The Ultimate Guide To Improving Your Bench Press | Mind Pump 2127

As a woman, I didn't focus a lot on bench press, but in the last 2 years of strength training, I've seen a natural "lift" in areas - I love that! Thank you for all your banter & training on the podcasts & programs. Next master class one - Shoulders - my weakest area & nemesis.

I have 4 boys that look up to me as their father and im so happy to say I've made my best gains on maps 15 - brought my totals up on the big 3 to 230 bench, 230 squat, and 330 deads - currently in a deficit for the last month - have lost 5 lbs of fat and have kept my lifts at the same weight when I was in a bulk - letssss goooo! Really want to grab powerlift this fall. 💪 you guys are the best. And I love cheese.🤘

First off, love this series, as do a lot of others it seems. Keep them coming! After 2 years of near no lifting and mainly running/triathlon training I have been back in the gym because of you all for the last few months. I have been alternating heavy and light weeks with my lifts and going about 3 days a week with 3 runs a week. Your “less is more” approach and the strategy of entire day lifting rather than all at once has given me some great responses in my lifts as well as just mentally I’m never checked out or worried I’m not doing enough. Best I’ve felt in years even when lifting. Aiming for 315 bench, 405 squat, 495 deadlift while being able to do a 1:30 half marathon. Confident in something like this for the first time because of you all.

My right shoulder has so inflamed before, during and after. Until I found your advice to prime my back before I do bench and chest. Holly cow it was a Big game changer 👍👍👍👍👍

Took 3 years off from lifting and been back consistently for 2 months now. Thank you for all of the helpful videos.

Greetings from the UK. Just want to let you guys know, you've given me the confidence to go from lifting lighter dumbells in my front room, to lifting much heavier barbells in my husbands garage gym. I'm aiming to get stronger and boost my metabolism etc inspired by your "why women should bulk" video 😘 👍

Master classes are where it's at. Also appreciate when demonstration clips support the content discussed!

Being 6’7 with a 6’9” wingspan I’ve decided to stop barbell bench press OR I’ll do them but with a comfortable lighter weight. I find myself enjoying dumbbells wayyyy more.

Yes! Wasn’t expecting a masterclass on this. I love the bench press but I’m sure there’s so much more to learn!

These masterclass videos are awesome. I just watched the shoulder one again, got more takeaways the second time. You’re great at communicating your points!

Another great episode, I am loving this master classes as they are helping me personally and as a personal trainer

I love these master classes! You go in depth on everything you need to know about the specific topic of the day and it has helped me so much on my lifts and on understanding the mechanics of each body part

Thanks for this video been waiting for it. Started Anabolic this week and am in the pre-phase. Loving the trigger sessions and at the end of the foundational days feel energized and ready for more.

Thanks so much for this. This is an area that I have always been more cautious about due to injury concerns. I really appreciate all of the great info here!

This masterclass series is the best! And I was hoping this would be the next masterclass since I’ve recently been working on my bench a lot for my goal of doing a powerlifting meet next year. Wonderful content and advice as always, and I can’t wait to incorporate all the guys talked about into my bench practice. Thank you, Mind Pump!

Loving this masterclass while trying to increase the weight on this lift! My best workout music is your podcast; it gives me the perfect enviornment and motivation while resting between sets and also while I'm pushing hard the liftings 👌

I'm excited for this episode because I have trouble connecting with my chest muscles. I really like the demonstration videos.

YESS! Have been waiting for this one 👏 So thankful to have a solid source of information, thats also communicated well! Excellent once again, thanks guys!

I'm really loving these Masterclass episodes. So valuable.

Always love these tips. This one especially. I've been stuck with bench press. Gonna try the bands. Thank you
