Benching
Adding this to the list...
Basics
Often thought of as another of the ESSENTIAL lifts - benching is something most people include in their routines. But as a result, many also bench INCORRECTLY and injure themselves as a consequence!
So - Important in performing a SAFE bench press is the combination:
1. GOOD mobility (eg: pecs, scapular movements, thoracic spine mobility),
2. shoulder / scapular stabilisers
3. GOOD technique (safe un-racking, ensuring the bar comes to the correct location on the chest, using the right grip width, safe positioning of feet on the floor).
In terms of both exercise technique AND 'technically legal lifts' (eg: powerlifting), the bench press should be performed so the bar touches your chest.
Some good BENCH resources:

Great post on bench press technique. Thanks a lot!
I think I'm having a form issue indeed. I'll have to ask staff at my gym to give me some feedback.
I also saw this interesting page here:

mixed grip
what is the purpose of a mixed grip for deadlifts?
also, i'm assuming i want to switch the position of each hand for each set?
thanksI'm gonna be one to watch in 2012. Just wait and see.

Allows you to use more weight.
You can switch hand position for symmetry purposes, but there will probably be a hand that your prefer to be overhand and may miss reps when using the "unfavored" grip. More on that: http://startingstrength.com/resource...t=21160&page=1

I took 4-5months off from conventional DL to rehab some lower back issues earlier this year. Now, I'd like to increase my DL again, but only actually DL 1-2x a month. Is this possible? What's the best way to set up a schedule? I'm currently doing a 3x/week full body with a 4th day of isolation "stuff".
