I never commented but I wanted to say thank you. I ran your program without deviating for 8 months in 2021, surpassed my initial goal of 315. Went from a sloppy max of 215 to 335 paused. Bodyweight unintentionally went from 178 to 206 by eating whatever I wanted in that time frame but the one thing I thought was interesting was how in sync you feel with your body during bench pressing once you start benching 3x a week. Highly recommend the routine to everyone if you’re looking to increase your bench press in a short duration.
@@cryptosir2025 Because people don't care at all what others lift, why should they. He is strong in the bench yeah, but he looks like a toothpick. It is the only reason it is impressive really. I am 225 lbs at 6'0 and reps 315 for 6 on the incline bench, I don't do flat at all, because I lift for mass. Flat and decline won't build a solid full chest. You will lack upper chest. Flat bench is better for triceps with closer grip, than it is for chest growth.
315 to 330 for 5 in a couple weeks is a huge jump already... I suspect your max has already gone up if you test it without doing a 5-rep max effort like that. The fact you did 370 that easily after 330 for 5 says a lot too about your true max.
It is great you have a gym where you have members who are their to train and not just walk and talk and watch everyone else work out. It is ok to catch a look at someone who is pushing weight if you look in the mirror. I see too many older guys at my gym who are their to hang out and not work out. That is what the Rec center at a retirement community is for.
Long, Im happy you're getting that strength again, you look stronger than ever, your new videos are one of the best part of my days, keep it up, you're my inspiration 👏
collin weng posted a prank inside of a commercial gym for bench. that "challenge/prank" would be great for you to do since your weight/strength ratio is insane
tell your boy crocks and bench pressing CAN NOT go together lol. i’ve seen some of your videos years ago. glad your still doing your thing man. strong as hell!
It's nice to see you're finally implementing progressive overload on your training. Always wondered how much you could do for 3 and 5 reps. Good luck on hitting 405 again!
I thought that I was strong for my size when I got 295 at 155lbs. You make the old me feel unaccomplished. The only lift that I could turn heads with was a weighted dip.... Hanging 3 plates and a quarter for sets of 8 is impressive until you realize that being lighter is an advantage for dips! lol
@@Brey Interesting, thanks for the quick reply!! I started working out 10 months ago and my OHP feels WAY weaker than bench. I'm at 40 kg / 88 lbs 3-4 reps at most with 1,89m / 77 kg. I only have 40 kg for bench as well at home atm, but if our man does more than double that weight on the bench, this motivates me to purchase more plates! :) Still can't wrap my head around how he does it. He's a nephilim giant haha!
Yes sir, I am hitting that every session. Fridays have always been the toughest and Mondays have always been the easiest. The weekend off period helps, but I found benching only 2 days a week doesn’t help so it’s a fine balance imo. MWF benching has worked best for me.
@@steved8567 yea that’s funny. I mean if I move up in weight for the first time, 96% is the hardest but when I do it again next week, I typically complete it and usually fail on the second 86%. I think it’s probably cuz I get so gassed pushing almost my max… maybe I need more rest between the sets? Idk lol
@@OhmegadJT Yeah, strange, the 5 and 3 rep sets are usually the easiest for me... With my 86% I can normally squeeze out an extra rep. I take about 4 minute rests between sets... especially the heavier ones.
Everyday is different brother. I usually find the triples hardest. When you’re having an extra hard day (you’ll know based on how the sets/reps move), take an extra minute; it works!
*B/c of this vid I’m literally going to add 2.5 lbs plates onto every set today!* *Question: At this gym, you’re always on the same bench; Is there a reason you don’t use the other ones? Just curious.* *Thanks for another great vid.*
Hi Katelyn, all 3 benches are the same at this gym. I just go to the one that’s open or becomes first available when I get there. Good question though, there are bars that I tend to avoid. Some of them spin more than others which is dangerous for benching and especially dangerous for anyone benching fast. Thanks for another great comment 🙏
Do you guys want the body which looks like can lift 300 pounds but actually lift 100 pounds; Or his body looks like can only lift 100 pounds but actually 300 pounds
first time seeing video from you channel your strong as fuck also I might be wrong or right this the gym some of the delray misfit guys train at anyway keep up the good work
Regular portion sizes, 3 meals a day, little to no snacking between meals. All is fair game except for pizza, soda/energy drinks and deep fried foods. I don’t track calories or protein or anything. No supplements or shakes or anything. Just plain ol food.
I have just come across this channel. I am sure this has been asked a gazillion times before, but whats the reason the channel owner does not squat or deadlift?
Did a lighter mid week workout and finally hit 275 x 6 today. Not sure if it was an anomaly but will not push so hard during middle of week to see if I can keep gaining strength.
Okay I knew I’ve seen you before I will say I am the same weight as you 69.4kg and I bench 270(123kg roughly) I’m training to hit 315 by the end of the year and my dream bench is 410 I was wondering (I’m only 21) if there’s any advice to be given or like how you achieved the strength you have
You’re definitely on your way there, Tyler! Only advice I can give is to stay consistent, stay injury free and follow a good program that works for you. You may need to try a few out before figuring out what your body responds best to. Good luck!
Bro if you could help me I would greatly appreciate it. For some reason I switched gyms and I’ve been having a horrible time trying to keep my shoulder blades retracted in these new benches idk why. Any suggestions on fixing that ?
Sorry Isaiah, not something I can help with virtually. I’d have to lay down on it and see what I can come up with before trying to advise you on it. Maybe try to grab a personal trainer there for advice?
He doesnt train deadlift and he only squats sometimes lightly. He has been benching big numbers since highschool? And winning competitions its safe to say hes natural. He doesnt compete and is over 30, has a family. Theres no incentive to take PED's
@@Robin-hv5tv most were on peds in high school. Still suspicious. Usually 140 to 150kg is a 1 rep max for majority of peak naturals. 120 to 130kg is usually where it stops for reps. For this guys body weight I don't honestly believe it.
