    Touching my chest, would require me to go way past parallel which would transfer the weight onto my shoulders and risk tearing my anterior rotator cuff. if you notice i am pressing with a t stance and my elbows are not close to my body... therefore not allowing a rom pas parallel.

    With proper training theres no reason why you couldnt hit 300. It just takes time and hard work but you'll get there.

    You don't touch your chest on DB bench. If you go down to far you could seriously injure yourself. Check out the video Joejn had good technique. Brah
