This is how to get strong on bench press | Mike Rashid 

Mike is just a straight up good dude. Character shines through.

I would be absolutely done after those incline sets. When Mike side, "ight now we ready for the flat bench." My heart went out to that mans triceps and chest.

Good dialogue in between sets to help him recover, very smooth. Mike is the Truth!

Mike has done it all. Most of what I’ve been doing, I learned from Mikes videos. From supersets, hitting a 100 reps, benching with bands, pyramids etc. Always getting that stupid pump. So great to learn from one of the best in the game. Ez money baby👊🏻

That gym is spaced out perfectly. At my gym you can't even rack the weight without bumping into someone

Mike says he's pretty good at gauging how much someone could do. Man he is right. I just knew that jump to 2 plates and a quarter was gon be too much, but he was on point.

He's a natural dude. Can't handle that volume, g😂

Man! Mike Rashid is so impressive. Such a a good communicator.

Went from 300lbs too 226lbs in 8 months and when i tell you Mike Rashid deserves a lot of credit form education and motivation.!! Thanks Mike.!! Keep doing what you doing God bless.

Mike never gets excited about anything he's so relaxed

Mike literally destroys him with incline and then he like "Now you can hit the flat bench" 🤯

Mike, I appreciate this video. I'm guilty of having a drastic change in my weight when declining, that's partly due to the fact that I usually train alone so I don't push myself as hard, nor have a spotter to catch me when going to failure. After watching this, I fully understand to benefit of going to failure. Please keep doing what you're doing and continue to share.

Man I Fricken dig this video... Thank you for posting. I appreciate you bruh. How you motivate others and keep them engaged is amazing. Aloha

13:16-14:07 definitely jewels of lifting. Imma utilize this method.

Thanks for the tip on incline press. Gotta strengthen my upper body!

Sir Rashid thanks for the K.I.S.S approach. I like how you break it down. I'm a 42 yr old truck driver trying to get back in it. Your vids are very informative and inspiring. Continued blessings sir and thanks for taking the time to reach back and help the next one. Props to you

I've noticed when Mike is sharing information about lifting weights he's extremely passionate, that's how you know a person loves what they do..

Mike Rashid = class act

I got a pump just from watching this. That dude kept up, salute to him cause that was intense

Been off for a year I used to follow Mike all the time, just got my motivation back!! Mike you got a great style of lifting! ISYMFS!!!!

I seriously just learned something. Trying this new strategy tomorrow. Thanks

Who else is gonna be on that incline bench grind for a couple weeks? At least no one uses the incline at my gym!

This guy is probably one of the best trainers I've seen in awhile. He actually guides you through conversation. Good shit!

I m doing my sets right now and Thank you for Da motivation💪💪

My man, thank you very much for ur videos and the knowledge you share with us. Big up, straight from Honduras. ✌🏽

I appreciate the insight taking him through the set, Rashid. Thank you, sir. Bless you.

I've always admired Mikes humble and educational way of teaching, definitely one of the top 3 humans on earth I would love to train with.

Gotta love Mike Rashid. Props and continued success to you

Mike is no joke the best trainer I’ve ever seen.. pushes people way past what they think their limits are and you can see this guy he’s training is excited

This was just in the nick of time I was going to build my strength back up on my chest. Thanks for the gems Mike

No workout video has ever made this much SENSE!!

Mike your the man been watching you for like 5 years

Mike you def one of the best to do it because you keep that shit simple to understand and you know the work first hand

Just continue to shine the light of positivity, and keep up the great work of inspiration and motivation my brother. May The Most High Continue to bless you and keep you. Jah love.

Thanks for the video bro much respect alot of knowledge and jewels in this I will be Implementing to my workout

Thanks Mike for showing how to do a perfect incline.Im always motivated after watching your content .

Mike Rashid is the man...good strategy on incline press, I'm tryna up my strength on bench too...#respect 💪🏽💯

Nice video! I watched it all the way through & going to do it tomorrow/forever to get stronger on bench. Hell yea!

Wow.. This was sooo darn helpful. I love Mike Rashid. Good dude man.

I've definitely learned something new today. I'm a vet in the gym but always open to learn.. thanks for the great explanations Mike.

I’ve been following your workout plan, I’m seeing results already. I’m so happy 😁 finally my muscles are popping lol.

Mike stretching, I'm hearing that without it growth can be a struggle, I have not seen you do much on the advantages & disadvantages of stretching. Thanks for consistently adding value.

cant wait to do that incline routine next time in the gym

How you practice is how you will play!!! I LOVE it!!!!!!

Good teaching mike, most of what you were teaching has been instinct for me especially were you told him to train at the 5 on the decrease till he couldnt get 5. I did that without anyone telling me.

Mike has just become my go to for motivation lol. You seem like an awesome guy. GOD Bless you sir.

Would be nice to have more trainers that know the work and who they’re working with like mike does. Good job

Mike Rashid is a straight up Boss. Keep inspiring millions bro 💯🙏🏽

Mike, i just want to say thank you for your overtraining method. It works. Im alot stronger thanks to you.

That was the best spotting I’ve ever seen.

People gonna be hogging the incline press in all gyms after this

Thanks bro. Really appreciate the strictly incline tip for a few months, to increase bench press.

Love this video Mike. The K.I.S.S. method is awesome and just what I needed to here today. Definitely a fan.

Mike's videos are always informative. Gives me new things to try when i work out. When i do incline i work with dumbbells bc of my shoulder issue. Flat and decline i use the barbell. I use resistance bands too. Those help alot too...he right when he talks about going to failure.

Just applied your knowledge to my chest workout today & damn even surprised myself on how strong my incline can be when applying your methods & strategies ! Thanks OG keep grinding !

Love this style so many of these powerlifting guys are always talking about like just doing all these straight sets and making it look easy maybe that works for them but I’ve never been able to get stronger unless I was training like this to failure and pushing myself every work out!

I'm training a up and coming female power lifter and she never did incline. I had to school her on these inclines. Doing them is harder then flat bench I been doing them for years. Thanks Mike for confirmation.

This is the exact training that I need , the process & all of the intracacies, You want to understand what you are doing and why, you need to know what to expect, when you train in a certain way, I get that with Mike, I appreciate you!

Learn a lot from Mike! Def going to try this out and all the tips hit gave throughout the video! Keep inspiring !

I can't believe I didn't know Mike before, man, I've started to follow him a couple weeks ago and I've learned so much already, man!

@mike rashid thanks for all the tips love watching your videos bro and @mike o’Hearn

Mike is the truth tho I've been following him for years he will make you grow...

Dude getting money Respect. Mike the best spotter I've ever seen. He lets u get yuh money. 👊🏿👊🏿

Mike rashid always on Point ! Surely gotta be one of the best for vidz and advice 4sure👍🏿🙏🏿

I love your videos bro . U seem real humble and real. Im following everything you suggest.

Solid trainer, spot on,good job, big Mike God bless my boy 💪

Great information provided this will change the way i bench now.

Great workout! I can't wait to get to the gym

Just waiting for that one blessed day to be picked to do a whole boxing training session and weight training session wit Mike . Dope video 💯🙏🏽

Wow. This really blew my mind on how mike Rashid do things. I’ve been using the normal bench for 2 months now and I made a lot of progress. After I hit my one rep max I’ve been plateauing. So I’m going to implement incline press on my workouts and do a lot of push ups.

Great tips Mike, I'm a implement on my next chest day!

I have been loving doing the incline presses. I had to lay off of them for a year due to some shoulder issues, but I am back to some decent weight on them. I am fearful of going over 455 for reps though because I start feeling it in my shoulders around that point. I have also found that each gyms incline is slightly different angles which has seemed to really help also. Good video! Keep up the great work!

Another benefit with incline is it gives your upper chest a mantle affect.....Mike is the goat...💪💪💪

good advice, the BASIC is what builds you, everything else is additive

Killer workout, coming to Cali to see Mike... I NEED this👊🏾

mike I follow damn near everything you say when it comes to the weight lifting thanks, very helpful in my daily workout! advice is free but it has value!!!!!

I did that workout today and trust me people IT'S THE BEST STRATEGY EVER!!!!

Been watching mike , he’s one of the realist fitness personals big up bro 💯💯💯💯

I've been hittin a rut lately in my workouts. Just discovered this dude a couple days ago. Feelin motivated and strong. Lets go!

You really Inspire us Mike, Thank you.

Appreciate it boss! I never lead with incline, but I'm about to start

Thanks Mike thanks for all you do bro

Homie went in!!! Good luck on the tour bro 💯🤙🏾

Love the training sessions!!

Nevermind you just showed it. Thank you

YOUR TEACHING IS WHAT I BELIEVE IN I DONT BELIEVE IN THOSE CONFUSING TYPE OF EXCERSISE I BELIEVE IN KEEPING IT BASIC AND GOING HARD TO SEE YOUR RESULT ESPECIALLY WHEN COMING DOWN TO CHEST WORKOUTS BENCH PRESS IS THE WAY TO GO

Dang man, I been so focused on just flat bench... I gotta incorporate that incline more thanks for the advice bro!

Been on the incline since day one. Really helped my flat presses.I made a major PR jump on flat. I do dumbbell incline as well to prevent imbalances.

@MikeRashid preciate that! I tried this today and I can control the weight alot smoother after I went from incline to flat bench! Preciate that!

I kind of do this routine but in reverse. I love my flat bench I move up 5 lbs every time I go. Hit chest 2 times a week. But I start at the top of the pyramid and work down because the gym I go to the people there aren’t good spots or really in the mood for it. So I’ll hit heavy whatever I can get for 3 reps 3x3 then down about 20 lbs 3x5 then down 20 3x8 down 20 2x12 and end with a close bench of 135 until failure. Then I’ll hit incline on the smith machine at 185 for 5 if I can get it go down 10 lbs and go to failure etc. then I’ll hit the chest press with 2 plates and go down in 10 lb increments. Then fly machine at 130 for 10 and just work my way down the stack then end with cable flys 5x12 at like 40 lbs. I thought I did volume until I started watching mike and it’s pushing me thanks for the vids and advice

Great content from a real one! Keep it up big mike!

Yo Mike thanks for this video going to definitely start implementing this method with incline to get my reg bench press up for next meet this year. Also going to implement on other two of big three as well.

Those push ups tho 😂😂 great video mike much love💪🏾

I never done incline really unless the flat bench wasn’t available, now I’m about to focus on the incline bench from now on💪🏾

now, this is the principle i could follow.

That collar is getting a better workout than i get. This whole video made me sore I need a post meal after watching this. 💪🏼

This was my approach to get my bench back I was 175 maxing 335. I’m now 169 even and max around 295. I’ve been doing dips seated rows and incline to get back. Good advice as always big mike

uv got new Fan ma friend love the vid keep them coming, Respect

You def got my sub. I’m trying this for the next month and half.

The music in the background takes me back
