And it s right by the sticky point so it s difficult to overcome.
The best approach is to use full rom most of the time but use the floor press from time to time for variety.
Avoid the floor press if the floor press can teach us a lesson it is that we do not need as much range of motion on our exercises as we may think.
The wrists should never travel ahead of or behind the elbows which occurs if you lower the bar to the collarbone or the lower rib cage.
Overhead pressing barbells is also safer than dumbbells.
You can limit the range of motion in the bench press to gain the benefits without the problems.
The elbows should be perpendicular to the floor when viewed from the side.
