Hey CB, been putting a ton of effort into getting my bench press numbers as high as possible for strength and size (mostly the latter -.- chest is still super lagging behind). About 2 weeks ago went for a 225 on the incline bench but failed on it unfortunately. I almost had it, was a good slow decent but my sticking point was about 3 inches off where I start to push up. I heard floor presses were really good for getting good at the lockouts but I don't know how to do them well and I don't know the speed or the reps that I should do them for. If anybody has done them or has a video on how to do them specifically for strength gains that would be greatly appreciated. I am also nearing the peak of my bulk (about 200 as of writing this) and I don't plan on going much higher. I'm about 11-12% and so I don't think the whole 'eat more and your bench will increase as your body weight increases' will work well for me. Anything past 203 lbs and I start to become incredibly bloated and it's hard to focus on lifting when you feel like crap!
Thanks guys!
