Weak Bench press ...HELP!!!

[_Smitty_]

Bringing weight to a dead stop in mid air isn't that smart considering the propensity for injury... Might not be so bad benching 135; 405, on the other hand...

When my collar bone was healed it still took a long time before i could perform a push up or bench press (with good form no less) without pain. It's not that you're hitting the collar bone, it's the pressure through your shoulder...
