So John Meadows (may he rest in peace) suggests 3 warm up sets and 2 hard sets of 8. If going for strength do one rep per set as you get up to your max and then you have the energy to push up with maximum muscle fiber activation for maximum growth. I am 52 and I can say I have been gaining 5 lbs bench press for the last 8 weeks (180) today by just doing 40-50 empty bar to get muscle activation then 3 reps at 135 1 rep at 155 1 rep at 175 then pushing to the 180 I did today. I then go down by 10 lbs 1 rep till I bet back to 135 do 5 reps then empty bar for another 50 reps. 4-5 minute breaks in between. Everybody grows different so this in anecdotal for me but so far so good. Also i bench 2x a week (noob gains in gym 8 months) had not been in a gym for 25 years previous.

Always helpful, always insightful. For as jacked as my former trainer was, he never had us do barbell bench. I later found out (after firing him) that was bc he over bro-d it and wound up injuring his shoulder on BB Bench. Smh. Thanks as always. Look forward to mass gains on the bench

One thing that I-ve noticed that makes benching so much harder for me is that I go all the way up on reps and completely lock my elbows out. I noticed that you and everybody else that-s good at benching do NOT do that so I-m prob not gonna either lol

I have to be open and honest why I barely stop on your videos,
When I see the fool acting like well a fool in the preview before actually tapping on the video it comes off like a pointless video

I see alot of dumb people resting there feet on the bench while benching. dumbell press has shown more effective than barbell press. due to the full contraction

Always love the contrast between the -doing it the right way- guy and the guy in blue and white spazzing during every exercise. He is such an unsung hero.
