    (OP)
    Just fricking bench more. Vary doing heavy weight and many reps, but really if you properly hit your chest and eat enough you will make it.

        Nope. At the end of this training cycle for sure though.

        Not OP but I can't do a single weightless dip safely. I tried getting into it before and could do 2, 3 or 4 but could feel my shoulders were getting really strained and fricked basically telling me to stop this shit.

        Are you retracting your scapulae? Your shoulders should be packed until the very bottom portion where you have to go below your elbows. Then the second you're far enough up in the concentric you re-pack them.
        If you still can't do it without pain, get some olympic rings and practice the support hold and RTO support hold positions

        I could do 75kg for 5 but, it's going down

        How have your diet, sleep, bodyweight, and training changed since then?

          >How have your diet, sleep, bodyweight, and training changed since then

          I'm eating more now, I actually hit 75kg at matinence, I'm sleeping more now too. Training as of today is GZCLP.

          My squat is 150kg
          My deadlift is 160kg
          My overhead press is 55kg
          My bench press is 70kg (and going down)

          I am willing to abandon my squats, and minimise my deadlifting in order to improve my upper body strength.

          Thanks for asking by the way

            Ok, that helps. What are your upper body T2s and T3s and where do you fail in the bench?
            Also what does your setup look like?

      Yeah you need more pushing work. I'd suggest swapping your T2s so that your split looks more like U/L (so squat as T2 for diddly and diddly as T2 for squat). Then do incline bench as T2 for flat, do close grip as T2 for OHP, and add bodyweight dips as a second T2 exercise (just do 3xAMRAP) superset with your T3 pull.
      For T3s, I find flys/crossovers work really well to build a bigger (and stronger) chest so I'd move the curls to leg days and swap them with whatever fly variant you want. If that still doesn't help try subbing skullcrushers for lying tricep extensions like in this vid from back when Rip gave good advice

    Cool. Now do 70kg for 5 sets of 10. Once you get at least 10 reps for the first 3 sets add 5lbs. And if you arent pausing at the bottom of each rep, start. Do this 2x/week, and eat to grow. Repeat forever. This will get you quality mass (this is not powerlifting strengthmaxxing advice)
