Qualifications Avid Bodybuilding Reader Looking to Learn More I've Been to the Gym | Re: How Far Down To Go On Bench Press I prefer not to bring it down all the way to my chest but fairly close. Bringing it down to the neck region stresses the upper pecks while bringing it down to your nipples or a little under stresses the bottom of your muscle more. |

Qualifications Avid Bodybuilding Reader Looking to Learn More I've Been to the Gym | Re: How Far Down To Go On Bench Press I always go to about 2'' above my nipples on flat bench, 1'' to my collar bone on incline, and i actually touch my chest on decline (touches the bottom of the chest). |

Qualifications Update your profile! No qualifications entered yet. | Re: How Far Down To Go On Bench Press When making the decision to bench press keep in mind that everyone is built with different mechanics in the way they are put together,ex.arm length, joint strength and tendon strength. My best advice is to use the form that gives you the best pump without joint pain. Just use the form that feels good to you |
