I was 15 when I started to bench press. I had been doning pushups for a few years, and was supprised that the bench press was hitting my shoulders and triceps much harder than my chest. It took years for me to get my bench presses to hit my chest, but when I did, it was great. Read a good post about benching, as it;s been said too much for me to repeat here. ts all about a healthy arch ion your spine and pumpig you ribcage and using the scapula muscles to allow the pecs to open properly...
I've gotten up to 325 (with my predisposed long arms and small ribcage giving me a tough time) but an injury doing flyes has put me back and now I have to use the heavy Incline Press as my main exercise, and I can only flat bench for high reps.
