Hi,
I have a question to all you gym rats out there about bench pressing technique. I'll start by confessing that I don't take the bar down to my chest. I stop at about 3cm and then commence the push phase. Now, am I being a *****?
There is a reason for this, when i first started, I used to take it down to my chest, but I injured my shoulder twice and it is not as flexible anymore. It always gives me some problems when it comes to chest and shoulder work.
What are your thoughts on proper technique? And what are the growth/strength benefits you have experienced or seen? I'm not looking for range of motion type answers here guys...
Cheers,
AL
