Bench Press

[Pimp]

whats better, going all the way up untill your arm is fully extended, or going half way to 3 quarters the way up and then comming down like i see most of the pros do. whats better for killing ur chest?

Half way to 3/4ths, that's where your pecs are most active.

I don't understand how it could hurt to go the full range of motion. Locked out then down to the skin.

i go all the way... it starts to work the triceps more at the top

[jasmartini]

doesnt this depend on how far apart your hands are?

and yes the closer your grip is, the more the triceps are being worked

just seems like my chest never gets hit as hard as it should, and my tries seems to get most of the work

[motoko013]

try a wider grip

If you're doing benchpress for chest i would keep the tension on the chest.Lock out the tri's and you take tension off the chest.Wider grip and continous movement Not locking out at the top should pump your pecs crazy.
