I’ve BEEN BENCHING SINCE THE 8th GRADE!! I KNOW WHAT’S COMFORTABLE FOR ME!!!
“Comfortable for you” doesn’t equal correct form. IMO you should have tried it the trainer’s way, seen how that worked, and THEN decided what’s better. Or do you just know Everything, while everyone else knows shit?
While you are correct that comfortable doesn’t necessarily mean right, he’s pretty much correct here. ACE certified “trainers” are just a bit higher than troglodytes on the evolutionary scale, and way below intelligent lifters. Having your feet on the bench is a HUGE mistake for power generation. Just huge. We just had an article on here not too long ago that explained a number of mistakes, and that topped the list. Besides, 330 @205 is pretty respectable. It means you’ve had to work at getting it unless you’re a genetic freak. Except for the cocked wrists (which are probably an inadvertent mistake), I’d warmup the same way. It’s only 135 for crying out loud. And I’d have a huge arch in my back doing it.

I should find that article, print it out, and give it to her. Be like, HERE, this is what the real world does, and what the experts have to say. Take your ACE way and stuff it up your fat ass! And yes, thank you, I have worked at it, very much so. My goal is 405 next year at a body weight of about 215. But my chest and arms have always been my strongest point.

While I understand why you are angry I don’t understand “wanting to smack a bitch”. Get some anger management. I am not trying to be a jerk btw… I am being serious, these are not exactly healthy things to be thinking.
mmm, i disagree. I think it’s used as hyperbole a lto these days. Whne I say i want to kill someone, I wouldnt ACTUALLY kill them, even if I could get away with it. (well, nto most of the time, so I’d like to think)
the fact that this had to be explained is astounding
also everyone knows that if u cock ur wrists practically anyone can bench 300lbs… just drop the weight killer… stop feeding ur ego
I’ve always had bad wrists, and they don"t cock that much…I don’t see the advantage it gives you?? When I’m 205 benching 330, I think my wrists would cock a little. And plus, when I lift heavy I use Wrist Wraps to keep my wrists straight.

LOL, I do, in fact I’m a pretty sarcastic person. It was late, just gotten back from work and class, and didn’t detect it. So I’m a squishy face Retart, but I admit it.
Dude, life’s way too short to get pissed at crap like this. Just smile, say something like “Thanks. It’s obviously been working for you.” and walk away knowing she’s like most other PT’s out there.

If you want the qualification, then just suck that shit up, and shut up.
Be happy, knowing that when you get your ACE, they won’t have churned out another ‘exercise robot’, but someone who has a passion and drive.
Use that passion and drive to take you onwards and upwards. Don’t let it work on you in a negative way.

Good point Bushi. It’s stupid to get mad at stuff like this but shit happens. I just won’t have any respect for most of the stuff she says now, especially calling me out in the un-professional manner that she did.
Disclaimer: if your so fucking stupid you think im serious you should focus more on flipping burgers so your dumb ass doesn’t screw up someones McOrder.
