Week 1 Bench Day 💪 Fixing My Weakest Lift | 6-Week Strength Program

Описание: This video is Day 2 of Week 1 in my new 6-week strength block, focused on improving my weakest lift: the bench press.
After my last training cycle, it was clear the bench wasn’t progressing the way I wanted. While my squat and deadlift continued to get stronger, bench stalled — so this block is programmed differently. Instead of higher reps, I’m running lower reps with heavier weight, working closer to my goal numbers and building confidence under the bar before a max attempt at the end of six weeks.
In this session, I walk through the full workout and explain why each movement is there.
💥 Week 1 Bench Day Breakdown:
Bench Press — 240 lbs for sets of 2, focusing on smooth, controlled reps
Close-Grip Bench — heavier triceps-focused work to support lockout
Weighted Pull-Ups — building upper-back strength for a stronger press
Incline Dumbbell Press — finishing with chest and shoulder volume
I also talk honestly about things most people deal with but don’t always mention — joint feedback, elbow soreness, adjusting supplements, and learning when something in a program isn’t working and needs to change.
This channel is about real training: adjusting when things stall, staying consistent, and building strength over time. Whether you’re brand new to lifting or already deep into fitness, this is the kind of process that actually leads to progress.
