The most difficult aspect of barbell bench press is the pressure on my hands. I can pull things but I can't push em.
Man I'm the opposite. My bench used to be really bad and my deadlift was solid, now my bench is decent and I can't even deadlift anymore.
I can bench 185 3-4 times depending how good I'm feeling, but deadlifting I can barely do 185 (I used to be able to do 300 once). I took a break from deadlifting about a year ago cause I plateaued to work on squats, then when I tried to get back into it, it was terrible.
5'8" 160 lbs if it matters.
