bench press

[shredder]

Hi everyone! Been a keen gym junkie for a few years now and starting to get serious in lifting and achieving big goals,

Bench press is one of my fave exersises just wanting advice on tweaking or any techniques?

Recent was x6 sets of x5 reps at 100kg and finished with a max push of x2 reps at 140kg

No shirt just raw, and wanting to know if this is a good effort on the bench or am i hyping myself into thinking its good??

Cheers

A 3 plate bench is a good effort. You don't see too many guys hit proper depth with no spotter benching 140kg.

What bodyweight are you?

140 is a great bench, some guys train their whole lives and never manage that. Good effort.

Nice! So you think you can bench? No seriously, type that in on youtube and theres a good little series of videos to watch. Might be worth a look for you?

Yeah I agree. Milestones like this are important so well done.

The only thing I would say is make sure your form is solid and you use a full range of motion. I see too many guys benching and only taking the bar to within 6 inches of their chest. This is pointless for most of us who want to get big and strong. The weight is not as important as the technique.

140 was the most epic milestone for me. nice work

6 sets before doing a 140? Sounds like you could do 150 easy fresh.

Thats a good weight though, whats your bodyweight like? Like nemesis said

"So you think you can bench" youtube it. Very good tips.
