I thought of this while at the gym earlier:
“Bench pressing only halfway down is like going down on a girl, but only swirling your tongue around her belly button.”
Unless you’re doing board presses, in which case it’s like you’ve got wood.
So what you’re saying is full ROM bench pressing is, like, for pussies?

I’m going to disagree with that. Limiting your ROM can help save your shoulder joints, and in the long run that’s way more important. You can also continue to get great work in on your chest and front delts if you stop at 90 degrees or just below.
I’m just not a fan of the flat bench in general though, so to each his own.
Yeah, what does it mean if I don’t bench at all?

I’m terribly sorry but I do need to ask… have you considered that you might be gay?
My apologies if you are instead a double amputee or otherwise incapacitated.

I like that…particularly the disclaimer about the possibility of horrible deformities.
Stop acting like a bunch of pussies.
Use dumbells, and use full range of movement.
Hallowed, make me a sammich.

I totally agree with you. Problem is 90% of gym goers do half ROM because their ego dictates they lift more weight thus the ROM goes to shit.

I didn’t say I didn’t use DBs, incline, close-grip, or decline.
However I would like to say that going down on your girl > conventional bench press.
There is no comparison.
So it is IMPOSSIBLE for some of you to just go to the gym and do your own fucking workouts without constantly judging the shit everyone else is doing?
I never understand these threads. Go in, do work, leave. Why analyze and then post on the internets about what some other guy is doing. Shit don’t affect you.
