That's not an issue for me. I've always been a stickler on form.

If you just started the program and you stalled already though, you are starting too heavy. I would reset the DB weight to no more than 55 lbs and increase by no more than 1 or 2 lbs per DB per workout (hopefully your gym has the magnetic wieghts that Komskies listed below as that is exactly what you need). If you can't do that then I would switch to the barbell and again start conservative and increase by 5 lbs on the barbell.

I think you misunderstood me. I've been doing DB bench press since about June of 2010. It has been just recently that I have stalled at 65 lbs. I'm going to stick to the barbell bench press for this program, and I intend to increase the weight much slower.
I will. Thanks again for all your help.
