DB bench press

>>39957882
My rule of thumb is the weight of the dbs +10kg is the bb equivalent, so your bench seems to lack hardcore. If you do 2 bench variations on one day to Extreme rep differences, like 3x5 bb and 3x12 db. Bench doesnt matter that much for chest gains but db is probably better

How does your chest look? Noticeable in a shirt?

>>39958004
This has been the exact case with me. 40kg DB, 100kg BB

Looks good and noticeable, if they comment on something people always comment on my chest. But I fear I am missing out and could get it even bigger. I prefer doing db bench press tho.

I will have to try it, never tried my max with barbell since I am too autistic to ask for a spot

Why, out of interest?

You should do BB Bench Press as your main chest excerise.
DB bench is a complementary exercise. If you want to do many reps, get a low angle which you don't reach with your BB bench.

Moreover it's uncomfy as fuck. It's very annoying and far more dangerous to bring heavy DBs into the proper position.

I don't need a spot and doing it just feels great to me. My favorite exercise desu

Another question, I've been lifting for a year, doing incline db press for maybe 6 month but I'm still below 27kg/60ibs per dumbbell. Is this really pathetic? It's never been my main exercise, like bench, dl or squats. The guys at pol laughed at me.

I stayed on DBs for far too long with both chest press and flyes

Immediately started progressing faster on BB and cable flyes

BB = More manageable weight hence bigger weight hence bigger gain. Supplement with other stuff for range of motion etc and you're golden

>>39957882
Btw, are you supposed to have your shoulders that high?

>>39958241
I got to 30kg DBs after 9 months then due to set backs I'm back down to 28kg DBs and 75kg BB

Not pathetic but certainly slow

>>39958261

I keep them more tucked. But in general if the db dont go above your shoulders you should be good imo

Honestly that's a good weight for the time period and that it's incline db bench press.
