Is this exercise a waste of time for chest? Seriously I feel like I am working my chest much more doing dips and cable flys. On bench press I just feel like I am burning out my arms and front delts.
Am I doing it really fucking wrong? Is my hand position wrong? Usually I have my pinky on the ring. I am 6ft
>>37753772
Yes
>>37753772
If you feel it in your front delts you're fudging it up
Retract your shoulders
I know it works front delts but I bench PL style and never FEEL it there, only ever chest.
I get sick chest pump so it's my only chest lift currently
use dumbbells instead and make sure you're retracting your scapula like you're trying to squeeze a grape in between your back and pull your shoulders down
>>37753772
Shoulder length grip, feel it in my chest all the time
>thinking you do bench press for chest
Look mom a beginner DYEL scrublord.
>>37753814
Why not just completely replace it with OHP instead?
>>37753827
This, Havn't bench press in 1 month, been doing OHP in it's place, pretty sure once i start benching again I will be benching way higher than when i soloey focused on it
>>37753772
I've done nothing by flat bb bench for chest with good results. Don't know why, it just works for me. Lifting 1.5 years so it's not like it's just noob gains.
>dips
I've only ever seen one guy at my gym actually do dips. This guy comes in at the exact same time every morning, already in his "workout gear" and runners (lmao). He will do a few normal exercises like squats and bench presses, but then at the end, WITHOUT FAIL, he will round it off with dips. It's become a running joke among me and the other regulars. "Hey man, keep at it, don't want a DIP in your progress", we'll say to him, or "what's up dude, yesterday I DIPPED my fries in ketchup". He has NO IDEA we're making fun of him, it's hilarious. We call him the little dipper behind his back.

If you bench correctly, bench press is the single most effective exercise for building a bigger chest, bar none.

If you don't squeeze your chest, it won't work your chest. You're better off doing Incline db press if you're too stupid to access your chest.

Retract your scalpa.
When you start the rep the barbell should be above your shoulders. When you bring it down you want it to just touch the bottom of your pecs. Then bring it back up to the starting point where it was Just level with the shoulders.
Lower the weights, get some shoulder db press in to help shoulders get used to more pressing.

Is it normal that bench press is the lowest weight in my set for a newbie lifter? This is my third day of my routine, and while my squats and DLs weren't bad, I haven't broken 100lbs on my bench. Is this normal, or perhaps a form issue?

Not answers. Is it normal for bench to be the weakest?
>>37763937
No. Your bench should be strongest, followed by squats then DL.
>>37763937
No, you should be benching slightly more than your squat and at least 1.5x your deadlift.

Don't listen to the broscience. It honestly doesn't matter whats the strongest or most weak. When you're still new there's no telling.
When I started lifting I could squat a plate but couldn't bench the bar.

yes, you're doing it wrong.
your forearms should be vertical at the bottom.
likely, with you having you're pinky on the ring, your forearms aren't. what this does is turn the bench press into more of a triceps exercise, which explains why you aren't feeling it in your chest.

Its quite impossible to retract scapula on dumbell press. Terrible idea to try and maneuver your shoulderblades while holding giant fucking weights in your hands. And impossible to get the weight up to your shoulders with your scapula beforehand.

Alternate pushing and squeezing for best chest pump. Superset bench and db flyes, for example.
