    Tall about embarrassing...320lb on hammer press machine for 6 reps, 250lb on smith machine for 10 reps, flat bench dumbell press 80lbs per hand for 10 reps, seated fly machine 200+lb for 12 reps, and....when I lay under that bar I suddenly 185lbs for maybe 4 reps

      My gym smith machine bar might be 45 pounds, but it is counterbalanced to zero. Some I think are balanced to 10 pounds. Smith machine for bench is really hard for me as the bar does not come out on a lift so the motion is totally confined and determined.

    For me it's the mechanics. I feel like once I improved my mechanics, the lift became that much more manageable. Especially working out at home, by myself, it got to be difficult to lift the bar off properly while still maintaining scapular contraction. Once I figured out how to do that, the lifts just became . . well. . . easier.

    I weighed 160kg 15 months ago, and I was very weak physically. Could barely bench 35kg, deadlift 60kg, squats were challenge on its own without barbell hahaha... Now I am at 102kg, very slowly cutting to 95kg to lose belly fat but 3 months ago I was doing 95kg bench for 6 reps x3-4 (110kg 1 rep max) but now I am doing 85kg bench for reps and i can barely do 100kg bench for 1 rep max... while everything else is improving... like I can deadlift 180kg or 170kg for reps, 130kg squat for reps, 6 pull ups from 0 my whole life.. just my bench out of all exercises is decreasing and i am sure its not anything from video above as I hired coach to help me so we take extra care especially on all compound exercises. I'd say its because I lost weight but idk why only bench, and I am pretty sure I didnt lose muscle because, even though i am in deficit i eat over 180-200g protein a day and creatine on top of that.

    For me it’s weird, I can dumbbell bench press 75 lbs but I struggle with 180-185 bench press. I can do 135 for more than 10+ reps easily, I can do 155 for about 5 reps for 5 sets on a good day but it can be a struggle sometimes to get 5 reps in. I’ve been going to the gym for a while now but I never had access to barbell bench for most of it so I always used dumbbells. I feel like most of my issues come from my form because I definitely feel like I can push the weight up but starting and going down is where I mess up. I sometimes feel it in my left shoulder.

      @donaldkasper8346 ปีที่แล้ว

      First you can determine your 1 rep max with all kinds of Google calculators, but it works out to your max wt with 10 reps plus 50 pounds. This is accurate to 1 rep. From that, you lost 2 reps per 10 pounds. So your 1 rep max stands at 185 or slightly less. 10 at 135. 8 at 145. 6 at 155. 4 at 165. 2 at 175. You just hit zero, your max here is 175. So when you get to 10 at 145, you can do 1 or 2 at 185. You are at that rep roundoff where you might be at 180, now. This happens to be also my performance now.

    I don't feel like my rep range matters for me specifically cus my bench is just horrible. I've been benching for about 6 months and still haven't passed 90lbs while all my other lifts are going up. I genuinely don't understand what about the bench isn't going well for me since my strength everywhere else is increasing and even in my chest flyes. It's just the bench that's not increasing. I've even tried changing rep range from 8-12 to 3-6 and while my weight went up a bit it quickly plateaued again. If you know why this is then please help but yeah idk.

It's just that there are so many beginners with bad technique that can still easily do more than 90lbs so it seems weird if my technique is so bad that it makes me stuck on a weight most people pass within their first months of benching. Also isn't doing a bench-focused program gonna slow down my progress in all my other exercises?

So he put me on one of his programs that has a much slower progression method. Now I'm supposed to lower my weight by around 10kg and start doing 8 reps then the next workout 9, then 10 and then add weight. Instead of adding weight right when I reached the top of the rep range like I did last time. Try that out yourself. Don't be afraid to lower the weight and go for slow but steady progression.

    • @Criticalbench

      A person with a max bench press of 315, the 8-10 rep range with 225 for 3 sets sounds average. Unless you're saying you can only get 8/9 reps and that it 🤔 then id say thats weird.
      I'd train for what you want to achieve. Stay away from maxing higher weights and fatiguing the muscle early, instead jump into repping out 225 after a good chest/shoulder warmup.

    Comment before the video: all my other muscles I see progress all in all, strength, cut, size, etc…
    But my bench press is a brick wall…why?

      Bench press requires a bunch of bench variations, high volume, perfect technique, etc. Train bench 3x/week. Check out juggernaut training systems Bench technique videos.

      Girls can press a lot of weight. It’s all about the right training and putting in hard work. Check out world record holder Jen Thompson. She can bench 315 pounds at a body weight of 132. Keep working at it and keep us posted.

      225 can even be all mental sometimes, keep working 💪

    I can only do aboit 2 exercises tho before my chest just gives out and i lose all my strength. My chest gets fatigued so easily and it makes it difficult to work it as hard as id like to

      Leg press is not a good indicator of strength. Strength comes from consistent intense exercise over time. Keep working 💪

      That’s a good ratio. You’re almost at 1.5 times your body weight. Very strong/elite is 2x/bodyweight.
