What Is The Correct Way To Bench Press For Gains?
I am a 16 year old male who trains about 4 times a week. I have been training the past 3 years. I am about 5’5″ and weigh 124 pounds. I have a 37 inch chest which is pretty good for someone my size. My goal is 40 inches by the end of the year. I have really come a long way through training. I started off weighing 86 pounds and I am really happy with my results. I basically focus most of my time on my chest, and as of late whenever I work out anything, I feel most of the pressure in my shoulders and in my triceps instead of my pecs, especially after bench pressing. Do you have any sugestions why this is? I feel that is weird because my form is really good. I’ve read somewhere that you should only go halfway down on your bench press and stop when your shoulders are parellel to the bench. But, on this site it says to touch the bar to your chest. Which way would you suggest? Also, I’ve basically been stuck at 180 pounds for bench press as of late and I was wondering how I could increase it
