saw some horrific form on the bench press today
skinny dude, with a moderate dude spotting
50kg in total (I left the weights on), and the bar is tilting towards one side as the bar is going down, and lifting it back up was a near possibility.
basically two handed dumbbell curl
absolutely useless

Sorry if I sound retarded.

It's part of the program called Ice cream fitness.
Apparently, it's a balance between gaining strength, and hypertrophy as a complete newbie.

why oats wouldn't weatabix be a better option ?

oats once left in milk for 10-15 minutes are easy to chew/swallow
extra carbs
