I just can't increase my bench for around the last 3-4 weeks lately.

I tried various things I mean I was using the dumbells on the flat bench and lets say would do the 5X5 wit the 95 pound dumbbells. Than I said alright now lemme go down to the 90's and I have been doin around 3 sets of 7-8 reps some nights more some less. But I just can't break it....i do the incline as well and the funny thing is i feel i'm increasing there and not the flat......i don't know what to do any more

Some one please are there any great or different exercises than can help me get past this problem....I wanna be able to be repping the 100's soon

Lift heavy with a relatively low reps and when it feels really heavy push harder. There isnt any real secret to get you to increase your bench other than to bench heavy and do flys; and maybe do so extra mass building tri work.

Lift heavy and get help when needed.

1. What has your diet trend been lately? Are you eating in a surplus or deficit? Water intake? Pre and Post Work Out consumption?

2. What are your rest periods between your workouts?

Both the above can effect progression in the gym. Truthfully, you did not provide enough information for one to give a more "individualized" answer to your question.

3. What is the totality of your training? How often? How long in the current routine? What other exercises are you doing?

Relevancy? Its all relevant to your question. Cause the body adapts fairly quickly, and one's diet circumference, volume and intensity in training, along with rest and recuperation, ALL can "play into a weight training plateau". Not to leave out, being proactive in educating yourself on how deal with it. This is nothing new, and many will experience it. There should be no surprise; therefore, educate ones self and you will enable yourself to deal with it on-the-fly, and prepare for it, out of the gym as well.

Besides a forum, you have at your finger tips, a mountain of information to obtain "QUALITY" information to learn various progression techniques, and ways to break progression plateaus.

Answer the questions.

Best wishes to you,
