3 Tips to Dramatically Increase Your Bench | Absolute Strength Podcast Ep.8

By: Kyle Hunt

 

In this episode, I talk about 3 key tips that will make a big impact on your bench press strength.

 

Tip #1: Dial in your form (you probably bench wrong)

 

Tip #2: Frequency is KEY 

 

Tip #3: Choose the right assistance movements. 

 

PS- What do you think is the most “overrated” bench press assistance movement?

 

Since I started lifting weights, my goal has been to bench press 405lbs. At first it seemed like a pipe dream. Everyone said I wouldn’t be able to do it at 165lbs. I would need to get bigger or take steroids.

I knew I could do it, it would just be a matter of time.

Well, it finally happened this past summer. This is one of my favorite lifts of all time.

This meant a lot to me.
