Are bench presses overrated? Dumbell Bench Presses accomplish the same thing imo.Originally Posted by Forkit
Thoughts?
It affects your chest differently as barbell compared to dumbbells.
Bench affect the entire chest compared to dumbs affecting the outerpart of your chest.
Even Dumb shoulder presses feel different from barbell millitary presses.
If you have the cajones, do fear factor benches. Which is to load the bar heavy to where you can do 4 reps and bench without spotters. When you are at the sticking point, your adrenaline kicks in and you can do 1 or 2 more rep. I finish with 1 half rep.
Your chest will burn for days after doing one exercise.

Dont knock it until you tried it.
When it gets heavy and you push for all its worth, you can really feel your chest work I tell you.
Somemore doing flat bench on smiths aint as good as on a universal bar even if I use more weights on a smith.
