Hello fellow bbs!
I've been doing the max ot for around 2 months now and got some pretty decent gains in squats and deadlifts! however my bench press really sucks! I always hit my chest hard but i'm not getting any gains.
currently doing chest one a week, incline db 3x6(80lbs),flat db 3x6(80lbs),decline bb 1x6(185lbs).
hope you guy can help me out
thanks

theres nothing wrong with your bench, if anything your deadlift should be higher compared to your squat. We basically have the same stats.

Vids of squat please? Seems odd that it's higher than your deadlift.
And if you wanna add weight on a lift, lower volume + higher frequency = easiestBest lifts to date/goals by July 2013 (ALL RAW)
Squat: 200kgx1 /200kgx1 (goal achieved)
Bench: 120kgx1 / 130kgx1, 102.5kgx15
Deadlift: 235kg x 1/ 240kgx1
OHP: 80kg x1/ 90kgx1

That's pretty normal.
If you have longer limbs you're squat and bench will be weaker in proportion to your deadlift.
I deadlift 405+, and I barely bench 80lb DBs.Maxes at end of pyramid sets
Dead: 405x5
DB bench: 80x5
ATG Squat: 315
Chinups with 45lb weight: 6
6'-150lbs

I didnt make the thread to talk about my deadlift! Actually i started deadlifting in august last year with 135lbs and it was hard as ****, so to go from 135 to 325 in 6 months its pretty good .
I actually wanted help to improve my bench press !
