- In this video I showcase my max benchpress progress. Clips are from October 6th - January 2nd.
In August of 2022 when I first started lifting in my attic. I did 90 for 9 whilst only weighing about 90lbs. I estimate my 1 rep max was 115.
In late October I created my own "powerbuilding program." I watched a few YT videos and whipped something together.
I also learned how to properly "progressive overload." For the most part. I had alot of help with learning from an experienced lifter.
I continued "my powerbuildimg program" up until my most recent pr.
After my 175 pr I got a real powerbuilding program. Which I am currently on. And will be on until I decide to switch it.
I will also showcase all of my other maxs in the next coming videos.

I remember doing 315 for the first time and it was like facing down a new path of inanity. When you start pushing beyond 225 its best to stay slow and be 100% sure your form is 100% on point! As for me im not into powerlifting anymore and just adding reps to 225 now.
Inanity??
@@tzzlite Synonyms of inanity (noun silliness) asininity. foolishness. stupidity.
@basedlifter08inanity is correct in this context.
@@camerontunno6533what does it mean
@@tzzliteinanity - a lack of sense or meaning. New word I didn’t know!
Love how the body adapts to what we throw at it!! Keep getting after it 💯 great work!
Always!
Nice pr, yet to hit 135 myself. I tried to hit it on new years eve as it was my goal for 2023 but failed, its alright though. When I do finally hit it Imma be ecstatic
Love to see your max bench press progress man! Keep going!
this is really awesome for you. the strength will keep coming
love that bro your very strong for your age, keep it up and you will be a beast.
i was in your position 7 years ago at around this weight, trust me if you keep grinding this max weight will feel like your warmup that you can do in your sleep. keep going!
5'8 142lbs for me right now i just got 185lbs on the bench press today that was freakin satisfying
Been going to the gym for 7 months now can't believe qll the progress i made!
I struggled with 80lbs at the beginning!
Let's go! You're gonna go far with this determination

Good shit king, keep it going🙌🏼
nice one, keep at it! can really see the improvement in technique over time as well
Great progress bro, this is inspiring me to reach my goal of a 275 lbs bench by 2024, I can get 245 lbs up by myself as of right now with proper form and 255 lbs with assistance.
You can see the technique improving also which is nice
Nice work, keep it up!
Great work brother!
great work!!!
Awesome brother. I just hit my PR of 250 2wks ago. Hoping got a 315 before Im done.
Keep it up brother
This is really solid especially for 15 years old. I didn’t hit 175 until I was 18 or 19
“I didn’t hit 175 until I was 12 years old”
-every 13 stick figure kid ever today 💀
nah but I have 185 pr at 17 years old
@@galaxy_on_mobile got 210 at 17
Hell yeah that’s sick. I started my gym journey benching 115 and I got up to around 145 but I slowed down and worked on my form and my bench shot up to 185 in 6 weeks from 145. Then I plateaued hard and switched my routine around and kept getting small increases. Currently stuck at 230 but about to break it.
Great job bro. I have been stuck at 115 pounds for 3 months 💀

Very good, just keep it going👋👋👋👋👊
Your technique is very good
Sick bro
nice bro keep it up
damn thats some progress
gg
w man keep going!
You can improve that bench a lot with a good leg drive my friend.
the second rep on the 135 when his legs LITERALLY shot out I thought he was gonna die
*Started lifting in middle/end of May and got a membership in june*
Bench is the best exercise it works so many muscles at one
Nice i hit 175 today
My heaviest has always been 205 cause the time I have to go to the gym no one else is there and I dont want to drop it.
form bro ‼‼‼‼
Great job. how much can you bench today?
I got stuck on 185 for a while because during my school's max out week in weights the deadlift PR hurt my back and I had to bench the next day. After that I finally broke 185 and hit 195, and a couple days ago I finally hit 200 and was jumping and screaming after. When I tried out my old PR of 185 and it felt like Thor lifting Mjolnir, I knew the 200 was happening. Today I am going to attempt 205. If I lift it, great. If not, doesn't really matter.
how's it going
@@cyro545 I hit 205 and tried for 210, but I need to let my body rest after the max out week. I'm just happy I did it
@@glassofwater281 good job king
@@cyro545 Thanks bro

Yesterday I hit 185!😊
Been stuck there for quite a bit
@@TylerTolander I got 190 this week try focusing on your triceps
@@ultimatetidepods2638 Ive been getting better leg drive so I might be able to go for 190
@@TylerTolander max out on 175-185 as many times as you can when you hit chest. Have someone behind you to slightly spot when you can’t get it up. And make sure you get your rest and eat! I’ve been stuck on 185 before and it sucks, you got this brother!
@@Cavcurlz Just hit 195 a couple days ago!
Nice job, you can def get 245+ by the end of 2024.
Form was way better. Keep up the good form and it will increase
Dont wide out the arms always keep that w form and push from the chest
Just to save the shoulders
HOW did you achieve this. im trying to go from 110 to 185 in a year
Good progress but control the negative more, that bounce at the bottom allows you to lift more but doesn't make you any stronger
i just hit 175 2 days ago
I went from 60 kg x 1 to 65 kg x 3 in two days, no idea how but i won't complain
I just got 185 I have it about in me once a day oh yeah and I’m 160 BMI
How old are you & how much you weigh?
how did you do it so fast? i'm trying to do something like this and I'd appreciate some tips! :)
Eat a lot. Train hard. I kept doing 5×5 with a weight I could do for 5 reps. And I would occasionally do 8/8/5/3/3. Working up to a weight I could only get for 3 reps. I train a little differently now if you'd like for me to make a vid lmk
@@Joesh. yes please :)
@@AquaDragon777_GD don't do to much volume (9 heavy sets bench per week is enough), train the lift 3 times per week and cut out other work like chest flyes that jsust fatigue your muscles without adding to your bench pr, work on your form especially legdrive, if you arent overweight eat with a surplus of 200-400 calories depending on how skinny you currently are. Be consistent and push your sets to failure
Jealous of your progress. It took me 5 months to go from 135-175 and it took you 3. How much did you weigh and did you take any substancecs like Creatine. Its upsetting for me.
Shit I weighed like less than 115 doing 135, I think. And when I did 175, I weighed around 130. I did 200 in December, weighing around 140 or a little bit less. Creatine, vitamin d3, magnesium, zinc, and calcium. D3 at 20k iu per day. Also switched from wide grip to close grip. I'm also short too so🤷🏿♂️
When are you going for 2 plates? Good progress
I wanted to 2 months ago. But I stopped benching when I changed to a different split. But now I'm benching again so maybe this winter🤷🏿
Before the end of the year. I might hop on a powerlifting program for a few weeks and see what happens🤷
Use arch lats and leg drive you can easily do 225
Kg or pounds?
whats your routine? your gains are insanely fast
Dm me on insta👍
i've been going to the gym for over a year, and no matter what i do, i can't increase my bench press after 70KG, which is also my bodyweight, do i have to bulk to get any better at bench press, or what am i doing wrong?
Focus on form. I've weighed within 130-140 for months😭. But my bench has went up like 30lbs. 5×5s r great for getting stronger too
@Joesh. yeah I've been doing 5x5 for the past month or so (instead of 4 sets and less weight), but it hasn't rlly made a difference, maybe my form is bad, gotta look more into it
Run a powerlifting program if all else fails. Make sure your form is good as well and your recovery and eating is on point. Hard to get a bigger bench if you’re not eating enough, speaking from experience.
Good job on your PRs, however I feel like just chasing a PR is the wrong mindset for a relative new lifter, just try to progress as a good rate and make sure you track your workouts, going for 1RM doesn't do much, will only increase injury chances if you chase it. In second and third clip your ass lifts off the bench, which wouldn't be considered a proper lift. What im trying to say, is that there is no need to chase to impress other people and do 1RM, just lift to have fun and improve your life.
Chasing PRs makes the MOST sense as a beginner because
1. You are so new and the weight you are pushing is so light that you will realistically be able to progressive overload very consistently (mostly for reps but also for 1RM) and 2. You don’t have the visual motivation or feedback of all your effort to really help push you to get your ass to the gym. Your brain may not even see going to the gym as a habitual thing yet. But at least you got that number grind! Or at least that’s how this noob to the gym treats it 😊
Shoulder
how often do u bench
With new program once per week. But with my old program twice per week.
How much can you lift benchpress now in Oct 2023??
I reckon i got 200 maybe even 205
try closer grip, or eventualy u will start feel pain in shoulder, maybe u will fckup your rotators later
You flare your elbows out. If you can’t lift with correct form then you should lower the weight. One rep maxes are for competition only, never go for one rep maxes in the gym because you’ll only hurt yourself eventually and halt your progress. Always train within the 5-12 rep range, you’ll get stronger, I promise.
post more
I'm going to I just haven't had a whole lot of creative ideas. For the most part I'll just be doing lifting footage and if me and my friends go do something fun I might throw that in there as well.
Probably could bring your elbows down further and not flare as soon
bar literally touched his chest
@@riunakajima2458 did I say it didn't dyel lmao
Its mechanically advantageous to flare after the touch. It looks fine.
@@jonluispena no it's mechanically advantageous to flare half way up and easier on the shoulders
@@baseddepartment1645 Its mechanically advantageous to flare as soon as you can* but I agree this can be harsh on the lifter's shoulders. But the big word is can. If he doesn't experience any pain, and he has the mobility. I can't think of why it's problematic.
grip was way to wide bro. sure you dont have shoulder pain rn?? +O
Up until 2 months ago I had my pinky on the knurling. (standard grip). Never really had shoulder pain. I've been benching with my pinky about an inch closer.
@@Joesh. I've found from my years of benching that a more narrow grip requires more of the chest. And a wider grip recruits other muscles you not necessarily targeting.
Everyone is different so. Really just fine wat works for u best.
@@GottieGottem The grip is relative to the arm length. It is not in or out of X that matters, it is start with the forearms vertical, not angled. Inner bench press with arms against chest is for triceps. Overall, this is about the worst form overall I have ever seen. Legs flying all over, etc.
Focus on form, you’re going to hurt yourself in the long run
I funking hate people who say that , and his form was good
he's not wrong. injury can quickly happen when you progress to fast.@@death8114
anyone can go heavy and bounce the weight off
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to comment this.
yeah all good any time@@Joesh.
you are pring way too much. if you did low reps high weight (155 or 160 for 5 judging on your current lifts) and stopped attempting prs so much, you'd probably be doing 195 rn.
good shit bro but i’d recommend using a closer grip, not only will it really build tricep size and strength without taking any gains from your chest and but you it’ll make u stronger when widen up ur grip again, so maybe for working sets use a closer grip but for Prs use a wider one
Switched to close when i started the program. I was previously on, hit 180 for 5 reps💀 in July I think. After that I switched to only Incline Bench. Im liking it much better so far. Once I can get a plate for 8 I may switch back.
@@Joesh. so u only do incline press ,
@0Takethoserisks0 as of now, yes. I want to develop my upper chest more. And flat bench isn't the best choice for that.
@@Joesh. Why not do both? Maybe do incline as a priority but still do some sets on flat to work on technique still. By the way I know that it's been 2 months so you might've already changed your program. Good work anyway!
Do another bench progress vid
