So, you call yourself a bodybuilder? Think people can tell that you hit the weights? Well, what's the most common question they ask about your physique endeavors? How thick your quads are? How much you can shoulder press? Nope - they wanna know how much you can bench - and unless you come back with a decent enough number they're gonna dismiss you as a limp wristed try hard, no matter how striated your hamstrings happen to be. It may not be fair but the bench press is the standard by which we measure gym manliness. It's the grand daddy of upper body exercises, the number one chest, triceps and deltoid mass builder. It's also the most egotistical movement in the gym and, not surprisingly, the most abused, badly performed, over indulged and potentially dangerous thing you can do there short of risking arrest. Fortunately, bad bench press form is not inevitable. Follow some common sense suggestions with our back to basics guide and you'll be able to proudly and confidently quote a bench figure that'll have onlookers saying ,"Now that guys a real bodybuilder."
