if I dont keep getting my bench up andalite is going to catch up to me lol jk I know you are not big into competition but I couldnt help it nice workouts good to see you cgbp coming up, hopefully it will increase your overhead press. I'd say if you got up to 250x5 it could help the overhead press a lot

Dont listen to T-Block's little remarks, he's just insecure that you'll be outbenching him soon enough.

On a serious note how can you deadlift so much while still not having a beastly bench. You seem to have that powerful stocky bench press phsyique. Stocky dudes are supposed to bench well and deadlift like sht haha.

Because he has problems with his shoulders. And because he doesnt really train the benchpress.

yep yep overhead press is his main lift

Andalite: Has overhead press ever given you any shoulder issues???

 

[the.gladiator1987]

I do BTN and have no shoulder issues. But some people are different

 

[Andalite]

Mike: EM is correct. I suffer from genetically lose shoulder joints so I am prone to excruciatingly painful dislocations. That is why my Bench is lagging in comparison to everything else. I also have to gradually build my aggressive approach to the squat and the bench press because of my shoulder issues. I cannot just jump into them.

Trevor: No, OH Presses are what keeps my shoulder girdle intact. Without them I would be falling apart.

Glad: BTN Presses are not good for anybody because it puts your body is a bad position however they're suicide for me.
