I play a shitload of soccer and just have never been good at bench press. I'd consider it a blessing if you just run all the time and can still bench nearly 3 plates at 5'11", 185. That's damn impressive.

This reply is to answer Lew as well as Silock -
I know what good form on a bench is. I work out with a guy who is 72 and holds 10 or 12 BP records for his age and weight over the years and some are 20 year old NASA records that still stand.
I didn't mean I "just run" I work out chest at least once a week sometimes 2.
What you guys are posting tells me I need to get to work on dead lift and not concern myself as much with bench. I doubt my squat will ever be that high as much as I run, its a choice. I need to work my glutes more but obviously I dont want huge size since I am still a distance runner at this point.
Wasn't knocking anyone I was just blown away at the dead lift numbers.
