Used the cambered bar to bench 340x3. The third rep was a rough one, I had to tap it and go (with clips on to balance it, I can’t just dump it if I fail). The work of an assistance exercisepic.twitter.com/WdS1yODiXc

I was done with benching for about 3yrs lol I didn't start benching again until I got a home gym.
Yeah, I probably benched 3-5 times between 2015 and 2017, and really only had a run with it this year and last. This isn't high school. I dont care about that lift that much. It's just easy

Largely my conclusion too. I decided I didn't really wanna compete in any powerlifting competitions in the near future. The lift I truly enjoy is Skwats. I did a machine press instead of bench for about 3yrs to make up for not benching.

Also, I care more about overhead press for upper body strength. More of a true test of strength imo as it's harder to either use arch, big belly, or whatever to get an overhead press up. You actually just have to press it.

I'm old, and the risk reward ratio just isn't there unless I was making money from the act of benching and juicing accordingly. Then I'd do what I needed to do
