bench pressing

careful with the proten, when you stop if you don't keep on lifting just as much and if you don't watch what you eat you will get fat fast and fall out of shape just as fast... Trust me, I did protein in 8th grade and when I stopped I fell out of shape so fast it wasn't even funny.

well i dont know canada and its people are werd in many way........j/k

but its true bench press has limited gain...because your shoulders drop (for most people) when u press heavy......dumbell press i a lot more effective and is my primary chest exercise......i only do the bench press 1 or 2 every 2- 3 weeks just to mix stuff up and to be able to answer the question ----how much do u bench? (which is the primary reason y most guys do it)

of course saying what you max is fun... but i tried incline dumbells for kicks and i was putting up 75s like it was nothing and not getting much from it. i tried 90 lb dumbells but the weight was physically too big for me to keep stable so i only got 2 up before i had to drop em. i like barbells because its easier to push more weight and get a good workout but dumbells are very important too.

just cause u r pushing more weights does not mean u r getting a better workout..............
