Bench Press....... Yay or Nay

[FOZY]

bench press seams to fu*k up my shoulder every time i go back to it....Anyone ever just give this exercsize up all togeather. I feel DB's work the area better anyway........

i don't think i would ever give up the BP...it is the reason for my foundation.

yay

YAY

The Bench is a great exercise and should be done... unless U get hurt from doing it of course

No way. I'm through with Flat benching, there are better alternatives like the incline and Dumbells.

Try Dumbell presses on a 15 degree incline

my trainer never has me do bp unless you count dumbbell presses

 

[Rebelrocker]

Bench should always be found in your workout routine

i am gonna keep doing bench press until my shoulder falls off, i have to do it cause my gym doesnt have heavy enough dumbells..damn college gym. no hammer either!!

I haven't done bb bp in 2 years.. for one reason, I workout alone and with db's, don't need a spotter. Another reason is you get a much better range of motion with db's.

Bench press will certainly bother my shoulder if I don't warm up my delts first. I just do a light warm-up set for shoulders before I do a warm-up set on the bench. Haven't had a problem since. I couldn't imagine my chest routine without the BP, though I will skip it from time to time.

I do 'em, but I know a few guys that think they're a waste of time compared to alternative lifts
