Anyone else have this issue where you can press more in DBs than you can in a BB bench
I can put up the 90s for 8 times, but recently I decided to start going back to the bench press and found I could hardly put up 185 for 4 times
My max BB bench sits at 205x1 still even after increasing my PR for DB press from 80x8 to 90x8 in the last few months. I'm even thinking about putting up the 95s for 6 next week, but my BB press is so embaressing
I find that my triceps and anterior shoulders hurt during BB presses and sometimes I feel my tricep is going to give out any second
