Well, I’m not what you would call clean. I was diagnosed with Hypogonadism two years ago so I’ve been on TRT ever since. Pre TRT I was never able to put on muscle so I just stayed as lean as possible. I was around 130-140 and my max bench was around 225 with a slingshot on, which is how I had to bench because I couldn’t recover from any injuries.
Long arms make benching harder since you have to move the weight over a greater distance. It also puts more stress on your shoulders to keep your elbows tucked. I’m 5’7 with normal-length arms for my size, so their still going to be much shorter than the bigger boys in here.
