only benching 200lbs

[rebane]

I’m only benching 200 lbs and I’m 22 years old. I don’t feel like I’m very strong. Is there anything you’d recommend that I do differently in the gym to get stronger? I’ve been using the hammer strength machine and I have transitioned to using the flat bench, but I don’t feel like I’ve been improving enough.

bros We all started the week when we first started training I think I was barely able to do the bar. You gotta keep at it and be consistent. That is the key.

I would look at doing some push ups. If you can do a bunch of push ups and keep improving on that, then your chest will get stronger in its own right.

Find a good gym with free weights. I would do some dumbbell presses and flat bench presses. Those are going to be the key.

You can do push ups from home anytime you want to make it more challenging, start adding weights to your back. Once you start improving on that, trust me you'll get stronger.

200 lbs is not bad at all.you are still young. You're not going to peak with your strength until your 40s and 50s.

Stick to flat benching but don't do inclines. Those put way too much pressure on your shoulders. Also flat presses are good with dumbbells. Those are going to help build some strength.
