Originally posted by billeau2The bench press was at least partially a victim of its own success. back in the eighties, guys would walk around looking like rooster codburn, big big chests and pencil legs! This was not the fault of the bench press so much as people wanting to look big chested.
Benching can be used doing explosive movements, or more static movements depending on whether we want fast, or slow twitch conditioning. I think it works great if not overemphasized.
But the greatest indicator of strength is dead lift.billeau2 likes this.

If true you are an exceptionally strong dude.
My first training partner was 5’5” 155lbs and could bench 315lbs as a teen. He was built for it. Chest and shoulders. I was arms and legs. He had small hands but if there was a pickle jar nobody else could open he could do it.

Deontay Wilder has one of the highest bench presses in boxing 365 lb and he hits the hardest other boxers in the past Rahman benching (500 lb) showed the same , but for some reason current trainers act like it does not help at all why is this ?
