being a little bitch and not lifting at all because you’re gay and afraid of injuring yourself. lifting with good form and do all three types of benching and you won’t hurt yourself

why are brainlets always the most vocal

imagine your 60 year-old self reading this

wow what a retort, my argument was completely debunked by calling me a brainlet

how about you post that body so I can see what someone who lifts smart looks like

flat bench cause ull usually try to lift heavy as in singles

>thank god I didn’t reach peak strength and aesthetics in my 20s so now my shoulders don’t hurt when I’m geriatric and infertile
>oh wait they hurt anyway

>why are brainlets always the most vocal
Brainlets are constantly on the verge of some sort of tantrum and need to vent off at every opportunity. The answer is incline, btw.

Just flat bench and have your depth so your elbows are parrallel/slightly break parrallel with your scapulae/the floor/the bench. This way you maintain constant pressure on pecs, you control the bar more and you don't bring your shoulders into the equation, if you're not a retarded powershitter going all the way down to the chest should put your shoulder joints in a position of uncomfortable stress, which is why it hurts, which is also pointless if you're trying to develop pecs for looks. Also, don't worry we have OHP to train shoulders for strength.

Next time you bench just try only lowering the bar to an inch above your chest.
>That's not a bench press
You don't say a squat that hits parrallel isn't a squat so let's apply the same logic to the other lifts.
I can still bench 2pl8 with a pause touching chest, it just hurts my shoulders when I do so, so I stick with an inch or so above chest, follow my advice op, your shoulders will thank you.

Pushups. Bench is a meme press.

My shoulders hurt doing decline and especially incline, I just stick to flat and incline dumbbell press

this makes sense, thanks
same question applies to push ups though, especially if you need to elevate your legs for more weight

post body right now, dyel

OHP, no matter how paradoxal it seems to be

Form is easiest to maintain on pushups. The arch that most bench pressers try to get in the lower back is natural in a pushup position instead of trying to artificially recreate on the bench. Also, you can get a weight vest. Ultimately, pushups and dips (weighted) will give you chest definition (and is safer) without the boob look that gays brought in to lifting in the '70s with bench.

No bench, the floor

It's so fucking easy

Depends on the person. Some people tolerate them all fine.

For me, I found neutral grip to be way, way better for my shoulders. Shoulder pain was stopping me on all hypertrophy range sets on bench.

I switched to dumbells neutral grip and realized how much pain had been holding me back.

I personally love weighted dips. I normally stick to 50% bodyweight for higher reps but will do 75% for lower reps. The neutral grip solves my issues. I know weighted dips do not work for everyone.

I would try a few and go from there.

The other problem is people do way to many push exercises to pull ones. I try to stay close to 1:1. You see routines with two types of bench, flies, and overhead presses, but only one row. Your weighted pull up should be higher than your bench for the same number of reps, and this is not true for most people.

Some people swear by face pulls. I find heavy seal rows get rear delta enough, but not ever gym has chest supported rows.

For linear progression with dumbells just try for more reps week to week, or do drop sets and improve on the combo of a heavy weighy and lighter one.

Tore my pec on flat bench a week ago. Fuck that shit

non of those are damaging to your shoulders unless you are a retard

Do I have to wear gay wristbands, gay flipflops, a gay headband, a gay sleeveless tshirt and suck penor to do this?

face pulls are corrective exerise, you dont do them to build muscle

Flat bench is the most dangerous because it can hurt your rotator cuffs if you have bad form

Yeah but only after you're done with your behind-the-back deadlifts.

Decline and facepulls for shoulder rehab.

Flat bench with no arch if you want your shoulders to sound like gravel

more like I’m gonna decline your faggot advice LMAO

Assuming you bench for a bigger chest, not a bigger bench, a slight incline is best. In any bench, a slight arch will keep your shoulders safe. Slight arch+slight incline=same activation as no arch flat bench but with safe shoulders

No, pushups aren't at all the same. On pushups, your scapulae are free to move as they need

Cry more you fucking baby

Flat goes pop pop pop pop
Incline goes crackSNAP
Decline goes grindgrind

Decline is by far the least uncomfortable.

Include me is the hardest to get any pec activation. No matter how much I arch and squeeze shoulder blades, I can't feel my pecs in the movement for some reason only a lot of burn in the front delts

>What's the least damaging to your shoulders?
Having the movility to do them without hurting yourself+proper form.
Work on you movility op, is not hard.

My shoulders hurt on all three, but not on ohp, weighted dips and pushups. I think its because scapulae moving freely, like other anons have said, what do? I feel like its not enough for chest
