For the first time in Norwegian history, a bus will carry passengers in regular traffic without any human behind the wheel. The first pilot without a safety driver was tested Friday, and if all goes as planned, anyone can ride driverless buses starting in May.


Barbell bench press is probably one of the more overrated movements for hypertrophy. In my opinion, the biggest issue is injury risk over time. Pec tears, AC joint problems (ask me how I know 😅) are a big risk over time. For those of us over 40 the risk:reward just isn’t great anymore. Longevity is the name of the game with lifting. A lot of people turn barbbell bench press into an ego lift. They load it up, shorten the ROM, bounce it off their chest, just 'moving weight'. From a biomechanics standpoint, it’s not really ideal either. You’re weakest at the bottom where the load is highest, and strongest at the top where tension drops off. The fixed bar path is another limitation. You’re locked into one movement pattern whether it fits your structure or not. That’s why a lot of people feel it more in their shoulders and triceps than their chest. It’s also telling that many elite bodybuilders have moved away from it. Jay Cutler, Ronnie Coleman (later in his career), and Dorian Yates all shifted toward dumbbells and machines to reduce joint stress and better target the chest. Even Chris Bumstead rarely prioritizes barbell bench, often opting for the Smith machine to create more stability and less joint stress. If your goal is hypertrophy, there are simply better tools like dumbbell presses, machine presses, cable presses, pec deck/fly variations...even bands can work really well. These things let you control the movement, adjust your path, and push closer to true failure much safer. Bench is a great strength lift but it's probably not the most efficient hypertrophy tool if your goal is to build your chest and stay healthy long term.
