Should the 5×5 be to falure each set?
i already rep 225 the problem is i cant get past 290 💀
You mean 315?
try 5×3 one day 3 day rest 5×5 same weight 2nd day
next week increase weight 5×3 3 day rest
5×5 same weight weight 2nd day
increased my bench weight weekly 5lbs-10lbs
I got to 225 for 3 reps a few months ago but I stopped going to the gym for a bit, now I’m stuck at 225 X 1 🙁 trynna get it back
7sets of 4-5reps (five at the very most) on the bench, three times a week, has absolutely blown up my chest and strength. Plug absolutely have to be resting for a perfect 8 hours each night and eating right, to do this and recover, though.
Is 185 at 15yr at 130 bw good?
Dont only stick in the low rep range, mixing in some higher reps with slow and controlled form, (pausing at the bottom, slow during the eccentric) 8-12 reps, will help you build up the muscles used for bench press and contribute to better form during that 5×5. Also make sure to get your back super strong!
I have on tip. Go to the gym…i mean go to the gym. Spend time benchihg. Everything takes patience. Any tips thaf promose "skyrocketing in no time l" is false. Put in work. 1 year 2 years 3 years. Put in work. 225 aint sht.
THIS GUY GETS IT. IVE BEEN LOOKIN FOR THIS TIP FOR EONS LOL
weighted dips
I bench 335, and the most important advice i can give is sleep. You need at least 8 hours of rest to recover and to be at 100% strength. If your sleep is low, you risk injury and your recovery will suck.
Thank u

Pause reps, change rep ranges, changing to different variation like dumbbells, start doing accessories for the lift you wanna improve, or add a set/ increase volume
been stuck at 75kg for a while gave up on 5×5 after not progressing anymore
I’ve always done pause reps and I bench 290 now lol
Step one learn to bench properly. Step 2 add 5 pounds a workout. Step 3 bench 225.
i just hit 365 last week hoping for 405 in early next year 💯
Bench press is such a key exercise for building upper body strength. Thanks for the insight!
Great tips on increasing bench press strength. I'm definitely going to implement some of these strategies in my next workout.
bro trynna kll us
Alright so find a weight that I can do 5×5 but also be able to pause? The weird about my body is that If I bench lower than usual, my stremgth goes down
For example, I do 200 for 5 reps but if I practice 185 for 5×5 with pause reps. For some teason when I try 200lbs I literally wont be able to
I'm 150lbs, bench 225 and am working my way to 300lbs(hopefully) been doing these tips since i got back into the gym after several years of being lazy.
That stretch at the bottom gives a crazy stretch to the pecs.
I’m just saying to everyone here, strength is very relative to your body weight
I do 65 pounds max rep.
I know, I'm amazing
Wow I benched 245 kilos or 540 lbs. in 1981 a record that still stands can you give me a tip? Oh no bench shirts or gizmos only me and a Tee shirt
How should I incorporate the pause reps in the 5×5?
Build your triceps and delts first. They do most of the work
ngl bro i can only do 135 for 2 reps and I'm disappointed its been like this for weeks
What about 405?
When I do heavy weight it hurts th back of my head
Best set is actually 1rep 12 sets
178 can only bench 205
My friends 14 and does 235 on god. Tryna get like him my max is 120 I think
Another tip I’ll add here that helped me at least was adding in incline work to my bench
I am going to buy it in this sale also @12th birthday sale I’ll get one golden scoop #muscleblaze #12yearsofzidd #goldenscoop ❤️🙌🏻 @muscleblaze ✅
