Should we have a Bench Chart?

[AnThHh]

Its where you go around building benches for the local community.

:yelrotflmao: haha thats a good one

But yeah i think we should get a bench chart going!

 

[realworksuks]

Whats makes the Bench any better than a military press ?

It's just kind of a fact, 3 core lifts, bench, squat, deadlift. Isn't that right?

That's how I think of it at least.

 

[Streamline]

I don't see why not...While we're on it though, i do believe that someone tried to start a bench press chart but didn't have much success with it.

 

[Karky]

bench isn't better than military press. but it does make more sence to have a bench chart than military press chart since bench press is one of the 3 lifts in a PL comp.

 

[Big_Idiot]

Yea your right Kark....so who the f*ck's gonnna create this sh!t...

 

[Karky]

well you need to get the mods attention, since they can top it and whatnot.

 

[Typhon]

I don't really care because my bench sucks too but I'm just wondering how many people on here are gonna try testing their 1RM with really crappy form and ending up with shoulder problems

 

[Karky]

the same could be said for deadlifts and squats. If you have bad form, you should get it corrected. If you don't know that you have bad form, you're screwed.

 

[Big_Idiot]

True True, Karky lad has a point.

 

[Typhon]

Yeah, of course that's a very good point, I'm just one of those people who get pissed off with the 'so.....how much do you bench?' crowd. I have a feeling they'll get drawn to the thread like flys round ****

I think we should have a tricep pulldown thread though, I'm pretty good at those!

 

[Karky]

How many times do I have to tell you, CCR, it's TRICEPTZ not triceps!!

 

[Big_Idiot]

Yea im good at those aswell, but once youve done the whole rack (which im sure many have) theres no point.

We should have a Curling in the squat rack thread, because as we all know, you can curl way more if you do it in the squat rack area.

I guess you didnt see it.

[theGOOCH]

How about an adductor machine chart?

 

[tonymcclellan]

Absolutely. How come we are crying about a bench chart when we should have that plus a calf raise chart, curl chart, and lateral raise chart.

 

[theGOOCH]

Im might try to scrounge up someone to spot for me and max out on bench tomorrow

It's not a fact.
Bench is no better than MP.

bench isn't better than military press. but it does make more sence to have a bench chart than military press chart since bench press is one of the 3 lifts in a PL comp.

And bench is one of the tests in football camps.

 

[powerhouse283]

whenever someone asks me how much I bench, my reply is asking them how much they dead.
it would actually be cooler to have a push press chart, as that's a way more "functional" way of pressing and is way cooler... but I don't think a lot of people here do push press

i push pressed 205 today. coulda got more thoguh

It is too a fact, if the bench press and the MP got into a fight, we all know that the bench press would kick the military press's ass!
