Well yeah, since smith machine able to lift more, but i can't feel the tension on my chest during bench pressing on smith machine compare to free weights bench press. Plus smith machine is always occupied in my gym ._.

Do a bench press today, i train at smith machine i find it hard to put my elbow out side when i lift it down, in positioning looks ok then when started to lift it just like my elbow goes back and from up looks like a 1 straight line

Just wanna ask u guys bout benchpressing. Arching ur back is the correct way or back flat is the right way? Too many inputs from diff sources makes me 

Thanks for the info bro. Few of the answers from gym members with nicely, just right size built chest:
- arching will hurt ur backbone if done wrongly
- arching is the WRONG way. Should be flat on the back.
- just do whichever u feel comfortable <---- better don't answer like dat 

Myself notice i do arch a bit when benchpressing.

No.

disagree, i can do CGBP on smith just fine?

and my form on smith and free weights are the same. so long you're not doing powerlifting style you're pretty much going up and down on a roughly straight line

guys need opinion on benching, my shoulder and traps usually give up before my chest, usually the next day i only feels sore at my outer pecs but not inner pecs, and i've tried all kinds of grip, wide or narrow... this had already last for 4 months, im 9 months into lifting, all my other parts developed well but not my inner chest... i looks like i have a saggy boobs zzz

could it be the chance my forms are wrong, or my traps and shoulder are undertraining so it could not par with my chest... i can only dumbbell shoulder press 45lbs 5x5 at 163cm 64kg =(

*and yeah i watched several youtube video and followed their form but still my shoulder and traps gave up first zzzzz

holyshit lol but my traps are feelling something but not triceps  i've tried benching with elbow tucked in, and then my forearm muscle cramp 

Congratulations!

Also added in the weight of the shaft/rod ? Easily another 20-30 kg.

What is your body weight ?

Now already at > 1 for weights lifted / your body weight ?

Cheerio.

I remember u having some sort of injury which is why u dont touch chest right?

Benching on the floor at home without a proper rack or spotter. Just rack it up back on a couple of chairs. Failed, and got pinned down a few times already but thankfully not much physical damage. Mentally affects me whenever I try to bench heavy again though.
