strengthening my bench press

[loireaz]

I’m looking for some sound advice when it comes to increasing my bench pressing. One of the things I don’t like is that my shoulders start hurting me when I try and push things more.
You think I should change up my strategy and go more lower weights, or do you think I should keep pushing and hope that I start improving? I’ve been stuck at two plates for a long time.

Let's see the whole thing laid out - sets and reps etc

Too many people over train and that actually prevents you from getting results.

My advice is to build consistency. Once you build consistency, then you can start increasing the weights.

bro train like a gorilla.

You need to be balls to the wall treat every day. Like, it's your last day.

I've never trained super heavy. I've always stuck to lower weights, it's allowed me to stay more healthy.

I love to see your strength on the benching. Maybe you should want some videos online.

It's important to stick to the 5 or 6 rep range. Too many people try and do 15 reps

benching is about Consistency.

Make sure you're doing flat benching. That is the key to success.

If your shoulders are hurting, then you're definitely got issues because if you have bad shoulders, you won't be able to get stronger.

You probably need to do a better job of working on your Mobility that could be what's keeping you back.

Bros. Benching is an art just like anything else, you do the same thing if you want to get better at squatting, you just gotta put in the hours.
