You never fully extended your arms. Did you do that on purpose or is that how you do your bench press ?

It's called a power press the weight is too light but I still get a pump and still gain strength by doing it.

When I do heavier weight I fully extend

Im gonna try that method next time I bench..I looked it up and apparently you can get more reps in and it put more tension on your chest muscles so you'll build a better chest..

It's cool.

But when cats come in here and just yell half reps,and not knowing that it actually builds muscle long as you do high reps with a heavy weight that's when you look like a fool,because you haven't done your homework.

Not you,just speaking in general power pressing is a good exercise as long as you know what your doing.

Yeah sounds good. Do you do this along with normal benching/you do both in the same workout ?
