How do you bench more without hurting your wrists?

Wrist straps. But in your case probably proper form and deload. Keep training that weight till it's nothing to you.

Hold the bar properly.

Well, it's a good start to have somewhere to rack the bar. This man is clearly about to discover his mistake and get seriously injured.

If you're doing barbell then switch to dumbbell.

Switch the free weights to confuse the wrists, right babe?

I've only ever seen two types of people that wear these in the average gym.

Fuccbois doing lmao1plate or less while their spotter has their hands on the bar the entire time.

And the middle aged guy that does 3 reps of 225 a set and acts like that is at all impressive.

If your wrists hurt then you're holding the bar wrong. The bar should be directly above your wrist joint.

This. Try and keep your wrists as vertical as possible and rest the bar on the balls of your thumbs.

Same problem here. I feel like I make no progress (relative beginner) because my wrists always hurt when I benchpress and my muscles don't feel sore at all since I can't add weight due to my wrists.

That's a sure way of making keeping them straight pretty much impossible as the bar goes down.

The trick is to twist your hands so that they end up perfectly straight when the bar is at its lowest point. The bar should rest on the outmost side of your hands, not the inner.
