kb: I don't think there is an ultimate "show of strength" exercise....but you gotta admit....a strong bench press is impressive. However, since I'm a wuss at squats....they impress me more.  Ah, heck....I'm pretty impressed with strength period. Heavy weights being lifted, muscles rippling.....oh yeah! 
What are y'alls favorites for chest? I'm going with incline presses and flyes. |
I think strongman type of competitions get about as close as you can for ultimate show of strength, but otherwise I agree with ya.
I have always LOVED bench pressing and watching a BIG bench in action. I like any angle of pressing and use quite a variety. I bench high volume and heavy many weeks out of the year, but never to failure. Never a problem to speak of so far. I'm a fan of strength as well. |
