I really want you guys to watch the whole vid for all the pointers, especially my explanation at the end. I truly believe following the tips in this video (unless you are already doing them) will increase your bench press dramatically.
5. Don't listen to person on PED's who has no idea about programming on how to improve your bench, all he said in this video is dun uh train hard, don't spend your energy, do you know any person who doesn't do bench as the first exercise in the gym? Training heavy compounds first thing is common knowledge gosh
agreed with you, my guy. People who are on PED shouldn't come up with this type of advice because we're looking at two different scenarios. @@hornet-h3v
@@xXPondusGamingFifaXx I would probs do it like this, just my opinion and my experience with lifting X10- 65% X5- 80% X3- 85% X2- 87% X1- 90%-93% Recommend do it twice a week, with three day rest period in between to let the muscle re-group. If you’re looking into increasing your bench press significantly and quickly I would look up the Smolov Jr (Bench Press) i use it often. It’ll add 10kg (22lbs) to bench almost guaranteed if done correctly. The way I do it is run the three weeks, two day rest, max out. One week de-load take it easy, a lot of volume. Then kick it back up and do it again based on my new max. Hope this helps!
I can see how mad Simeon was at 10:20 I am the same way when something I usually hit I don’t hit it as many reps or maybe as smooth as I usually do. Sometimes it’s not about you losing strength but you haven’t rested enough between your last lift for full recovery
Also about your body hormone levels and glycogen levels etc, which hall depends on your sleep, stress levels and food intake. (quality, timing, quantity) duh
@@hornet-h3v True. But to be honest the gym Simeon said he did 2 reps on, Ive been there before multiple times, and their weights are DEFINITELY much lighter than conventional gym weights even tho they say 45 lbs or whatever. Cuz 315 lbs I did for 7 reps there but at any other gym my max is 5. So he probably just got tricked by the gym weights
Been using your techniques for the past 3 years...I'm in the best shape of my life. Definitely form over weight! In the 430 bench...your feet weren't planted...could be why
Just getting started back after years of wanting do make the change. Love seeing these as it confirms to me that using the bar only isn’t as bad as i thought. I would often walk out of the gym and not go back because i thought I had to be at the same level as the other guys. Thank you for sharing this
New to the channel and appreciating the knowledge: *STEPS: 1. Warm Up - Prevents injuries and primes your CNS 2. Loose your ego - You shouldn't need a spot for each and every rep 3. Use a belt - Increases and keeps intra abdominal pressure - creates that vacuum with your diaphragm with you breathing and gives you more power 4. Conserve energy - Limit the number of reps leading up to your 1RPM * REPS: 10, 5, 3, 2, 1RPM, Rep out (12)
What is it they do exactly tho, get loads of money from selling supplements to people who don't know better by making 20 min videos with almost no tangible info, except bro science.
Someone is my idole .. my motivation.. I followed now 2 years and I can see the changement on my body . The muscles definition and people at my gym all the time asking me what I do to have a body shape . I just say I work hard I am patient I don’t rush to go heavy and I have a motivation...🔥🔥🔥🔥🤞🏾🤞🏾
I have watched your videos, and I’m slowly improving my bench. Thank you. Because I do not have a workout partner to help, I do use a smith machine because of the stability.
I want to thank you both for your tips on lifting/bench press. There is one video you both did and I remember Simeon going heavy on dumbbell then he said if we don't try them we will never gonna get them. That changed my all approach. I saw an increase in my bench press for trying. Now I can do 3 plates of 45lbs each side for two reps. I lift 100lbs dumbbell on my incline and growing. Same approach got me to push my squats from 2 to 4 plates. Thank you for getting us to challenge our own fear, drop our ego and achieve what was first seen as not within our range.
This is one of the best videos I've seen on the subject.Prior to watching this video, I had already incorporated aspects of this program , but not in full. I really liked the way you broke everything down at the end. That truly tied everything together. I feel like you gave me a great strategy for success.
It's mental battle as well. Reps are great and his approach is beneficial for increase strength but the mind is just as powerful. Try strengthen the mind. It will help you. It did me. Take care and God Bless.
I was stuck at 225 for years. I switched over to this Arnold program and now I can hit it for 10. Similar strategy as what they are doing here. I can send you a pic of the workout if you want. Just dm me on insta @brandonfromthechi
My two favorite people to watch. So much knowledge between the both of you. Thanks to you both for the awesome content always. Always a good session when the both of you are together
Sim you have gotten soooo much stronger in the last year i remember like last year mike was a good bit stronger than you now u too are equal respect bro
Hi Simeon, could you kindly make a video about “Proper techniques for an effective bench press” just like you did with your “how to properly execute an ATG squat “ step by step please . I feel most people (including my self) haven’t really understood the perfect form to a proper bench press . Thanks
Mike is 225lb and hitting 4 plates? Damn! Proof that the strength isn’t always necessarily correlated to your weight. I’m about 175lb and still trying to hit 3 plates, that’s my aim for the rest of 2020..... hope there’s no lockdown again to ruin that
Thank u I'm slowly building my confidence back see my rist was broken years back so when I lift now it hurts when I go heavy but I'm training it so it can get back to normal once it do I'm going ham like a muffucca
5:18 I can relate even to the gym I go to. The amount of people I see people doing things wrong or pushing beyond their means because the weights are too heavy and they are just cheating by getting someone else to apply equal force to help them lift
If you wanna increase your bench then do weighted push ups they work really well, if you don't have weights then put water jugs in a backpack and do push ups. Trust me if you really want a good bench press you'll get a good one whether or not you have access to a gym, you got this man!!!
What helps me is getting more confident with bigger increments for squat and deadlift especially going by 45s and 25s only cuz lot of times id overthink and be like idk if I'm ready for that I'll just add 2 10s instead of 25s. And it stopped me from ever going heavier (with good form). With huge strong guys they don't go up by 5s or 10s they usually add 25s and 45s so i want to think that way and feel comfortable doing that. More of a mind game.
Ego is seriously all of our biggest weakness and enemy when it comes to working out and getting the best results. That's one thing I made sure to make a point of and focus on. My motto is leave your ego at the door.
Hi Sameon! I believe you are doing good beast.. 💪 I don't know if you know but I'm following u for a while now and believe me when I say your advice really helps me to to gain muscle even without supplements. What can I do to get sponsored by a coach who will take my hand in to the fitness life because I really want to do this for a living. I'm asking you cause you are my role model.
Thanks for the motivation. Will be focusing on getting 2 plates. It’s been a life long goal! I’m 6’5 & 225 lbs. slim-fat. Getting rid of the beer belly gut while improving my physique.
@@user-vq6hj Don’t give up. I just started benching twice a week and working on more chest accessory workouts and mixing weight training with Calisthenics like pull-ups and sit-ups. I would say test your 1RM strength and do more chest workouts. I weigh 163 and maxed out 245Ibs.

These videos are great! Question, has Simeon’s grip widened, which would help in lifting heavier, but has affected pectoral hypotrophy? His grip was always much narrower in older videos, which was amazing how much he was lifting then as it looked way harder. Or was his impressive chest development a result of other additional exercises?
I'm an introvert with social anxiety so I'm misunderstood alot..any boldness or strength comes from the Lord. It's tough to go to the gym but I have to go!🤙
Damn I’m out here trying get my bench from 180 to 200 and you guys throw two plates on like it’s nothin. But to be fair, I started this summer and you guys have been doin this for a long time

Just two brothers grinding together. No handouts. All work. Dis as real as it gets!

Both of you did some good work. Good job
Yo Simeon Im taking into what you have said in this and previous videos and shits working for me man, appreciate it lots.
Yours a Mike techniques have helped me tremendously.. ima speak this into existence ima get a workout with y’all one day 💪🏽
Great video. Excellent pointers at the end. I appreciate this very much and will implement....Salute bros!
I LUV YOU GUYS YOUVE CHANGED MY WORKOUT EXPERIENCE AND LIFESTYLE 💪🏾
I love watching your guidance,its down to earth,shows heart and emphasises the most important factor - form is more important than ego lifting
I’ve always struggled with 2 plates, don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Thanks for the tips, I’ll try it out
Try mixing it up, use dumbbells, decline press, take the leg drive out to focus on the chest - this’ll push you through the plateau
Just do more bench.
Train with 70-80% of your max and slowly build up to 225. Really no need to 1 rep max unless you are a powerlifter.
It's mental battle as well. Reps are great and his approach is beneficial for increase strength but the mind is just as powerful. Try strengthen the mind. It will help you. It did me. Take care and God Bless.
