has to ask if it's good for size
You don't know the answer to that because your bench is shit. You hate it because you suck at it, and rather than work on it, you dismiss it entirely and label it shit like a fucking child.
>>35393052
Dips and an incline press are all you probably need. Bench strength is a meme.

wow dude, i just started lifting 3 months ago
you don't have to be such a cunt, i'm just looking for help and trying to relate with people
why are you so angry, anon. did she leave you again?
>>35393211
Ouch. Easy there anon...
> check'd
I hated it because I was bad at it but since getting the form down and getting to lmao1pl8 I'm actually starting to look forward to it.
Bench is great for size if you out up decent weight and have a volume day.
Try hitting 75% of your 1RM for a few sets of 8-10, in addition to whatever day you train for strength. You will see some size.

His point still is the same. You'd do well to stop being such an idiot.
>>35393262
Atleast he actually has muscle unlike you faggot. Go lift the bar skinny bitch

What really saved me was the "So you think you can bench press" series from EliteFTS.

why are you guys so mean? I'm just trying to chat about lifting
>>35393052
I hate it, because it's the hardest lift for me really. I have long arms and it's much more difficult for me to bench press. My shoulders are also pretty narrow, so the distance i have to cover is large. That's why I progress slowly. All my lifts are solid besides bench press, I'm thinking about buying fractional plates. My overhead press is 88 lbs, my bench press isn't even 1pl8 yet. My squat is almost 2pl8 and dealidft more than that. Fml. Any tips?
Also, I think there is a mental block I have about bench pressing, I don't do my maximum. We don't have power rack in the gym and I don't want to ask guys to spot this babyweight.

BTFO DESU SENPAI
>>35393415
How much?
>>35393456
work your way up to 100 a day, where it isnt even much of a workout anymore
it will open up your chest and you will get a little swole from pushups despite what mongs on this board say
>>35393503
cool, thanks. hope it helps with my bp
Occlusion with incline dumbell press is pretty fun. Helped fill out my chest (I thought I had gyno) and the pump gives me gnarly veins. Feels good breh
Got my bench press to just under 1pl8 for reps but took a semester long hiatus and lost 20lb on it. Thinking about switching to db inclines since zyzz claimed they were his favorite chest exercise and I have a pretty similar skelly physique as he did before he got big
>>35393052
>is the highest loaded, full ROM, upper body pressing movements good for building size
nah, do those 20lb flies you'll be fine
I love the bench but suffered a shoulder/rotater cuff injury during football training and now when I try and bench I get a clicking noise in my shoulder so I'm limited to doing light bench for reps or dumbell press.

>>35393052
Only weak people make up excuses not to bench
>>35393327
No one relates to not wanting to lift on /fit/
