Have you had a similar problem? How did you get around it? Is this the road out of gainzvile for bench? | ||

 Tom's CNS is better than steroids Member 2886, 2973 posts SQ 190, BP 122.5, DL 210522.5 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | In the morning the gym should be quiet, perfect for implementing the roll-down-belly technique if you fail. | ||

Member 2202, 346 posts SQ 282.5, BP 220, DL 320.5823.0 kgs @ 120kgs UnEq | Not a big problem at all. Bench without clips on the bar. At no point is it really nescessary to do max reps or max weight to become stronger at benching. Might actually make you progress faster from not taking stupid attempts. | ||

 ‘downsizing’ Member 5704, 3234 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 320810.0 kgs @ 96.3kgs UnEq | be careful not every fail will simply be a case of rolling it down the body. early in my training career when weight was fortunately much lighter, i split my forehead open on a fail that i lost towards the head. | ||
