How far to bring your arms back during bench press?
It seems most people think the bar should touch your chest but as we are all different shapes and sizes this makes the move different for everyone. Someone who is barrell chested carrying a bit of excess weight (like most powerlifters) can bring the bar to their chest with their tri's not even parallel with the floor. Other builds like me, means my tris go past 90 degress putting more strain on my shoulder. So my question is in your opinion how far back should your arms go?
1. Tri's parallel to the floor
2. Tri's as far back as your chest alllows.
