"How Much Can Ya Bench?"

The Bench Press is one of the most popular lifts in the gym. And it's one of the lifts that people use to judge your overall strength and muscle progress.

In fact, I can remember back in my early days of weight training when I was still in school people used to regularly ask me 2 questions:

"How Much Can Ya Bench?"

"How long have ya been benching?"
It was as if the bench press was the only exercise anyone ever did LOL
Now the bench press is certainly a good lift, but it's only a small piece of your whole muscle building program. But non-the-less it's an exercise that people put a lot of emphasis on.


Every single guy who lifts weights gets a rush of excitement whenever he sets a new personal record in the bench press. For most guys it's a high that can last for days. You'll feel on top of the world when your bench is getting stronger, and at the same time you can feel down in the dumps when you are stuck in a bench press plateau.
So in this video training lesson I'm going to cover some very important technique tips that you can use to maximize your bench press strength by using proper lifting form. Not only will these tips help you bench more weight, but they'll also reduce your risk of injury as well.

  • Hi, i want to ask about bech press. I'm 16 years old 186cm heigh and 75kg weight, does bench press won't injure my back when i'm doing arc with it? Maybe i need belt?

  • @AiriasasFTW

    Build up to the arch gradually, if you are inflexible you may find it causes some stiffness initially, but you won't injure your back because there is no actual weight on the spine itself, all the weight is supported by your arms, chest, and shoulders.

  • do you have to have your feet tucked under the bench? or is it just preference?

  • @ThepmbBROWNIE

    Having the feet tucked back will help create more leg drive. But some lifters prefer to have their feet forward. So it's really personal preference. Try both ways and see what helps you generate the most power.

  • I bench max 220, and I'm pretty happy with it. But I do want to increase the weight :)

  • @PatrikN793

    When you improve your lifting form you'll also make better strength gains. If you need a complete training program to help with your bench press, I suggest the BlastYourBench. com program.
