Killed my squat but my pressing was good.<BR/><BR/>The key to a good bench is EXACTLY the keys to a good KB press.<BR/>Vertical forearms, pressing from the lat, keeping the shoulder in the socket, beng able to wedge into the ground and press from the legs.Bench is just more triceps for the lockout.Mark Reifkindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13796716749125262941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960097.post-22526172360609459742007-03-11T12:42:00.000-07:002007-03-11T12:42:00.000-07:00I hate you man..........LOL just kidding.I would h...I hate you man..........LOL just kidding.<BR/>I would have been in ecstacy with a 200Kg bench at 100Kg weight!!<BR/><BR/><BR/>I struggled and struggled to get my bench over bodyweight for a long time.
