Idk if you remember me, I’ve commented on other videos in the past. 132lb wrestler struggling with bench press. I’ve blown it out of the water with your advice man! My max when I first started using your advice was 110lbs. Last night I hit 2 plates on bench!!!!!! I appreciate the help man!

A lot of barbell movements, another strategy that really helped me get past 315lbs was a lot of simultaneous isolateral movements brought on by using dumbbells. Once I got into the higher range of liftable weight my non-dominate arm would fail or fatigue out sooner. Causing my dominate arm to pick up the slack, resulting in an uneven bar at the top end of the lift. Once I started incorporating dumbbells and forcing both arms to work independently, my left arm started to catch up to my right arm and it really help me unlick new levels when I moved back to barbell lifts.

Was waiting for this, thanks !!

What has helped me in less than 30 days: - wrist workouts there are a few vids on bulletproof wrist - body weight triceps on rings (this is also killer core workout... abs will be burning) - resistance bands kettle bell bench press can either be done on the floor or bench... i do both - resistance band pushups and dips - kettle bells hanging on bench press barbell. There is a vid that shows how to use resistance bands to hang up kettle bells Yes i love kettle bells for their wide grip andfunctional movements and resistance bands to add that extra... resistance 😆 These workouts are cool and will try them out. Thanks so much coach love your content... has helped me alot to create that athlete routine which i switched back too asi get older 🙏🏽🙏🏽💪🏽💪🏽🔥🔥🔥

Awesome info

Your awesome you help me on my first bench press competition

That's amazing information

I love this guy, his system has increased my 14 year old sons bench and squat 30 pounds in a month..

I recently started using your wrestling program and it's amazing. It helps a lot and I learned a lot about programming.

Nice exercises mate

I just benched 185 today! I’m going to use these excercises next im trying to reach 225

Some good info here. Also, shoutout to a fellow Dane - the greatest name ever 🤘🏼

Trying to get my 15 year old stronger. Banded dumbells.. how heavy how many reps/sets ? Ty so much for the info !

what band strength is this in the first video and do you have a link for it? great info as well.

Great video!!!

I’ve reached up to a 340lbs bench at 250lb body weight after a year or so of half assed training. My bench feels stuck now though, I hope these exercises help!

0:29 did not expect to cry laughing at a gif in a Garage Strength video

Another key aspect in bench press strength is upper back strength. All of your suggested exercises are great but you also need something to push against.

On that last exercise, do we just use a Smith Machine? Given most gyms wont have such technology on board.

Hello Dane. Thank you for the great content. I want to ask you one thing. I have also done incline chest row but I have done it flat not cambered. Why is cambered better variation for increasing bench press?

Nice timing 🤠

Any alternative for camber bar exercise if not available at local gym?

Are there any modifications to these workouts because most of the gyms I go to don’t have any of this equipment.

Update6 months and I'm still loving this bench. kzfaq.infoUgkxo_64lVTGMk7y4aXTPxPOcQ3YTLyQ6kYV I use it almost daily. I've gotten used to the small wobble and it's no problem at all. Love the storage, it folds right next to my weight set in the garage and hardly takes any space. I wish the covering material was a little bit tougher. I have a feeling that in a couple years it'll tear, but the bench is very well priced that I would just buy a new one.3 month usage review. Awesome bench for someone looking for compactness and storage. I did have to drill a couple holes to adjust my preferred seating position and leg bar position but that's only due to my personal preference. It's very sturdy for normal workouts, but for anyone going above 100# dumbbell press it wobbles ever so slightly. I would probably go with a fixed bench if that's the case. That being said i can accomplish 99% of my normal gym workout with this setup. Very happy with the purchase.

I have the opposite problem of most people: I have a big difficulty getting off the chest and but once I get half way, my triceps feel really strong and I know--no matter how long it takes--my lockout is super reliable. Also woohoo PA squad.

Quick question: what's the purpose of the pad? Why not just bounce off the chest?

I have tbis problem when i push the weight of my chest i tend to lose form/tightness in the upoerback, gonna give the banded db a go

Max is like 175 now but had to bench on the ground until recently. We'll see how this helps

Big dog, what’s your thoughts on reverse grip DB & barbell bench?

Hey!! I resemble that remark - nyuk nyuk

Yes to have good bench you need to be able to keep shoulder blades in position so scapula need to be strong 👌🏻👌🏻

These look great, but how do you incorporate them practically into a program? As a 60 year old my frequency and volume are not boundless. Do you keep doing your standard bench program and add these as assistance moves on chest or push days? Which one do you choose? It would be a tremendous amount of volume to try to use multiple of these plus bench. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I need to work floor bench that dead on nailed my issues

I started weighted dips for some weeks, I don’t know if it’s the rest I took on the bench or the triceps work, but 80kgs felt so easy yesterday. My ORM is just 100kgs. I hope in November it will have grow.

@garagestrength Where you get that shirt??

Why did he go so hard on us in the beginning?? lmao

Shoutout Fric Eavors, breath still gotta be crazy

Whats up! Former college baseball player and I have always killed it in the weight room with my legs but my bench has always sucked. Will be back in a month or two to see if this helps.

I dont fk around with reps as soon as i hit a certain weight i increase it, that's how i am now able to bench 130kgs, i don't do these other exercise for bench, for bench i just bench , working for me, but still good info

Incline bench, closegrip bench & pushdowns work

going to implement this in my upper body days. will report back in a month with progress. currently at 135 x6. Bench has always been the worst exercise for me

Only worried about push ups, bench press doesn’t win fights 🥊

You made me cry

Dude I’m 120 off to making 1000 pound club Idk what needs to be increased Bench: 185 Squat:245 Hangclean: 135 Deadlift:315

Guys im 125 lbs at 15. Always been hella skinny, and im tryin to put on weight. I have decent legs. I squat 175 lbs for 3. However, my Bench is 120 no matter what i do. Ive been trying wave loading recently. Got any other tips?

0:27 😂 that me help please

I ve been stuck at 360 for to long lol hope this helps.

Can you make one for push press?

Sir How to get rid of anterior deltoid pain!!

Julius Maddox: get a big back

Some of these are ridiculous with specialized equipment that you'd never need. Videos like this should focus more on technique than all these silly alternatives. Reminds me of someone showing you all the different ways to do cardio to lose weight, when the bike/treadmill will do it if you just stop stuffing face and keep going to the gym. Increasing your bench is the exact same thing, but stuff healthy ingredients into your mouth hole, a LOT, and keep benching, a LOT. That's it. There's no secret and this video was made for people looking for a way out of hard work and proper diet.

why recommend the xpt when 99% of viewers wont have access to one although other than that this was a great video

I bent over row 100 kilograms but bench 90 kilograms, I rep max.

My stats Squat-170 Bench-165 Deadlift-225

5 exercises to get super strong and fit with DB

Does heavy bench press reduce overhead mobility?

The secret is time and consistency

Ight actual question: is 180 bench for 145 body weight good?

Almost every exercise will increase your bench press, from strengthening the legs and abs to doing cardio. However, working on some muscles is more important such as the tricep, bicep, back, pec, lat, and shoulder, and improving your grip strength. So do closed-grip bench or any other tricep work, rows, pull up, curls, deadlift, and squat (for overall strength, and also the leg is used in the lifting), strengthening the ab, and some cardio (stronger heart)

I’m 165 pounds my bench is stuck at 315

Seems unlikely i would try these unless really plateaued

It needs mass to move mass. That’s all we need to know.

Do we perform ALL seven exercises every day?

Barbell squats. Didn’t see them. Can’t get a big bench if the squat doesn’t go up.

When I bench I mainly feel it on my triceps, why is this

Repping 4 WHO?!?!

Is it weird that I want to watch ratatouille

Most of these exercises include equipment most people will not have access too that’s unfortunate

Would steroids 💉 help me increase my bench press? 😂😅 If so which is the best testosterone to take? 😅

Did he say reppin 405 and pushing 500. No athletes are getting that unless they’re 270-300 pounds

People wearing masks for a bug with a 99.99% survival rate was a new low for humanity. Great advice though.

Useless advice.
