Will chest size decrease bench stroke???

[Cubanito17]

Well I know I have to work lats and back thats an obvious I mean look at my bench form how close I am, If I could just widen up I would do good, BUT I tried widening up I go down 60lbs on my bench when I go wider. So I don't wanna get weaker instead of stronger.

Now as for chest, if getting a bigger chest does help shorten it which I already knew, I mostly wanted responses like ok do this incline DB's for 3 sets of 6 or something like that ?????Does anyone know anything that will help like this or other things???? thanks

Deciever about the implants I said I wanted a big chest, NOT FUCKING GIANT MELON TITS

I guess that practicing and working on a big arch could help cut down the distance of the bench press a lot.

I think that pecs grow from any kind of bench press or variation including board presses, floor presses, etc.

Put one hand on your pec and press with the free hand you will feel your pec contract even if you press it low so your pecs should automaticy grow from the DE and ME days.

A lot of the bench press is mental. If you think that you have a long distance and you let that get to you then you need to change this. Jay said he has a 70' inch reach measured like a boxer and look how well he does. Mine is 78' but I dont ever let that get me down either cause its psychological.

Besides the aformenioned lat and upper back work you must say fuck itI don't care how long I have to go cause I will press that weight up and you can make those long arms work in your favor in deadlifting and its cool to be able to help hot chicks reach the stuff on top shelf in the grocery store (happened to me) just make sure that you don't have a sweatstain on your armpit area of your shirt lol!

Take a really deep breath before you go on your downstroke.
Every little bit counts.

I have a rather large chest for no bigger than I am. The only thing I ever did to make it bigger was flat bench. Incline would help too!

OK thanks for all the replys guys, I was looking at my back today and it could use ALOT of work to get THICKER then that will decrese a lil, and about the DL with long arms I know that's why I like DL's I'm good at them it's sweet. I might just try for 3 weeks or something doing incline DB presses and throw them in every once in a while.

I don't have a thick chest......but I've been working a lot on my arc...and have noticed that I can cut the travel just by pinching my shoulders and keeping my foot placement further back - which in turn keeps my butt stuck on the bench - but my weakness is off the chest so I've been trying to find ways to cut the travel because I'm a fairly small build, work on the arc and the travel will decrease..I roll on a pvc pipe to stretch my back out, seems to help some.

Also consider that some of the best benchers EVER were not short guys at all. I dont know their arm length measurements but check out their heights;

Here is the approx heights

Bill Kazmeyer about 6'2 or taller
Glen Cabot 6'2
George Halbert 5'11

And they could be three of the best ever and they are tall.

So make those long arms work in your favor! blast that bench!!

Thanks for all the replys, I really can't arch my back b/c it hurts since I pulled a muscle in my lower back so that's not gonna happen with me, and cyto thanks for the encouragement with BIG BENCHES bro.
