| | | Bench press is a movement that requires stength from the core chest and triceps. Try changing your grip and elbow position to where you can bench the highest weight. Im guessing this is for a competition with friends or something?
Working in a very low rep range like 1 - 3 is bound to bring your bench up especially if you are new to training. Although some wouldnt recomend it you will get huge neuromuscular adaptation fast. |

| | | Diet is also very important, You won't get much stronger with a crappy diet.
You need to eat slightly more than your body needs, i.e eat to gain weight, and follow a proper diet. |

| | | you also should work your entire body, and at least your upper back. a weak upper back can't help to support your bench. |

| | I had a similar problem only like 2 months ago, i was moaning because my bench wasnt increasing. I stuck to a reasonable diet, and i kept doing my routine as usual (working all muscles).
I started doing things like skull crushers, and iv noticed my bench has started to improve. I think the main thing was i was impatient, gotta give it time! Keep doing OH pressing etc etc
Also when benching bring the bar down to the bottom of your chest, not your nipples. I started doing this a while ago and there is less distance to press, making it easier |
