Proper bench press form.

[hair today gone tomorrow]

I'm sure a lot of guys who hold bench press records probably have disproportionate muscles.

most of them are power lifters which means they bench squat and deadlift...thats pretty much working your whole body...they also do assistance work for their arms....I would doubt they are disproportionate.

I'm sure a lot of guys who hold bench press records probably have disproportionate muscles.

Why do you say that? Bench press uses delts, pectorals, lats & triceps. Plus strong core muscles to keep tight throughout the movement. Most anyone that holds a bench record also competes in squat & DL.

I have seen videos of super short armed fat guys that can bench about 1,000lbs, but that breed is few and far between.

I know we're talking about benching, but check this vid out. Andrzej Stanaszek squatting 616lbs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWIx7fALqjk

Stanaszek's record lifts are
Squat - 661lbs - 6x his bodyweight
Bench - 402lbs - 3.65x his bodyweight
Deadlift - 325lbs - 2.96x his bodyweight

All done at a bodyweight of 110lbs. Like I said, ROM.
