Just do both, they are both different aspects of strength, bench press is a full upper body strength movement, and deadlift is a full body movement (legs, back, biceps, traps, shoulders, core, etc...) Best lifts: 165kg Squat / 142kg Bench / 220kg Deadlift / @ 83kg Weight Class. Current BW: 176.9.
Rep Power: 192. Bench press won't go up. I've been training for about 5 months, and my bench press has been stuck at 135lbs x 5 for 2 months now. I cannot add an ounce to it. I do this exercise about once every 10 days, 5 sets 5 reps. Aditionally, I do dips the same amount and db bench presses for 5 sets but 12 reps also every 10 days.
The other reason is the mechanics of a squat are, in my opinion, more difficult than benching. There's a lot of components to the squat that you got to worry about (mobility, tightness, etc.). These are all more subtle and harder to improve on than benching. You got weak legs bro. You need to focus on legs a lot more.
Rep Power: 4188. bench: 205. clean: 185 (205 should be in the bag soon though) I think it sounds about right that they'd be close to the same if you train BOTH lifts well.

Rep Power: 12587. you will be weaker on overhead presses, The degree will depend in how much you hammared yourself on chest day (usually if you do have a 2x week frequency) it won't be so bad, if you have a 1x frequency where you tend to be hammared and sore, your overhead presses the next day will be rubbish.
Posts: 5,649. Rep Power: 15461. The chest muscle wont suddenly stop. If you lack of strength, you will just be unable to lift the bar off from your chest. Unless you bench press over your throat (wich is wrong, the bar should touch your t-shirt in your nipples area), you wont die because you lack of strength.
Rep Power: 1337. bodybuilders will say no because it takes stress off of the muscle. powerlifters will say yes because the stress locking out inflicts on your bones may spur new bone growth *density and thickness/girth*. 06-03-2009, 07:55 PM #8. nano.ix.
Where should the bar touch on the bench press? I've heard mixed opinions - some saying closer to the neck, on the line of the nipple or below the chest. Draw a imaginary line from nipple to nipple. That's where the bar should come down. -If you want things you've never had, you must do things you've never done.
My bench press has been higher than my rows for a long time, then in the last 2.5 months my rows caught up. Now it's at 180lbs for 8 reps, increasing by 5 pounds about every 1.5 weeks. My bench press goes up 5 pounds every 2 weeks if I'm lucky. It's currently at 175lbs for about 8 reps. I feel like it's progressing slowly, and it's inconsistent.
