#105 07-01-2008 02:11 PMgymbunnyGuestHave you experimented with different width grips? The link Richard posted is good for tips. Unfortunately I think some people just have problems with bench. QuoteOriginally Posted by CoN
Do you have a spotter? I find I can lift more if I do, simply from a not being terrified I'm going to drop the bar on my neck kinda way -

May be the switch to DB will help bump you out of the plateau.
My bro suffers from gibbon syndrome (really long arms) so he has a terrible time with bench, he switched to DB and is now doing the 55kg DB (irritating as hell but he has been training nearly 10 years now) but now his standard bench is a lot stronger too. -

anyone know roughly a good weight to be pressing each hand?
in respect to my already crap bench? i havent a clue what to start with today, maybe just pick a weight, try a cpl presses, if its too heavy drop it down, if its too light i will increaseUse Coupon MP15287 For 5% Off Your 1st OrderDisclaimer: All posts on these forums are for information and discussion purposes only and solely the views of the forum member who posted.
