160kg (353lbs) at 80kg (176lbs)

Wrapped up and went for the 2x bw bench

Is this technique good?

I just wanted to add 1.8kgs each side to my PR for fun and I happened to clip it.

It is one of my cleanest bench.

I feel like my leg drive is lacking though.

Bench progress

My coach challenged me to hit 100kg after 2 months using Upper day 3 times/week \[because he thinks UL split (which is what i do) is inferior to bro split\]

So i wanted how long it took some to increase a rep and hit the goal.

I'm 18yo 175cm 75kg M training for 3 years my bench so far is 80×3 (ik it sucks and i must likely suck as well)

Is this form acceptable for a one rep max?

Hit this 315 a little while ago at 187 lbs bodyweight, but questioning if the form was good enough to properly call it my max. Would appreciate a second pair of eyes

I think I'm fucked

I never get 100g of protein, I'm at 60kg body weight( 5'7" so I think that should be reasonable)

and I was stuck at 70kgs for months, suddenly I progressed from 70 to 85x2 after benching at least twice a week.

I believe I will again be stuck at 90kgs for months.

Also can anyone tell me where I can find a proper plan?

Help progressing towards 180-200 kg

I’m a 197cm, 110 kg man who’s been working out regularly (more or less) for a bit over ten years.

For the last two years I’ve been training pretty regularly, maybe four times a week on a push/pull split. The only lift that I track is my bench, and I haven’t seen much progression for the last year (my max has gone from like 160 kg to 170 kg maybe).

I’m looking for advice on how to progress to 180-200.

I’ve attached my bench workouts (weight: reps, reps). After training flat bench I usually go for incline bench/dumbbell, maybe flies and then shoulders/triceps.

Advice on my bench press

Hi there! I feel like my butt is lifting off too much? Or is my form alright? Any advice? Also I feel like I am progressing so so so slowly with my bench…. Any advice on how to go up in weight? I train chest 2x a week (I gym 6x a week)

PR of 505lb

Would be 🔴🔴🔴 for downward motion but I also didn’t pause it and it wasn’t in a competition setting, so I’m taking it as a win.

Looking for a program to increase reps

170lb M, 36yo

Haven't maxed in quite a while, but I'm guessing it's around 285 these days.

I'm looking for a program to increase the number of reps I can hit at 135lbs. I've got a little multi sport competition amongst friends in 8 weeks and max reps at 135 is one of the events. I've tried a few times now and I'm getting sets of around 30. I thought that was alright until I found out some of the other guys are hitting 50+. What can I do to increase my reps over the next 2 months?
