> It’s weird b/c no matter how beat you are your bench press should always be decently stronger than your shoulder press. That seems to be a serious weak spot for you. To shoulder press 165 for 10 reps is pretty impressive (if they are in good form)…that would usually merit a max Bench Press over 300 lbs for most people. But for you I would focus on Bench since it is lagging so far behind while doing so also focusing on the big lifts. I limit isolation work in my workouts…for example I only do 3 sets a week for bi’s and tri’s. Considering how hard they get hit on a Bench or a back day. Also forearms…I would maybe do some grip work…but doing shrugs, DL’s, rows, ect will hit your forearms pretty hard. …I would really focus on them, other than grip work (farmers walks). To me it is a waste when you can be doing some big/powerful exercises like squat, rows, cleans, clean & presses, DL’s, ect that really pack on muscle at a fast rate.

Ya, bench has never been a good spot for me,i have always been so so on it and most i ever did was 265 maxxed two years ago. I do have serious issues with it and don’t know y but like i sadi,i am just getting back into it. Tri’s get pretty hard when we do dips and overheads. I need to focus more on the benches like u said but i hate it when i am benching nothing but almost air so it seems to me,i nkow in due time it most likely be more weight uped but for now it is sad. Everything else is just fine for me but i want to pack on alot more muscle in my arms,chest n tris.
