I'm talking about regular (weak) people doing bench and shoulder presses where people go down to a 90 degree bend in the elbow and then stop
WTF??????
bench press TOUCH THE FREAKING CHEST, TOUCH THE FREAKING SHOULDERS
full range of motion

seriously, where did this stupid idea come from? (it's never on big strong people either, I wonder why)
The personal trainer I was going to for about a year said that there is no more benefit to going more than 90 degrees/parallel to the floor and you open up the possibility of injury exponentially.
