All about bench pressing

Anyone on here bench press? I weigh about 195 and have been repping with 190 (8x3). Not sure what my max one rep is. Anyhow I have seemed to plateau around this weight and struggle completing my 8x3 workouts at 195. Any advice on how to get over this plateau?

I'm not a great bench presser, but my tips would be:
  1. If you're looking to increase strength rather than body build, 3 sets of 5 reps is better than doing sets of 8.
  2. Micro load once you stop progressing. I've heard of people getting individual chain links from hardware stores, but I just bought a pair of 1 pound wrist weights from Amazon and I put them on the bar to make the incremental increases smaller.
  3. Get a form check online - video yourself and post it on any one of the "check my form" subsections of fitness forums, you generally get pretty good technique advice. For a lot of people I think technique is the limiting factor.
  4. Obvious, but make sure you're eating right, getting enough sleep and not overtraining.

LOL, I used to lift alot. I had the pecs. Now I think it ws stupid. Some girls like muscles yes. But it's the size and shape that determines that. Most don't like huge muscles on a guy

Meh.. I have been married and 13 and don't care what chicks.are into. I am a physique competitor so I look more athletic I guess. I dont care about size as much as having the road map looking arms although my wife hates when I get real lean and vascular. I look great and get to torment her so it is a win win

I've been using dumbells pretty exclusively since I stopped powerlifting 3 years ago. No point in barbell benching if your not competing in a event or being tested for football. Build a better chess with dumbells and lots of fly movements, which is what the pec is designed to do (bring humurus bone across the body).

That being said my max bench is 265 x 3. No spot and false grip. Afraid to go higher as when I normally work chest no one is around to spot.

I’m 45 and a trainer pt and what worked for me was good nutrition with two days a week hitting it. As a 6’3 205lb with long arms at 30 years old got 225lns 34 times and 4-5lb max. The secret was two times a week drink creative before and throughout workout. Set of 10 with just the bar. Then put 135lb ND DO A SET OF 10. THEN FIND A CHALLENGIMG WEIGJT you can only do 12-15 reps. I liked putting the 225lb on because that’s what they use at the combine. Once you finish with that said move over to a one rep max so a nice long warm up rest for a couple minutes do it 225 max as many times as you can and then move over to a one rep max do this two times a week great creatine and you’ll see huge improvement within a year

My bench has suffered greatly since all this covid shit started. With they gym closing for two months at the beginning of it and fighting off injuries I am nowhere near where I used to be.

Lately on a good day I can put up 265lb x3. Before the pandemic I was up to 310lb.

Home gym for me. Still putting up 315 X 6 on heavy day at 46 yrs old.

My 15 yr old son got 240 up the other day. He started lifting with me just over a year ago.

I am a month away from 47. Shoulder and back injuries are killing me. I will get in a good groove at the gym and then all of a sudden one of my herniated disks will flare up doing something not related to actual lifting such as putting a 25lb plate on the bar and I will be out for 2-3 weeks.

Truth, unless you're a football player or something of that nature it just wears out your joints. Calisthenics and running are the way to go.

As long as I can still bench press an escort 9-10 times until I cum that's all I need.

Use a multigrip bar instead. Puts the angles the right way so it doesn't stress your shoulders.

I mostly use dumbbells anyway.

Proper form prevents a tremendous amount of the stress on shoulders. So many people use shitty to poor form when benching.
