It looks like you are struggling a little bit more when you are doing 60 kg compared to 140 kg 😂. But I know it's more difficult balancing light weight in a way compared to heavy, and you are also not warmed up yet. Anyway, this is really impressive. Keep up the good work 💪. Me myself barely do 100 kg as a 1RM, but I have some problems with my right shoulder blade.
Yeah indeed haha:) It does get easier when putting more weights on the bar:) Thank you! I sure will keep it up and reach the goal (eventually) ;) I hope that your shoulder blade issues will get easier and not cause problems For you! 100kg is great! It is a huge milestone to get 3digits weight :) good job!
@@jx7o warmup I usually do 1-2min, when I’m closing in on my work set I usually rest 4-5min. If it feels good and I’m ready, then I go. It Depends on how it feels :)
That’s very kind of you to say that :) There are many great tutorials out there, but maybe I should make one as well. Any specific techniques that you would like me to talk about and show?:)
@@ironswede91 Just standard. Nothig too fancy. Noticed your narrow grip, why? Instead of say a wider one. Moreover, I have seen you have formidable strenght in all basics. How have you been programming your training thus far? Thanks! And btw, no need to thank anything.
It seems that, for some reason, I never receive notifications for answers, only for original posts. I apologize for the very late reply; I need to go through and check if I have missed any other responses. Regarding narrow vs. wide grip: - A wider grip results in a smaller range of motion (ROM) since the bar starts closer to the chest when unracked. However, it places more pressure on the shoulders, which are smaller muscles compared to the pecs. - A narrower grip results in a larger ROM and places more emphasis on the triceps. I found that the sweet spot for me is somewhere in between, which might be too narrow for some and too wide for others. Regarding the progression and programming for my bench press: I alternate between different progressions that I have created. The basic one is simple: stay at a weight until I can do 5 reps, then increase the weight by 10kg and stay there until I can do 5 reps, and so on. The other progression is a bit more complex and focuses more on achieving a one-rep max (1RM). Try different methods until you find what is best for you :)
Good job
Thank you :)
Thanks :)
snyggt mannen!
Tack ska du ha:)
Har bytt upplägg till att köra 10reps på mitt top-set, istället för 5.
Känns bra än så länge :)

@@ironswede91how much break time between each set?

good lifting, height/bw?
Thank you.
I was 114kg at that time according to my weight log.
I am 193cm
Holy shit!!!!!!! Bro do a bench press tutorial!!!!!
