Fucking magic I swear
Many people don't realize that bench is actually the most technically difficult lift of the big 3.
squat > (press) > bench > deadlift
did you mean "The Press™" ?
Well I have always struggled most with the bench. At my lifting peak (now I just run) I had a 150 kg squat, 170 kg DL and >lmao95kg bench
why did you stop? I'd be happy to maintain those numbers
Lifting was consuming all of my time and I was miserable because I had no time for anything else.
Well lifting and dieting and everything else that goes along with it I mean.
>tfw cutting and you have to bring tupperware with stale chicken and green beans with you everywhere you go.
>tfw bench is my highest lift
Post your numbers if you're gonna make a statement like that. It's not very impressive if bench is your highest lift but you only bench 50 kg.

It was 125/215/230/250 before I hurt my lumbar a month ago and even with proper form it hurts like a bitch

can someone explain to me how to do this? I try and I just feel like Im not doing it right and struggle to bench 150 while the rest of my lifts are more appropriate for me having lifted almost a year now
How to properly leg drive? When i try my butt just lifts up so i try my best to keep my legs inactive
Yeah after getting leg drive and my arch down I jumped from 205 to 225 easy
