Bench a lot, do accessory work like tricep push downs and incline dumbell press, be patient and watch the numbers go up. Also don't be a pussy and actually push yourself hard
Just be consistent and try to hit chest atleast twice per week. Also dumbbell presses instead if you are not progressing at the bench. Lastly stop comparing yourself to others.
thank u fren
LITERALLY JUST FOLLOW THIS PROGRAM EXACTLY
do not do bench accessories unless you are moronic and have a super bad imbalance (strong chest, nonexistent tris etc.)
just make sure to eat a lot, drink a lot, and sleep a lot. tend to do more of these things than less if you are unsure and make sure not to bench on an empty stomach for max volume and intensity output. good luck anon!

sidenote about this program:
you can even drop the shoulder work on push days if all you literally care about is bench, I just put them in there for myself to maintain strength.
this is correct you need to keep training the movement and perfect your form, do not burnout the prime movers for bench press doing chest or tricep isolations so you can get the max bench volume per week (see program)
>Dumbbell presses instead
Shit advice if you want to get better at barbell bench do barbell bench. You can do DB as an accessory but you could also do bench variations like tempo work, Larsen presses, etc. No reason to stop benching because you're stalling
Push harder
how hard do I push tho?
Push until you feel like you're about to drop the weight on your chest, and the rep before that stop
U can frick around until 2 plates. Also ur probably like 150.
The "just add five bro" meme is not a meme. It's real
>225

SS + GOMAD.
Don't fall for the meme OP. This moronic combo gives you a dumptruck ass, acne, and sadness
and a 2pl8 bench for fahve.
>every bench session im pumped
>do 1 pl8 as a warmup
>expect it to feel more manageable than previous session
>it never does. It always feels like Im at my limit/past my limit
>pushed past it by doing more than 5 reps, though havent hit my max of 10 reps in like a month
>overall better than last session
I guess its getting better even if it has felt slow and plateaud. I do incline dumbbell as well as cable flys when possible but todays been the first time that it's felt like things are moving forward. Just wanted to share
