Is my bench form poor? I mean all of the setup and everything?

Is that what you wanna comment? For justifying everything you believe about TOUCHING your chest is a must?? For everybody? Despite advising them that they should do whatever that works?

Look, if you're the person that have big chest or 90 degree elbow angles and rarely had rotator cuff, you WOULD only understand that..but think of also the people which really had been doing some experiments and what works for them as well.. to me, benching 2 inches off is NOTHING wrong as long as the one rep max between touching n not is the same.. Ok I take note that duin rotator exercises will MAYBE eventually avoid all this things..but not everyone does it, including me..

So, I take note on whatever comments that is necessary, but do note on my standings as well on this matter..

You bench for strength, not for size so you are more towards the Powerlifter kind of bench pressing style yet you didn't touch your chest (because of your rotator cuff injury). So, right now, there is no visible goal for you to try to aim more bench poundage. Just like what DL said, even if you managed to hit 200kg bench poundage, you are still disqualified because you are not hitting you chest.

I saw a video once on Youtube, a teenage guy benching 500lbs for 1RM yet didn't touch his chest (1 inch from his chest) and people said that it is not legit bench, Heck, even it will be disqualified in PL comp. So, why bother bench?

For what? Building muscles? Sure. But now, in this very thread, they are discussing about how much is your 1RM lift for bench, squats and deads. They are not discussing about what is the best reps for building muscles.

2 things I want to mention on this video. 1st one is look how Stan Efferding holds the barbell during squat. It might fix the problem on your squats. 2nd, this is the current world record =)

Just tested my max for squat for the first time on last Monday. It was 271lbs 1RM and it is easy (no grinding). I'll test it on next Monday together with deadlift. This Friday I'll test the bench press.

My estimation, I would be around 650 lbs total sad.gif

Mine stats are

bench press - 125kg (275lbs) x 5 reps
squats - 160kg (352lbs) x 4 reps
deadlift - 200kg (440lbs) x 2 reps

so my total is 1067lbs. Yay! I'm in! smile.gif Bodyweight 83kg btw.

If you think of that way, then suit yourself. Others felt that this can increase their motivation more, same as I do. If you don't want to contribute, its fine but don't belittle other's effort.
