Board presses!

You could always force yourself to move up... Or just work on getting your upper back stronger, it seems like thats the problem

Try changing your diet and your program altogether when things get stale

ive tired switching proggrams few times.

wizkid- wat kinda boaard presses would u suggest for a raw presser? 3 board 2 board ?

megad-would exersizes would be good for upper back?
would behind the neck presses be good?

Will you post your current routine, and what other routines or changes you have tried before? That'll help us get a better idea of how to offer suggestions.

i certainly hope you are performing incline presses

you also need strong legs and back.

focus on all your weak points.

joker47- way back in summer i tried westside and i got a bit stronger. i tried the one muslce per week and 2x per week but it always ends up getting stuck @ 200-205.

swain- i dont do inclines. maybe i should? closegrip or normal grip?

thanx

How long did you stay on WSB? You say you got stronger. Did you stop for some reason?

Louden is right, you should be doing inclines as well. Whether it's your primary bench lift or secondary, they should be done.

if you try my 4 week strength cycle, I reckon you will gain a good 10-20lbs on your bench in 4 weeks
