Bench: Your bar path is overrated

Take care of your shoulders, and your bar path will take care of itself.

Aiming for a specific touch point kinda becomes arbitrary if you can't control the relative position of your shoulders in space.

Trying to press 'back' over your shoulders when your shoulders are running away from you gets less and less manageable as you add load.

Building positional endurance in the classic "shoulders back and down" setup, learning what that tension should feel like, and using THAT as your guide to how you should move, really does sort out most of your 'bar path' issues.

Tempo variations (both eccentric and concentric), plus the way you execute assistance rows/pulldowns, are a great place to start.
