[QUOTE="stx359, post: 176068, member: 19129"] Just to chime in from a different perspective - my upper body looked very similar after a career as an Army officer (running every day, no weights) which is not a bad way to look in your 50's but not exactly muscular either. I started doing Crossfit four years ago which includes no machines or cables to speak and no bench press whatsoever. We do tons of barbell stuff but everything off the ground (deadlifts, cleans), lots of body weight stuff (pushups, pullups) and lots of cardio mixed in. After a couple years I had chest and traps like a gorilla and I am 50. Pretty much the only thing I do that even resembles bench press is push ups and burpees (1000s of them in the last four years). Interestingly I was messing around on a bench a few months ago with a buddy and put up 295 rather easily and I never bench. I weigh 245 (11% body fat). So obviously my strength hasn't suffered.
