That would put him in very select company, less than twenty guys have benched 550 or more at 242 without a bench shirt.
Raw PR was 420x5 @270lbs. bodyweight.
First rep was a competition pause. The others were strict touch-and-go.
should long armed ppl bench to half or hit the chest?
if i go down all the way down to chest i get most of the lift from shoulder. adn no chest.
375 @ 245 raw and pushing 40 years.
340 @ 215
375 @ 220

If you don’t touch your chest, its not a bench press.
Long arms may not be the best levers for benching, but too many people use it as an excuse for a shitty bench.
You can’t shorten your arms, but you can improve your technique, get bigger and thicker which shortens ROM, and get stronger.
110kgs @ 74kgs
Can only do 3 reps though.

The April comp will be sanctioned by Northern Va. Raw and then hit some APA.

getting thick is my prob. the bench doesnt hit chest. so should i stop benching until my lagging parts catch up???
