"How Much Can Ya Bench?"
The Bench Press is one of the most popular lifts in the gym. And it's one of the lifts that people use to judge your overall strength and muscle progress.
In fact, I can remember back in my early days of weight training when I was still in school people used to regularly ask me 2 questions:
- "How Much Can Ya Bench?"
- "How long have ya been benching?"
It was as if the bench press was the only exercise anyone ever did LOL
Now the bench press is certainly a good lift, but it's only a small piece of your whole muscle building program. But non-the-less it's an exercise that people put a lot of emphasis on.
