benching 3 plates but can’t get to 4

[Weujso]

I’m looking for some advice. I’m currently benching three plates with no problem, but I’m having a really hard time getting up to four plates.
I’m currently 248 lbs. And around 6’3”. and 48 years old.
Do you have any recommendations as to how I can help my benching?
I’m training twice a week, my chest, do you think that I’m overtraining? and I’m doing about 20 sets each session

You might want to try not over-training, that could be the difference.

20 sets is a little much, I would increase the weight and go 12 or 15 sets

bros how about doing a little less weight then pushing things as you get closer to your end goal

try the 5-8 rep range. that is the magic rep range

you will do fine here. Just keep grinding, man. Good results will happen. You may want to think about using steroids as well.

You have to take a step back if you make two steps forward, that's just the way it works. Maybe drop down the weight for a little while. Then start moving up.
