Hey everyone. I've been lifting consistently for the past 4.5 years. For the first 3 years I mostly focused on incline bench (barbell), and only started adding flat bench (barbell) after that.

Currently I'm at 120 kg for 3x8 on incline, but only 132.5 kg for 3x8 on flat. From what I've seen, the gap between incline and flat is usually much bigger than that. Any idea why mine might be so small, and how I could improve my flat bench specifically? My BW is 87 kg at the moment and I'm cautious of my technique (controlled negatives and slight pauses at the end of every rep with a long pause at the end of my last rep, leg drive and slight arc)

I'm happy with my incline numbers, just looking to get relatively stronger on flat as well.

Hello everyone! I recently took my B2 speaking and listening exams, and I’m currently waiting for the results. I’m feeling a little nervous and keep wondering whether I passed.

The listening exam went really well, so I’m fairly confident about that part. However, I’m less sure about the speaking exam. I’d love to hear about your experiences: How did your speaking exam go, what result did you get, and do you have any tips or advice to share?
