Yea a 5 pound increase on bench is difficult. You can do one of the following:
1) Add the 5 pounds and bench till failure and slowly work your way up, but make sure you have a spotter
2) Buy 1.25 pound weights (2 of them to make 2.5 pounds) and bring them with you to the gym
3) Switch to dumbbell bench for 2 weeks and go back to barbell bench.
4) Do negatives. Basically add more weight than you can bench and slowly bring it towards your chest and have your spotter help you lift it.


I personally chose option 3 because my chest is uneven and I feel my chest getting worked more.

Hey brutha, sorry for the l8 reply iv been sooo busy! yeh iv been doing option 1. for 5 weeks and i just dont think i can increase that much at a time any more. buying the 1.25lb sounds like a good idea i might try that after i switch around to the DB bench. If all else fails i might do the negatives with heavier weight. Thx for the input m8 .
