Wes		Does Shoulder work hinder your Bench ?	13-02-2010 @ 11:44
31.6 and Obese !! Get in.... Member 869, 1355 posts SQ 320, BP 200, DL 310 830.0 kgs @ 97.5kgs Eq	I was told by someone a while ago (can't remember who) that doing heavy shoulder work actually hindered his progress on the Bench. Can anyone relate to this ? The reason I ask, is that due to the fact that my Bench is s**t, I'm doing all I can to try and rectify it. I've dropped a lot of heavy shoulder stuff until recently, the thing is I enjoy doing it... I realise a lot of it is down to the individual, but I was just wondering if it is a common issue. Thanks !

crushed the generals chance of 6th place Member 588, 5477 posts SQ 200, BP 100, DL 200 500.0 kgs @ 84kgs UnEq	What sort of weights do you put overhead? Your bench is not st really but it could be that your st overhead is holding your bench back

The thing is though, as I bench twice per week (heavy and speed), I thought it might suit best to do heavy push presses on heavy bench day and front and side raises etc on my d/e bench day ? Just trying not to do too much, but at the same time trying to 'tick all the boxes' so to speak...
