Mario Fanzolato replied to Dale's discussion Splitting bench press in to two movements for greater chest workout.

"Hi Dale. It may be my personal opinion, but I believe you can work wonders with 15 kg (or less) dumbbells. Simply slow down the movement (as Eric suggested, 3 seconds up & 3 seconds down, or even slower than that). Take your time with each…"

Splitting bench press in to two movements for greater chest workout.

I have always had trouble hitting my chest.. my arms grow, my chest rarely does. I have long gibbon like arms and a narrow frame.
