Mythical
Exercise that are very destructive for the shoulder include the bench press, incline bench press, Pectoralis Flies, behind the neck military press, and behind the neck Lat pull down. There exits a shoulder injury only observed in people who Bench Press and Incline Bench Press, termed Osteolysis of the Acromioclavicular joint, in which the cartilage disc interface between the ends of the bone on the Acromion process and Clavicle where they articulate gets pulverized over time by the movement inherent in the Bench Press exercise, and over time the ends of the Acromion Process and Clavicle also undergo advanced arthritic degeneration, a result of the increased movement and forces placed upon the joint during these exercises. The excessive bony proliferation of the AC joint often results in a rotator cuff impingement syndrome. Furthermore, horizontal extension of the shoulder beyond the imaginary perpendicular line extending from the glenohumeral joint (bringing your shoulder and arms back deep) during the bench press and in particular the Pectoralis Fly exercises tightens the Biceps tendon, which attaches to the rim of the Glenoid Process close to the attachment of the Glenoid Labrum and can tear the Labrum off the rim of the shoulder socket. In addition, the anterior translation of the humeral head within the glenoid socket, can stretch and further damage the anterior capsule of the shoulder. Once torn or shredded there is no healing of this lesion, and recurrent subluxations of the humeral head within and out of the glenoid socket can occur. Glenoid Labrum tears result in altered joint kinesiology and biomechanics, and over time damage to the humeral head can manifest in the form of a Hill-Sachs Impaction Deformity, where a flat spot develops on the posterior humeral head resulting from the trauma associated with the subluxations/dislocations and contact with the socket or rim thereof. Bankart Lesions (avulsions or fractures of the anterioinferior rim of the Glenoid) can also result from these exercises.

pausing literally has no benefit in terms of -overcoming inertia- as this guy says. its a mental game if the weight is sitting on your chest, not a physical game. it is more difficult to change the direction of a weight if it is moving in a certain direction, ie a barbell going down into going up. you have to overcome the momentum and force of the weight with an equal force to get it to stop, then use a greater force to get it to go up. this would be maximized if the weight was dropped and you were to push up right as it touches your chest, but obviously this would end in injury and be basically impossible to do

Training my triceps was the fastest way I've improved my bench press. Partly because I never really trained them, other than dips which was like 4-8 sets a week. Anyways, my bench press was taking forever to go up. And doing isolation work for my triceps has meant I'm seeing somewhat newbie gains to my bench press. It's currently at 108KG now which i'm happy with. Before training triceps, it was taking FOREVER to go up. Hope these newbie gains for triceps means my bench press keeps going up nicely.

I do enjoy the wonderful tips that are provided. It-s a little confusing that at times the trainer will say don-t ever do this exercise this way or that way again to prevent injury to certain body parts/ muscles. I do look at others videos that the trainer post and he-s doing the exercise that he just spoke about not doing - I-m not speaking badly about the trainer he-s full of knowledge and is in excellent condition. I just need a little more clarification.

I have a better method guys to improve your bench 100%.
Find a squat rack and throw a bench in the middle. Adjust bars on side and throw a bench bar across it.
Lay on bench, bar should be as close to chest as possible (1-6 inches. Now your pushing from a compromised position. I sometimes do light weight and sometimes heavy weight. You will get a stronger bench 1000%. Old school tip

I am not a super experienced lifter by any means, but to when the big guy is lifting it doesn-t look like he gets his arms all the way up or his chest fully contracted. Is the way he-s doing it really proper form? I-d really like some advice on this because I-m currently working on my lifts and want to be doing them as correctly as possible.

Little help Jeff.
I'm 59 and got back to the pile a couple months ago after 2 years off thanks to total knee replacement and tore my left lower triceps 60% but finally healed. But no longer there.
Anyway I'm stuck and can't seem to get beyond 240 bench. Any ideas diet maybe? Thnx

I guess if you're a legit athlete or powerlifter raising your benchpress makes sense. But, if all I want to do is look better why should anyone give a crap about lifting more. If I could get results with 10 lb dumbbells I'd be all about it, so much easier on my joints.

I do floor presses both dumbbells and barbell or in my case I use arm curl as a str8 bar lol, simply because I don't have a bench press at home - but hey it works strength wise, just be consistent at it and you will see a great results at the end.

I thought the full range of motion on a bench, doing the dumbbell press, is what allowed the muscle fibers to tear and regrow? By doing it on the floor, it feels like you're doing half the motion and not working the chest at all.
