Unlock Your Two Plate Bench Press With These Tips

Help me make more cheesy content:

One of the most popular arbitrary "standard" for measuring strength, especially for men, is being able to finally nail that two plate bench press. A solid 225 pounds on the bar, it looks especially beautiful knowing that you're slapping two on each side of the heaviest weight plates found in most gyms (just don't get lost in a powerlifting gym with even heavier plates or you're going to feel weak again). Arbitrary or not, this is a feat that anyone can be happy to say that have completed. And if you're looking to finally get to that milestone yourself, then in this video, we're going to learn all the best strategies to get you there in no time! #strength #fitness #powerlifting

Step one: Eat until you weight >350 lbs.

cheers broski, bout to hit 315 today (i cant bench the bar)

[marckspal]

1. Progressive overload over time.
2. Rest at least 3-5 min between sets, more time (7-10 min) for your last set.
4. Learn 'how' to eat... Then, eat lot!
5. Do rotator strengthening exercises 3-4 times/week
6. Use a wide bench (better for shoulders) if available.
7. Build stronger triceps.
8. Be patient.

Rinse & repeat!

Benched 315 for the first time yesterday and almost died. Good luck bros

[Anthony_BTV]

Current bench is 110lbs but going for 115 maybe even 120 today

[TheReecesl]

I raised my max by 20% in one day by warming up my back before a bench, absolute game changer.

For everyone saying they’re insecure about their bench, when I started I could hardly bench 65lbs for 10 reps (18 y/o, 120 bw) I would go to the gym at like 2am to avoid judgement however I progressed rather quickly and am now able to do 125 for 8 reps on a good day and my max is 135 for 3 reps (I’m now 135bw) I also realize that no one gives a crap about what weight your lifting and it’s all in your head, a lot of people I’ve met at the gym respect the grind and would never judge you. Long story short no one cares what your bench is.

Forgot to mention I’ve been going to the gym for 7.5 months

Leaving a nice comment so that I can reach a two-plate bench press

[JoshPitts]

I just hit 200 for three reps and 185 for five reps. I’m so close. By the end of summer, I’d like to hit 225 for five reps and stay there as a working weight awhile until I get 15.

[TrashPandaGarageYT]

LOL took me a year to hit 145 and I can only rep 135 like 4 maybe 5 times but I have been on cut for a year and lost 75lbs. Cant wait till I can start a small bulk to see what I can do.

You should make a video on electrolytes and intra workout nutrition!

[walrusmaximus]

Im insecure about my bench progress. Im currently benching 155 lbs (55 lbs each side + 45 lbs bar). However, im 30 y.o. and didn't start training until i was 25 y.o. and covid slowed be down for 2 years. So with that in mind, im trying to be kinder to myself.

[smithjason]

The best advice: Do it as early as possible. Young people can get there much much much faster.

[Dimensiom]

I was up to 185 and struggling to get heavier when I injured my wrist. Now I have to find alternate exercies (I can still dumbbell and cable press) until that clears up.

Lmao 5:09 this whole segment had me crying 😂 great job 👏🏽

[Major.Tom.]

5:08 i hope you recover soon man, and your voiceovers are super helpful 🙌🏻🙏🏻

[deejayy]

I remember when I was impressed by 225. 10 years later I’m hitting 405

[smashboy]

I’m at 1 plate+ a 25! 160lbs! I’m on my way!

[mikerotchburns]

A lot of gym bros underestimate how important eating is. You can reach 225 without tracking macros, but you're going to be leaving gains on the table if your diet is unbalanced.
