Anyone have any tips for bench press plateus? It's by far my weakest lift and seemed to have hit a wall.

Just started the program today. Wanted to get this on my watch list.

I know this thread is dead but screw it.
I'm on week four or so. My last weights were:
Squat 130
Bench 130
Deadlift 155
OHP 85 - should be 90 but my gym lacks 2.5 lbers
Row 90
I didn't start at the bottom on everything, and generally the weights have felt light. I'm starting to have to do some legitimate work now.
Not having 2.5 lb weights makes for some interesting jumps and such. I don't mind being uneven on weights a little on the row, but won't do it on something I'm lifting over my head. I'll generally do two days at the same weight and jump 10 lbs instead of five to keep the linear progression.
I get off my ship at the end of November and I'm hoping to keep going with something similar but tweaked when I get home.

quote:Right now, that is the warm up. Get the app, there is a warmup set unlock for it, but for now, just focus on FORM
Just started this workout. Started workout A
Squat 65
Bench 65
Row 55
What does everyone do as a warmup?
quote:Get creative with it... Might look dumb, but get a couple of plastic grocery bags, and find a couple things that weigh around 2.5 pounds and put it in there.
I thought about that but it getting mail on my ship is spotty at best. Ive been looking around wherever I go but no dice. Looking some more places tomorrow. On the row with the weight I'm using, it isn't hard to hold the bar so the difference in weight is offset, but I'm about done with this method as things are getting heavier.
