hey all,
i ran across some interesting info the other day about how far down to bring the bar when bench pressing. I was told that you should not bring it past 90 degrees instead of down to my chest cause it puts too much pressure on your joints. I tried it once or twice, and it seemed alright especially cause ive had shoulder problems in the past.
I feel like I am cheating on the workout tho and also cheating my muscles from getting a full workout.
What are everyones thoughts on this?
