    Since I’ve started working out my bench has only increase by I think 10 or 5 pound while my squat has increased almost twice as much and my deadlift also

    im stuck in 120kilos (265lbs). Depending on the days i do 3 to 4 reps and other i only get 2 reps. Weird. I just hit 130kg (286lbs) for a single. Its taking me forever to get over those plateaus, like years. I will defenitely incorporate these tips into my workout.

    You didn't explain how to break a plateau. You just explained how to bench and what muscles you use.

      That’s how I broke my 105kg plateau and hit 110kg. Thought I put 2.5s on each end instead of 5s. Was disappointed in myself when I could only get 1 when normally I can 2 until I realised it was heavier than I thought.
      Stuck on 110 so might have to unknowingly trick myself lol.

      Hi Sam! Thanks so much for the feedback and support. Just in case you didn't see on the other video, here are some exercises we recommend for your bicep issue are Rhomboid Rows, Dumbbell Seated External rotations, and roll out your pec with a Lacrosse ball. Let us know if any of these make a difference and if your bicep improves.

The Bench Program will be available for purchase next week. Let us know what you think! We'd love to hear from you! Thank you for the support. Much love ✌

      I had the same issue for 225 a few months back, honestly… I told a bud of mine to meet me at the gym, I told him to work up to 225 on the bench at random intervals, I blindfolded myself and he actually worked me up to 235 without me knowing, keep pushing it’s all mental

    • @aleksiheija8170
      @aleksiheija8170 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Focus on your triceps. If you can lift it off the chest but get stuck after then triceps are yout problem. Keep at it.

    @whynot9616 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I almost got to 225, back in August 2022 I attempted 225 and made it half way so my max was somewhere around 220, then I just stopped going to the gym when Uni started, and just regressed. The main reason tho was because I didn’t have a gym partner.

  • @donaldkasper8346
    @donaldkasper8346 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    My questions: 1. Why use of elbow wraps? 2. When use of weight belt, if ever? Heavy, heavy lifters consistently do at least from online vids. 3. Introducing to a higher wt, I would think you lift off and hold, go down a third then half, and as you get used to the weight, you do a full rep. Full rep first time I don't see who proved that is needed. That is, partial reps and pause reps leading to full reps over time. 4. Head flat or bit off the bench? Seems to help upper chest tensioning when it is slightly up. 5. Straight lift or up and slightly back to the face? 6. My difficulty? Nothing but that first few inches off the chest. Otherwise it is going up. 7. Plateaus. Mine cycle 3 to 4 months and wt lifted launches up 30 lbs. It is never progressive and even. Why this cycling occurs is not clear. 8. Explosive lift from bottom? Way too exhausting. Want firm, quick up, but not explosive up at max wt. For lower diddly wts, fine, with high rep counts 10 to 15.

  • @frostmediaprod344
    @frostmediaprod344 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    As i go over 60kg I'm loosing balance a little, and if I'm going lower down to chest, I can barely push it back, so my heavy sets are always technically bad. So I see it has to do with a full chest activation.

    I was stuck a plateau of 185 for about 5-7 months but in January I was able to hit 185X2 but instead of progressing I’ve gone down I can’t hit 135 for high reps. It could be my intensity being there but idk

      Did you like stop lifting or get a big injury? Cause if you where benching 505 then it be at least suspected that you could bench a minimum of low 300s rn. Mainly cause losing 300 lbs on your bench while working out between 20 years in crazy

    • @inyourgrillbrunson9575
      @inyourgrillbrunson9575 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      505lbs I doubt it unless you stopped training all together or just have low T even so there are doctors for that, but I'm sure you already knew that if you were actually benching 505lbs you would 100% be juiced out or just that God gifted, but if you were that strong why stop?. Of course as you get older it can either make or break you but you would probably still be able to hit 315 solid.

    @garage strength. I'm 52 and I wanted to increase my benchpress. they advised me to take this program. 6 workouts per week. ridiculous. Dan Miller tells us in other videos that we shouldn't train too much and give the body time to recover, especially for older people. so why advise me this program that of course I did not manage to follow. I am really disappointed.
