I keep stressing this too.

Yeah, its not official bench rep i agree, but its still above the so called "half ass rep" which going only 5-6 inches lowering down from lock out..at least i do go 1-2 inches above chest..

Compared to other parts, my chest is the most build part. In fact,

Look at this guy, he benches 100kg 12 reps yet look at his chest..

Yes, big chest is equivalent more growth for strength but doesn't always have to be..

Neutral POV..

So now you always stick to full ROM? Have u tried to include partials in ur current routine or just throw it as far away as possible?

From your current stat of 140kg x 6 reps bench, I guess it requires some strong mental endurance n high spirit to do so?

Btw, how much you weigh? Bodyfat level?

The bottom line is, this being a bench press thread, there should be certain conditions to adhere to for an attempt to be considered proper. The simplest way to go about this is to do what the best (arguably) bench pressers in the world do (powerlifters), and touch your chest.

You mentioned a rotator cuff injury. Have you done anything about it? By cutting your ROM on your bench, you're not fixing your injury, you're avoiding it. Which is fine if you never ever bench full ROM in your life again as long as it doesn't hurt, but you still carry that injury.

I've been training at least 4 years since 2008.. currently major lifts are squat, bench n deadlift.. with added assistance exercise..

Any tips for benching 140kg?

To me, I've had rotator problem somewhere around 2010..it cause my bench to stagnant..until i tried this method from the net which says so 1-2 inches above..and off course as people say, avoiding not curing the problem..however, still feel that it's not wrong duin the partial thing..just that maybe i don't have same power as duin full ROM and yeah i agree to that also..

Honestly said, I can only do around 108kg touch n go one rep max...not including paused..well it's not really that gud ya..

However, currently up till now have not suffer any more rotator problems, the only draw back I'm having is less power with less ROM..that's all i can think about for now..at least..

I'm not really a pro bodybuilder, nor a pro powerlifter though..

Just to share one of the strong lifts in my gym, he's a personal trainer, doing 160kg bench for 3 reps..

Any comments on the form?

I benched without a spotter today. Didn't expect to fail that early. 70kgs fell on me on my 3rd set of flat bench. I still don't know how u guys can roll it off so easily. Even though its only 70kgs, I get scratches all the way on my tummy. And it hurts like f***. I actually failed twice without racking it properly. But it's easier to roll off on an incline bench.

Have u tried 120kg rolling on your tummy?
