[trainlikeafr3ak]

Na if you are going to start your powerlifting career, or just wanna get a stronger bench, just bench then. And locate your weakness and hit it with your post bench stuff, whether it is triceps pecs or shoulders.

It's when you get jacked and tan. Very jacked and tan.

This is usually accomplished through a wide variety of exotic isolation exercises that target the chesticles.

dumbells dont help my barbell

[WoollyMammoth]

No **** DB bench presses are far better than barbell. and 30 degree incline DB bench is the best of them all.

however u should probably mix it up every now and then

The reason people are being dicks is because what you mentioned is complete garbage for powerlifting. It resembles more of a bodybuilding split than a powerlifting routine. Also bodybuilders have "chest days", Powerlifters have bench days. Also you have your arm and chest size in your signature... which indicates you are more concerned about size than strength.

And yes dumbell bench can help get your bench higher, but so can tricep pushdowns and lateral raises... doesn't mean you should base a workout around them.

[A_Hard_Rain]

do barbell bench to get your barbell bench stronger

still do db work for accessory work though

[Born2Ride]

Lee Hayward is a powerlifting coach and he even incorporates push ups in his workouts..Yes,concentrate on bench for the most part,but heavy DB press,dips and reverse flys are going to raise your bench numbers!
