I just got my power cage! I was training only with a flat bench, BB and DB's. I want to try max stim with my bench after the HST cycle before SD. Heavy Max Stim curls worked awesome for my arms and gave my a huge boost in my curl strength.
So I want to set the spotter bars and start from the low position. How low do I set them? I have them set at about and inch above chest hight. But it seems REALLY hard to lift any decent weight from that starting position.
Also, how deep should you bench anyway? If I don't go too low when benching I can lift way more than if I go lower.
Is it beneficial to maybe bench a bit shallower with a heavy weight? And bench with a lighter weight but go as low as possible as another exercise? My aims are to get a strong bench. I like to push strength for a while after a HST cycle before SD.
