Okay i need some help.
My chest i starting to fall behind, not that it was ever ahead i have always had a weak chest. Anyways its been 3 months and i have not improved my bench press. Im at 185lbs a couple times.
i switched my chest workout, and im taking weight gainer to gain more mass....what else should i do?
its getting extremely frustrating when my buddies chests are continuing to improve and they have gone on to 195lbs,205lbs,215lbs etc. and im stuck at 185lbs....

start training chest with dumbells for awhile, that should bring your bench up.

ya try some new ****. try some dumbbells you can hit more parts of your chest because u have more motion and u can try a bunch of diff type presses
but ya switch up ur routines every 6-8 weeks or soIf you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them - Bruce Lee

I have the same problem. People say tall people have a more difficult time building strong chests. Just keep working hard.

I found a great solution, you should do like 1 heavy week with all lifts, then next week go light, next week probly max out or do negatives then next week do 1 bench pyramid which consists of 120 reps.. i got great results off of it doing it twice, my max was like 285 maybe 290 and yesturday i did 275 twice almost 3 times for the first time... it goes like 15,14,13,12,11.....3,2,1 its alot of reps but it builds alot of endurance and trust me start light, i start at 115 and finish it so next time ill rpobly do 125 lolOriginally Posted by Mapleleafs1993
