    Ego boost should be heavy squats, bench isn't a good measure of overall strength which I know..

    Some people are good and some not so much, doesn't mean one is "stronger"

    Just trained that specific muscle to move X amount of weight from point A to Point B , sometimes in a set time frame
    I'm training for size, strength is just a by product lol

    I can't do heavy squats, my knees r fvcked! I can go to town on straight leg deads tho! But like lunk, I'm chasing the illustrious 405! Kinda lol I'll admit tho, I cheat on bench. I don't touch my chest...my arms go past parallel to the ground but my arms r damn long lol

    If your going for size just keep with wats comfortable , if it bothers you that you can't touch chest let me know I got a good few pointers you could try that got me over the same thing. Unless its just a choice then keep at it big guy! Stopping heavy weight before touching isnt easy either

    I've put my hands out wide, arched the back, all that jazz. My shoulder blades just touch when I get down that far. But it doesn't bother me. I just do flat bench for shits and giggles mostly lol
