    Bench press vs pendlay rows

    A bloke I was speaking to the other day reckoned that you should be to row (bent over rows or pen daly row) approximately as much as you can bench, so that your muscles are 'balanced' - thoughts on this? Correct, rubbish, bro science?

    Unracking the Bench Press

    Heard a P.T. teaching a noob the three big lifts. I heard him say never unrack the bar yourself when Benching as its bad for your shoulders. He told him to always get a spotter to lift the bar off/up to the start point. Is unracking the bar yourself when Benching bad for your shoulders?

    Bench assistance

    I've got a terrible bench, what will make it better is benching more. I'm curious as to what you guys do as assistance to help bench more. I know Dips help, ive read that overhead work helps. Is there anything else I can do to help it?
