The best exercise is usually the one you're not doing.

Completely agree with all these tips. Sometimes you also just need to take a break from the lift and let that pattern recover.

[ibidibi]

I think switching up the variations of the bench press is really important. For example benching with chains, bands, even using a Swiss bar is really awesome to improve your bench press

[batmanfan]

Dig the shirt. I love your guys knowledge on lifting and the values yall have.

[isiahmartin]

Stuck at 355 on bench I want 405 more than I want to breathe

[branrx]

In high school explosive push presses I did in track for shot put, i credit for breaking my bench plateaus

[STIXAHOY]

I did one arm push ups for awhile and that allowed me to break through my BP plateau try to rep out with one arm push ups. And when you're good at that feet elevated one arm push elevation about an inch or 2 off the ground would really make the exercise hard !!!!

2:35 i swear i was about to comment and ask about weighted dips

[JamalDizel]

What about the negative phase? Imo working on the negative phase can help you tremendously.

[taylorallen]

Doing some light rows to prime before bench press changed the game for me

[jesusmontoya]

Good advice. What do you guys think about continually reaching 80% of the press and a single rep for five sets and control the movement? You guys are awesome.

I havent hit a plateau yet I think, rn I have a 190 pounds bench, this week a did a deload, trying to go for 195 tomorrow, I weigh 123 pounds. Bench/dumbbell press are my favorites exercises.

[juicegeneral]

Switch to dumbbells. Sace your shoulders! And build more strength

[yeezy]

Been with yall for a while. I have a question. I have heard from my doctor that tbe OHP is a unnatural and dangerous movement. What do you guys think about that statement

[MrObasiah]

I keep failing the lock out on the 5th rep

[BigBusiness]

What to do to improve your bench press depends on where you're failing in the range of motion. It's not a one size fits all type thing. You need to know whether your triceps or chest are the issue.

I've been stuck at 270 since January. I'm so pissed off

[eliasgarcia]

I’m stuck at 195 🙁 me and my brother started at the same time and eat the same thing and he hit 225 the other day while I went for 205 and couldn’t

[sackman]

I feel like I lost strength in the past month I was benching 405 for 2-3 reps, 365 for 5 reps and 315 for 10 reps I do those usually when I bench on my push workouts I noticed this week when I did bench I was going for 3 sets of 10 @ 315lbs I usually can hit 10 but I struggled I could barely get 8-7 reps. Would a deload week help me out? I haven't had a deload week in a long time or could it be my sleep? How do I lose strength like that so quick

[MM_]

I‘m stuck on 225 for 6 reps for the last 2 months. So frustrating it makes me want to hop on some stuff. I remember adding reps every training session for the first 2 years of training and now I kinda plateau on everything except for squats and deadlift…

[robbyrob]

I've been stuck at 280. I'm at the point of quitting the bench press for good.
