Not sure if being a smartass so the bcaas, creatine and beta alanine doesnt play an important factor?Caffeine is the only thing in a preworkout that works. Might as well drink grape kook aide if you're gonna go decaf

Thank youuuuu. It's hilarious how a lot of people don't realize this. If you remove caffeine...preworkout is useless. That's why I laugh when people try to argue that this preworkout sucks, this one is better. Etc.Caffeine is the only thing in a preworkout that works.

nope
I touch chest with my long a** small frame arms. Only reason I would see not touching chest is from a past traumatic shoulder injury
That and if you want to keep you shoulders healthy.
The longer your arms are, the lower your elbows have to go beyond parallel to reach the end of the concentric ROM. As your elbows break parallel, your shoulders rotate anteriorly and the load shifts from your pecs to your shoulder capsule and complex. Awful for you RC, labrum, ligaments, etc. That's assuming you're not a dude with long arms and a barrel chest. Everyone is different. But if you're long and slim, bench press should definitely be modified, unless you're a powerlifter who HAS to touch down. But how often do you see Dwight Howard looking mf'ers powerlifting?
One of the problems is people watch bench press demonstrations and don't realize it's usually the powerlifting variation AND they don't apply it to their own anatomy.
Why don't u put a scoop of whey into your smoothie/juice concoction, that's what I do. That's a lot of protein bruhAnyone here juice?
I been juicing for about a year but I been slacking for the past couple weeks. Haven't had the time in the mornings to get everything prepped. I def need to get back up on it. Makes you feel cleaner/healthier overall. And if you juice right, you won't need to eat as much so you'll be lowering your calories. I usually do kale, ginger, lime and coconut water. I have a Nutribullet RX so I throw it all in there and drink about 16oz 1-2x a day. It makes ya pipe hard too. Only downside is after you juice, all the fiber and ting makes you full so you don't really have an appetite for a protein shake. Trying to figure out a way to combat this. I need 300grams of protein.
You're juicing and taking in that much protein? Be careful when you're doing your working sets of squats or bench press....god forbid you let out a silent one and we have a Trinoble incident on our hands.Anyone here juice?

There's so much bro science out there regarding the bench press that fails to take into consideration individual anatomy and joint biomechanics. The popping in your shoulder, is it your AC joint? High volume bench press sessions can take a toll on the AC joint if you're really going deep and have the build that you and I do. Dips and decline won't do any favors either. I was guilty of all this for the longest and now my left shoulder cracks painlessly now and then.This is such good info my man.
I watched a vid by Omar Isuf (sp?) about benching. And he gave a tip that inbetween every rep rotate your shoulders and poke your chest out. Being lankey at 6 foot and 180lbs i have a horrible bench. When i touch my chest i need an ok arch and if i push my chest up and rotate my shoulders every rep it allows me to stay tight and save my shoulders a lot more then i was. I always had shoulder popping issues. And still due...especially when im fatigued in a set and can't stay tight. But learning what i can and can't do has been a big help.
Same thing with squat. Finding Lane Norton and seeing if you are tall you can have some forward lean as long as your spine is neutral really helped me out.
Do you have a barrel chest? Some people have long arms but can still touch down because of the shape of their rib cage.Interesting discussion on benching... I'm 6'4 long limbs and always touch, just feels right and like I'm not half repping. Shrugs. Bout to hit some chest in a little while too. Maybe if I'm not pushing big boy weight it's not a problem for my shoulders.

Check out "the stick" for self-myofascial release for cranky elbows
I stopped flat benching ever since it started giving me my left elbow pain and right shoulder pain.
im only 5'7 btw lol. either way, I prefer the incline on my push days. only time I do flat is if I do close grip.
did the same minus the dl''sDid some back today. Tried out Jefferson Deadlifts and Snatch Grip Deadlift. BB rows, seated rows, lat pulldowns.
