nice job pressing machine

thanks, but as im nearing my first powerlifting competition, im concerned about not being that good on the bench.

i know that its a good workout, but i just feel i should be advancing so much further.

its like on dec 12 or 14th. i dont know i used to think my weakness was my chest/shoulder/lats becuase i always got stuck somewhere between my chest and mid way up. but no my 4 board press is only about 40lbs more than my full rom bench press.......... so i guess......... even though i never though i would say this, my triceps are my weak point............... i never thought that would be the problem.

im so confused.

most likely your lats are create an unstable base to lift off cause I know you have the tri strength

nice man...how'd ya like the behind neck zott presses?

dont see how, the lats arent that big at the top of the lift. a 4 board press on me gives me about a 4-5 inch rom, thats pretty much 100% tricep. so i dont see it as lats being the problem.

i mean think about it, i can bench 315+ full rom with a pause. but i can only 4 board 365, a whopping 50lbs more!?!?!?!? you would think that if my tri's are so strong i would be able to press a lot more than just 50 lbs for 8 inches less rom.........

......... you know???
