I GAINED 70lbs on My Bench Press in 6 Months - Here’s How

Описание: I added 70 pounds to my bench press in just 6 months—and I did it 100% drug-free. In this video, I break down the one cue that changed everything. Whether you're stuck at 315, chasing 405, or plateaued around 455 like I was at the start of the year, this might be the exact shift you need.

I’ll walk you through:

-Why I started every session with 405 lbs as my new “floor”
-How I identified and attacked my mid-range and lockout weak points
-The simple mental cue that changed my bar path and tricep activation
-Why I switched to feet-flat benching for better leg drive (USAPL legal)
-How I stopped letting accessories drain my recovery—and still stayed healthy

This isn’t bro science or hype. This is what worked for me as a competitive, drug-free powerlifter who's benched 470+ and is still climbing.
