Bench

[Big Sexy J]

How can I get my bench up? Do I pause every rep? Heavy negatives? High rep low weights to trick the muscles?

take 5 lb weights and squeeze them as hard as you can, this strengthens the forearms and will help you to squeeze the bar like you're RIPPPPPPPPPPING it apart, and everyone knows this improves your bench press dramatically

[dakensta]

Set up a bar like you're going to clean and press, it with a bench behind where you will stand.
Clean the bar, but then, instead of pressing it, quickly fall back onto the bench and press it from there, as many times, and as quickly, as you can.
This will leave your pecs startled and confused, giving them no choice but to get stronger, so they're ready for you next time.
Make sure to only do this every 3-4 weeks or so, or else your pecs will catch on to what you're doing.
If you lift shirted, it might be a better idea to scare your triceps with surprise skull crushers instead.

sorry Sexy.
I'm having good results with a heavy triple, a double, then repeated singles, dropping the weight slowly.
my last bench session went like:
(warmup)
130x3
135x2
140x1
142.5x1
140x1
137.5x1
135x1
130x1
125x1
125x1

very little volume, but it's getting my strength up nicely.
(weights in kg btw)

I was going to suggest reactive bench pressing where you lay on a bench, and someone drops the weight on you (normally 150% - 200%), and you have to catch it and bench press it back up.

BUT dakensta has a way better exercise!

I have to spread reps, then I will back you back for being a bum hole.
