When I bench I kiss both biceps on my way up. It may decrease maximum strength, but the gains in mad pimpiness makes up for it.

Ha yeah bra. I did that for a while, back in 2007 during my training. Lowered my max from about 405 then to around 365, but my dick grew 1-2" from it.

I think it was around early 2008 it got too big so I went back to reg. benching.

Bench press form is dependent upon the person and what they are wanting to use the bench press exercise for. Personally I see bench press as a dick measuring contest between guys. You never hear "how many pullups can you do" or anything like that, it's always a quick breach of etiquette and straight to, "so bro, how much do you bench?".

When I train for grappling I will do full motion bench press with low weight to increase flexibility. When training for boxing I focus on speed and power and will stop about 3 inches before I touch my chest and work on heavy weight and fast movements.

If you are just lifting to lift, then it won't really matter, but you increase the risk for cists when you go all the way down to your chest with heavy weight.

You doubled the size of your dick, but that's still pretty tiny.

My bench is pretty bad, currently doing 3x10 with 50lb dumbbells. I bring the dumbbells down to the point where they are just slightly below my chest.

hi any experts in here, does if anyone is a little bit big, are there not effective to do benchpress more? cause it can make your body not balance right? too big in chest area? cause for the person whose "basic" is big is usually as that?

Even if you have a big chest does not mean you have a strong one. Bench is good for toning it and making it more muscular. Also it helps you in pissing contests with douchebags.
