To get back there again or close to it is the goal as i get into my late 40’s but we’ll see. That was with gear but really before they started the whole deadlift suit stuff. Plan is to get back in a bit of gear after the summer.

To the sternum, wheras multiply allows belly benching.
Ha ha ha playgirl.com…ur cracking me up…better than that bear stuff you were talking about though
This is my own experience on the shoulder stuff. When i first started (powerlifting) in late 70’s did a ton of other stuff besides benching, ie incline, dips, milt press, press behind head, tons of rows, pull-ups and front raise/lat raise type stuff. Shoulders were great during this time.
When i got fat, lazy and life took over and training got squeezed in and eventually was at a minimum for a while (about '94-2000) i just benched here and there and strength obviously declined quite a bit. 2000 ish started back, gear was in full swing (bench shirts) and i got back into benching mostly with gear and did very little raw work and hardly any of the variation of exercises that i used to do and with in a few years shoulders were killing me.
Then comes the raw movement and i realized i was weak as piss and my shoulders sucked. Looked back at my old training books (just this past year) and the light came on so to speak. Started slowly working all the aux work i used to do and now shoulders feel pretty dam good, raw bench is going up etc.
So i guess for me all the variation really was a key in my shoulder health. Also have noticed the same thing for deads/squat stuff.
