My benchpress is a big time joke rn should I strengthen arms with dumbbell and lat first? @gymcelalpha

Don’t get smart with me

bench more often to get better at benching, no sense in trying to "prepare" as long as you can bench the bar

nobody at the gym will think less of you for being weak, they'll respect that you're out there getting fit and gymmaxxing

Everyone in the gym wants me gone and moves away when I’m near

I would think less of him tbh. Especially if he is a lanky smug twink. Tries to mog, but can't even bench two plates? it's pretty ridiculous.

what makes u think he'd be trying to mog in the gym, dude is talking about making as small of a footprint as he can in the gym and going when other people arent there

Your wrists and grip are likely not used to lifting

They are not

 

[ahe3521starbo]

They are not

it all comes back to doing it more often. the best way to build up your wrists and grip for lifting is to use them for lifting

benching is easy just get under the bar put your hands somewhere near the rings (usually works for most) try to get your legs up high to get an arch. Depress your shoulders keep your elbows tucked in when going down , then explode to get it up with your energy starting from the legs thats what leg drive is for

 

[gymcelalpha]

Nope, just keep practicing bench and the strength will come. Its all about repetition.
