My bench press is very very poor. i am sure 15 year old's can bench what i can bench. when i go to the gym i usually bwench like 30 kgs on each side, with this weight i can do about 3-4 by myself. i think that is terrible considering first years at college (16 year olds) are benching 40 kg's each side i feel like an assclown.
how can i improve my bench press. doesnt seem to have improved for ages.

i have another topic on my diet, u will see it is poor.
my routine is flat bench, inlcine bench, then either flies or pec dec or cable crossovers. might do 2 of those though.
my other exercises are also kinda lower then what i used to be able to do. e.g. could lift 24's for db, now i can only do 20's for 10 reps each arm.
lat pulldowns, could do 88 kg's now can only do 65-70Stats

i weigh 200 and i bench 450,like everyone else here. only thing to get you that strong is drinking protein shakes made of raw eggs and cockroaches. oh yeah, working your ass off in the gym will also help a lil bit

It is without question because of your diet. Fix it, if you EVER feel like being anything related to a lifter. Strawberry fruit bars don't count as breakfast.

What does your tricep workout look like? Triceps play a big part in benching. So do shoulders.

He said 30 kgs each side, which is about 170 pounds, not 220
220 would be accurate for his comparison. He can only bench 170-180, which is about 30 kgs.

Powerlift. Check out the powerlifting board, FortifiedIron.com, and do some reading up on Westside Barbell Training.Originally posted by BigPoopaPump

I didn't even see the thing about the diet. Get that in check and you might actually see some good gains.Originally posted by nateakabear
