@BeefySenpie Some quality numbers. ^_^

@Tatsumi With the exception of bench 馃槨

@BeefySenpie Haha. Not at all, 1.5x your bodyweight is very respectable. You can definitely be classified as "strong".

Do you have all your ques down? Push off the ground to stabilize the weight? Keep your body tight? 3 points of contact? Wider grip? Push diagonally, up towards your starting position off the chest?

If not, you could add 10-20 pounds on your bench with just some form adjustments.

@Tatsumi I'm sure my form could be improved, and I don't feel comfortable with a wide grip

@BeefySenpie I get that. A lot of people don't. It is more dangerous, but you can slowly increase the width by 1 finger each week, and it'll get your body used to it.

If you do face-pulls every workout to keep your shoulder girdle strong, work the rotator cuff, it makes it a lot safer, too. And making sure you're keeping your back strong which is something a lot of people don't take into account for benching health.
