How in the fuck do you gain in benchpress? I feel like I've been stuck at 175lb FOREVER...

That was how I did it as well

60kg 5x5 until I hit 100kg 3x5 then switched to 5/3/1 until I hit 130kgx1, this all took about 9 months, switched to Texas method now and three weeks in don't think it's as good as 5/3/1 for intermediate bench

switch back to a 3x5. asking a novice to to 4x8 squat and a follow-up 4x8 OHP on the same day as bench is retarded. if you want upper body, do greyskull. whoever made that is retarded. bought microloading plates if you havent already

Should i try stronglifts then?

...

Took me 2 weeks to bench pl8, I'm at 1.5 now after 4 months. I was a fat ass when I tarted

bench is useless unless you compete. focus on press and other DB shit for chest.

a good presser is a good bencher. a good bencher is not necessarily a good presser.

what do you mean 60 kg 5x5? how did you progress past that? you can't go from 60 to 100 if you only ever do 60 5x5. you either increased weight, did more volume or more reps. so which one was it?

Yeah but uh, what program should i use then. Isn't greyskull for intermediate lifters?

GSLP ia linear progression program, the base program only calls for bench and squat

>Retract the scapula
This is literally the first thing you learn getting on a bench press. There should be no reason you're up to 175 without retracting your shoulder blades. It also shouldn't be the only reason you aren't making gains.
More power sets, less working sets. Think of it this way, are you going to move up in weight if you're benching the same weight as last week? No. Go bench 185x3 instead of 175x5 and force yourself to move up.
