Want to be a good bencher, you better be powerful... Explosive... In other words not fucking slow.
My tip of the week: when warming up keep your reps as explosive as possible. The more explosive you can be on the warmups the more carryover you will have for being fast and explosive on your heavy sets.
When warming up I can barely keep my body on the bench until I am over 225lbs on the bar.
Right now after my surgeries (two distal bicep tears) I need to work on bringing the heavier weight down quicker and transition the weight onto my Lats. This was my first full chest session in over two months. Finished at 405 for a double.
Hoping to end my year at 500lbs
