I Cant Bench

[rgosit]

i cant put up ne weight on bench.
in the winter i maxxed out at 235. and a few months ago i did 190X6
and im back to the phasemof my werkout ware i bench 3 seets of 5.

today i did 170X5 strugled with 180X5 then went backl down and struggled 175X5

i just keep going down. my coaches an teamates think it is because me and my partner kill ourselves on squat.
i weight 180.

today i ended my squat on 390X5 and my partner 410X5
and neither one of us can bench ne thing.
how could i fit something into my werkout to help my bench???

maybe u should try high reps in the 6-12 rep range to switch it up so ur body gets a new feel. 5 X 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 pyramiding the weight up by 5 lbs each time helped me.

i was on 10 reps for 4 weeks..

this is my second week doing 5 reps..eventually dropping to 3

If possible, try switching to dumbells for a while- they can work wonders. After 4 or 5 weeks,go back to the bench- you may be very surprised.
