Answer 2

bench is more important in football than just about any other sport.  i think it is pointless in baseball and basketball.  obviously it is most important in boxing but i think it is important.  just keep working on it

Answer 3

Nautilus weights are more important then bench presses. Nautilus weights work your muscles twice as much.Also I suggest working on (boxing) speed bags,jump rope,and joining the wrestling team and/or track team to build strength/

stamina.~~~~~~~~Good Luck!
