I didn't read everything, but as a non competitive bodybuilder myself, I will say I know 3 friends who tore their pecs from bench pressing. I actually ALMOST tore mine from it as well and I had to take off a few weeks from working out my chest.

I've heard coaches say that it isn't a matter of if you'll tear your pecs, its a matter of when.

I personally stick to dumbbell only. I don't do flat barbell press ever.
