How to Bench Press 225 Pounds for Reps (5 Simple Tips)

If you’ve been working out for any length of time, you’ve probably been asked “how much you bench?” The truth is, most guys should be able to lift much more weight on the bench press than they are right now. Due to their technique and programming, however, they remain stuck and unable to progress.

In this video, I’m going to share the top 5 science based tips to build a bigger bench press. If you watch til the end, you should have no problem adding weight to the bar and hitting new PR's regularly.

Your tip on pretending that you are holding a pencil between your shoulder blades helped me lift 225 for the first time in my life. I am 48 and this is my son’s channel. I just wanted to thank you. Keep up the great videos and tips.

I got incredibly strong with benching 3 times per week, same with squats

Always love the contrast between the "doing it the right way" guy and the guy in blue and white spazzing during every exercise. He is such an unsung hero .

Always helpful, always insightful. For as jacked as my former trainer was, he never had us do barbell bench. I later found out (after firing him) that was bc he over bro’d it and wound up injuring his shoulder on BB Bench. Smh. Thanks as always. Look forward to mass gains on the bench

Yeah love you guys, you've become my favourite fitness channel ❤️

I am 75 and have been working out for 62 years. I have pretty serious shoulder issues now that just started a couple of years ago. I have had a good run 😁! I am posting because I have switched to a similar routine. Mine is doing 10-8-6 one wo then 12-10-8 next wo and last 15-12-10 then repeat the cycle. Hope that helps any one having shoulder problems. Lifting heavy for me is a thing of the past so I am compensating to maintain. GL.

Can you make a video like this for squats ?

Its called retracting the scapula... mind muscle connection/time under tension... quality over quantity...

So John Meadows (may he rest in peace) suggests 3 warm up sets and 2 hard sets of 8. If going for strength do one rep per set as you get up to your max and then you have the energy to push up with maximum muscle fiber activation for maximum growth. I am 52 and I can say I have been gaining 5 lbs bench press for the last 8 weeks (180) today by just doing 40-50 empty bar to get muscle activation then 3 reps at 135 1 rep at 155 1 rep at 175 then pushing to the 180 I did today. I then go down by 10 lbs 1 rep till I bet back to 135 do 5 reps then empty bar for another 50 reps. 4-5 minute breaks in between. Everybody grows different so this in anecdotal for me but so far so good. Also i bench 2x a week (noob gains in gym 8 months) had not been in a gym for 25 years previous.

[romeparker]

Quick question? My shoulders are a lil tweaked which makes it harder to feel my chest. What should I do for chest?
