Hello fellow chestlet ;_;

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as "Bench", is in fact, Press/Bench, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Press plus Bench. Bench is not a lift unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Press system made useful by 3x10, 5x5, and vital system components such as max weight baby.

Many lifters run a modified version of the Press system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Press which is widely used today is often called “Bench", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the Press system, developed by the Press Project. There really is a Bench, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the lifts they use.

Bench is the movement: the part of the lift that allocates the muscular resources to make it nuthin but a peanut. The movement is an essential part of a lift, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of lifting big to get big c'mon. Bench is normally used in combination with the lifting system: the whole system is basically Press with Bench added, or Press/Bench. All the so-called “Bench" lifts are really lifts of Press/Bench.
