Or chest in general.
I dont want to do bench press because of a prevoiusly torn rotator cuff.
i know what you mean man. i have a tear in my rotator cuff and it hurts like hell if i do alot of bench presses. for some reason, lying dumbell presses dont hurt it though, as long as you dont use really heavy weight bc then you take the risk of dropping the weights down to your sides and torquing that shoulder the wrong way. butterflys work outter pecs. decline bench works lower, and incline bench works upper.
A friend of mine can bench press 535 pounds and he claims he doesn’t use steroids. Meanwhile I am still struggling to reach 300. Is it normal for someone who doesn’t use steroids to be able to bench press 535? Or do you think he’s lying about using steroids? I’ve been lifting weights for over a year, and I’m still not quite to 300. I don’t go to a gym, so I don’t see how much other people are benching. But 535 seems like a lot to me.
I would be interested to know if you’ve seen him do it or he’s just told you he can. I’d also like to know if he’s doing that unassisted or if someone’s helping him the whole way.
I’m not saying he can’t but as far as what people lift I only believe it when I see it.
It’s possible to lift those numbers and more but we’re talking about powerlifters here. The average guy will never hit that kind of weight without some sort of chemical help.
I used to hit numbers like that but after a layoff I’m getting up to about 440.
So no, it’s not common.

Retraction allows you to work the most muscle fibers in the chest. If you cannot retract your shoulder blades due to bad posture, you must strengthen the muscles that do so.
This means you need to perform rowing exercises with proper form and stretch your chest and anterior deltoids if you have forward shoulder posture.
Lower the weight all the way to your chest and pause.
If you can’t lower the weight all the way to your chest, you do not have to. Just make sure you are not being lazy.
When you lower the weight all the way to your chest, your pecs are actually not working as much, but it’s okay, because you will more than likely be doing more chest exercises which isolate the pecs.
The sticky point is the point in which you know the lift will be completed. Hold your breath until then.
If you exhale before you pass the sticky point, you will lose all intra-abdominal pressure, lose the optimal bench press form and not get the full benefits of the bench press.

I let the bar fall on my upper chest on inclined bench press and since I had no spotter it laid on my upper chest for a few seconds before someone came to help me. I don’t think I injured myself. How would I know if I injured myself and what could have happened.
PS: Please don’t lecture me about using a spotter, I always use them but the weigths were so light I could do 15 reps with them, I just screwed up since I’m not used to inclined down bench press.
You can crush your sternum which would result in death. The sternum is in place to protect the organs behind it. That is why the sensible and logical solution would be what us man loving feminists do when we pump weight……….use a spotter.

Does age, height, weight, etc have much to do with it? When I was 18, 5′4" and 110 lbs, I could bench press 90-100 lbs, max bench. I want to get back to my max bench and wanted advice, i don’t want bulk, i want toned muscles. Please can someone help me with this? What would be the best way to go about getting back up to my max bench.. I am 21, and weigh 130lbs. and I have little time bc I have a two year old daughter. Any extra info on workouts for busy moms/getting rid of the excess baby fat would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
If you don’t want bulk, then why are you worried about how much you can Bench Press?
Stick with lighter weights and higher repetitions, and you’ll continue to see the tone muscles you are looking for.
Women don’t have the Testosterone levels that men have, so building large muscles is much harder to do.
