Build up your tricep and lat strength.. they can do a lot for your bench.

You need to kick both of their asses.. or fake a seizure.

Actually.. it does.

Quads, hams, hips, the entire back, shoulders, forearms... :)

Overall, that's roughly 18 lbs of bodyweight per inch, so it sounds pretty close to the rule of thumb 20 lbs of bodymass per inch on arms...

The underlying Brachialis muscle has a significant effect on peak, IMO.

A strength plateau? Low rep work, improve tricep strength, explosiveness (speed bench), etc.

Seriously.. why not just max out?

It takes some focus to do an actual 1RM in an explosive lift :)

The two of you should just fight and see what happens.

Do you hit legs once a week? When I started squatting twice a week, it decreased soreness and improved gains... food for thought.

Try new exercises/variations.. change up the weekly schedule.. try lower reps or higher reps part of the time. Variety

And it helps if you have stuff going on that makes you really mad. Then...

One of the greatest ego-busters in the gym. Great exercise...

Sounds normal to me other than the pain when you round your back. Try not to round it on purpose and that should go away, per my experience, anyway. Welcome to deadlifting :D

Stop it.

I never feel SLDLs in the hams when I'm doing them, but they definitely get sore and stronger.

I suggest cutting out pressing movements for a week or so. I think light pressing is ok and even beneficial, but nothing too intense until your RCs are in better shape. IMO

Chest first.. but I like to do dips among the bench press variations because it's a compound move

Attaboy :)

I wouldn't recommend doing the same muscle group twice in a day.

I can't believe it's not butter.
