Do you you guys touch the bar to your chest when doing bb bench?

I cant see any reason why you wouldnt want to touch the chest. I find that people with a weaker chest and stronger tricep will tend to fall short on their ROM so they can displace their weight onto their tricep. The lower you go, the more stretch your chest will get and the more you can train it to contract stronger. The only special case I would make for partial ROM for bench is when i am testing 1RMs
