> Military pressing 405 x 8 is crazy. Seems kinda odd you can “ONLY” bench 475 raw when you are Military pressing 405 for 8. I would imagine with a 475 bench you would press 405 for 6-7. That is some dominate shoulders…I know I shoulder press a decent amount less than I do on flat let alone incline.

> Actually I am happy with my bench strength…I am pressing over 350 now and strength isn’t my priority. I am looking to add size. I was going pretty heavy for a while using over 300 lbs for low reps. I just switched it up now where I am using a 15 rep range. I could feel 2 months of heavy benching was taking a toll on my body…I started to get a sharp pain in my elbow. Seemed to flair up when I went heavy…so I am going to try using a 13-15 rep range for a month or two. But feel free to PM me a routine…if you need any details before you make one up let me know. Thanks!!

when i bench, i don’t bounce the bar, or do touch and go. i take the bar off the rack, and come down and hold it at the bottom for a 1 second pause. then i press it up. it makes it a lot harder.
