Dr_Pangloss 14,013 Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 lol no one said anything about letting the weight 'rest' on your ribs, it's just a light touch on the bottom of your sternum. Classic powerlifting form, absolutely text book. Link to post Share on other sites

Classic powerlifting form, absolutely text book. So at what point is the strain removed from your shoulder joint? In fact the total opposite is true, the lower you bring the bar the more strain you're placing on your rotator cuff. I'm not saying you SHOULDN'T do that, I'm just saying. You're wrong.

Not at all, if your elbows are tucked, as opposed to being flared out, the stress on your shoulders is pretty minimal. Elbows flared out + 'half' rep is a recipe for disaster as far as your shoulders are concerned. Link to post Share on other sites
dont_do_it_doug. 18,311 Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 The half rep has absolutely nothing to do with it. Nothing at all. Read what I wrote, don't assume something I didn't. Link to post Share on other sites

Read what I wrote, don't assume something I didn't. I answered your question viz. shoulder strain with the point on how you position your elbows when benching.
