bench press is the best gauge of RAW PHYSICAL STRENGTH. you only downplay this because you're a pudgy, weak little shit of a manlet with an equally embarrassing bench press.
nobody gives a shit that you can bounce your morbidly obese gut off of your legs for your little bullshit wide stance "squat". nobody cares about your 5 inch ROM sumo "deadlift".
bench. press. is. king.
Overhead press
if your OHP was actually impressive youd have an impressive bench too. sick of these OHP copers on this board. its a great lift, but you guys latch onto it like this cuz u constantly get mogged on the bench by random boomers at the gym. so you try to claim to be strong by basing it off a lift normies dont do, so u never see them mog you on it.

>I fell for the only shoulders matter meme and now my OHP is better than my bench
Did I make it?
YES
I ohp 190 but I don't even bench besides neck press
>if your OHP was actually impressive youd have an impressive bench too.
Yeah, but not vice versa. That's why OHP is king
>t. 3.5 pl bench, 1 pl OHP
Based
No, the Standing Incline Overhead Press is the best exercise for demonstrating strength.
This
Bench is a manlet lift
Furry breasts ya got there
Did you know that powerlifters bench too
Did you know that OP is a literal homosexual?
Nothing gay about having aesthetic goals you pussy
You have literal gay porn on your harddrive, fricking baka
The irony of this post is the dudes with the best bench press are always fat ass ugly bloatloads.
10 bucks you bounce the bar off your chest, if you even touch it at all.
Clean and jerk is the king, IMO. Takes athleticism, so not really IST though
>Abrupt and sudden movements with heavy weights that fricks your joints up more than using a jackhammer all day
>"best exercise"
itt: cope
I prefer dumbbell bench press. Better ROM.
Sorry OP. Other exercises like pulling large weights behind you are for strength, overhead press, rows, and overhead dead-lifts. Pull up varieties like muscle ups and handstand pushups are also good ways to measure your general strength. Bench press is mostly for aesthetics and it's application is fairly specific.
Nothing beatsthe upside-down inverted squat
do i have to roid to look like this
No, you only have to take it up the ass
achievable natty, or what
Here's an example of a Natty physique.
pretty sick
Men aren't supposed to have breasts, Black person. Hang clean and jerk is the only test of strength that matters.
That's actually my dream physique.
Probably not natty but it's still really good looking, I might not achieve it with roids though because my genetics are trash.
op is a fat frick who cant run 10m without passing out and coping with "muh strength". nobody cares about your bench press if your an unathletic powershitter
>b-bench p-press is the best g-gauge of RAW PHYSI-
Don't care. I will continue squatting as much as I can so that I can acquire earth-shaking quads that strike terror into everyone within my general vicinity. 32" quads here I come
imagine laying on your back like a gay, and thinking that is the best gauge of raw physical strength.... nice cope queer.
dead lift and OHP are much better gauges.
>the best bench specialists are FAT
>the best OHP specialists are FAT
Name a strong fat weighted pull up-er, I’ll wait. There is no way to force feed yourself to being good at this lift unlike bench / OHP
Bench press is just a poor man's weighted dip.
gay and more gay you double gay u gay homosexual
benchpress is the least practical movement
the big b***h breasts it gives is gay as frick
It's literally the worst thing to focus on.
