Set Muscle

Do you think adding overhead pressing can strengthen shoulders for better bench press support?

I tried a Smith machine for bench pressing once, and my shoulders felt worse. Free weights all the way.

How tight is your grip? A grip that’s too wide used to kill my shoulders.

Anyone else feel like deloading weeks are underrated for shoulder recovery?

I’ve never tried them, but what about using chains or bands for bench press variations?

Chains and bands are fun, but they’re tough to set up. My gym doesn’t even have them.
