Bench Press 350 lbs, 370, 380 failed attempt (at 220 lbs)

I lifted at the Lakeview Health and Fitness Center bench press competition Saturday. My first lift was good at 350, I tied my PR at 370 for my 2nd and almost had 380 for my 3rd lift!

did u ever break 380 bro? i noticed that i had a huge plateu from 370 to 380 also. its been taking me like 3 monthes just to break it lol..i finally hit 380 today and almost 390. right arm wanted to work but left arm wanted to stay at 380 lol. just like u in the vid here. are you striving for the big 405 also?

negative on the 380...I was able to get 375 after repping 350 x 3 though. I just wanted to see if I could get 3 reps, it felt pretty good so I gave 375 a shot.

I know what you mean on the long plateu...I think it took me 2 months to go from 370 to 375...ha ha

I'm trying to get back into the heavy weight now - I've lost 10-15 lbs for bball and added cardio...405 is still on my mind for the long haul.

Thanks for the comment bro

Good job. that 380 was damn close. i have the same balance issue with except it is with right arm. Happy training.

Thanks bro! I thought I had it for a split second...and then realty kicked in! ha ha

Great job bro. Congrat's on hitting your PR again. You are going to break right threw that right away! 380 lbs was yours. If you would have done it instead of the 370 lbs you would have nailed it.

5 stars bro.

Thanks, I surprised myself with almost hitting the 380...how's the 400 coming along?

@redgrizzly60 and you want to do alot of tricep training, and chest. do dips, weighted dips, seated dips, skull crusher, v shape tricep pushdown machine, rope tricep pushdown machine, close grip bench, lots of pushup, chest fly machines, and get your body SO USE TO THE BENCH that it is like second nature to do that kind of movement, it takes a while but it will work if u just lay on there and mess with 225 or lighter weight, and check your form and see if its right, that helps too :)

@redgrizzly60 well right now i did 370x6, 400x4, and 420x2 yesturday, and hopfully monday i can hit 375x6 410x4 and 430x2. thats what i been doing on bench in sets of 6-4-2 in the highschool weight room right now. and honestly i just gained a whole bunch of weight from lifting allllll the time and i mean alot of lifting and alot of protien eating. i suggest taking creatine, nitric oxide, and protein shakes if you can...and to get your bench up, get alot of sleep, eat alot of calories

@fivefingerbp98 what did you do because i too am currently stuck at 375 and was wondering what might help
