If the barbell bench is so great, how come almost every SS'er has underdeveloped pecs? It's like one of the most telling signs someone did SS.

I agree, I also think it's safer than benching because if you fail on your reps you can simply let them drop.

because SS is a beginner's program. as in, "for beginners."
it's not an aesthetic program for advanced lifters. SS-lifters have just begun their journey.

My 1RM for the BP is 180lbs, but I can do sets of 8 with 40lbs, so maybe yes.

I bench 135 4x8 then incline db press 60 4x8, I'd say it's a bit weird, maybe form is off? Or you're screwing your shoulder from bench.

It probably means their dumbbells are too heavy for their strength, but their egos get in the way thinking more weight the better. You have to go all the way down to get that full range of motion.

my 1rm bench is 225 and i usually do 70-75lb db press for reps. if your db press is abnormally low i'd try focusing more on that then regular barbell presses

DB presses are much harder to do than bench in terms of weight. Having to balance each arm individually puts more tension on the chest than a bench press.

Should the weights hit each other at the top position or should they move straight up, if that makes any sense? I'm not sure if i'm doing the movement right.

Barbell is actually safer because it has better mechanics. The bar greatly reduces horizontal torque on the shoulder joint (because the left and right torques cancel). Also, your strong arm can help if you start to fail.

If you fail with a barbell, the answer is to put it on your chest and roll the weight off.

If you fail with dumbbells, you will probably tear your shoulder joint or hit a body part like a hammer or break some property.

Everybody has an underdeveloped everything on SS, because nobody has a developed anything with a few months of training. Also, nobody reads the book and learns about dips and incline bench press and whatnot.

LMAO. SS is a troll routine designed to make you into a fat t-rex virgin loser with no life and no girlfriend.

Squat: T-rex meme exercise, especially 'low bar' lol.
Barbell Bench: Manboobs incoming kek.
Deadlift: Yet another dangerous t-rex meme lift.
Standing shoulder press: LOL enjoy your ruined shuolders and NO DEVELOPMENT.
Power clean: LOLWUT?

I'm sorry you read an out of date version, didn't read it at all, didn't read the sticky, and/or feel for the trolling/retardation of the impressionable newfags.

You should be totally proportionate with SS.

They are all part of SS.

Rip got so much backlash from SS 2 that he made a point of adding chins in SS 3.

The link in the sticky that summarizes SS even mentions this.

There's no need to be willfully ignorant.

Wrong.

A: Squat, bench, deads, dips, hypers, inclined weighted sit ups
B: Squat, chin up, OHP, rows, hypers, inclined weighted sit ups

Fridays only 3+ weeks in: parallel dips and curls

Then again you probably don't even lift, so who cares what you think.
