Ok, here's the deal. I'm wondering how many of you suffer from the same problem (an extremely weak lift compared to others). At a bodyweight of 190, i can full squat with a belt, and dead with a belt and straps, 405 x8-10, and 545 x3 respectively. my bench on the other hand looks like something my grandma could put up. i have no idea what it is now, 'cause i've essentially given up on the damn lift (after putting in more than a fair amount of time working on it). the best i ever put up was 280 at a bodyweight of 220 (at that time i put up 275 for 4-5 close grip). seeing i'm at 190 now, i have no idea what i could do. i do dumbbell bench after the hammer strength inc press and i can put up 120's for about 6-8. do you guys think my benching problems are form related, or just that i'm fucking weak in my chest? i have no desire to get into powerlifting, although i do lift for strength. verily, i have no problem skipping flat benching altogether; nevertheless, i am still left wondering how many others suffer from this. later.
