I was working out in the gym the other day when this guy came in with a female. As he was lifting weights it was obvious that he was more concerned with being big poppa pump up than actually do a workout. But I digress. He started to do bench press and was going to parallel and then back up. I told him those only counted if he either touched his chest or broke parallel. He told me that going past parallel gave you a potential danger of hurting your rotator cuff. One, was I wrong for what I said? Two, is it better to stop at parallel or go past.
