sup /fit/
I need some tips on how to improve my bench now that I'm no longer a skinny faggot that doesn't eat enough (hopefully I can get to 2 pl8s by the end of the year)
some q's:
does volume help a lot with bench?
if so, would doing a bunch of pushups a day (eg 200-300) carry over to my bench? and if not are there other good lifts that would carry over to benching if done frequently? or is it best to just do high volume benching?
how frequently/intensely should I bench if I choose to prioritize it (doing 2x a week, currently)?
how do I reconcile trying all the variations of bench (floor, decline, incline, etc.) with driving progression in the main lift?
and lastly, does bench carry over to the press? how about the other way around? I'm just curious bc I'd like to see my press go up to 1.5 pl8s but I'm already struggling to do more than a pl8 for 5 reps
bench has always lagged behind the other lifts but now that I'm making an effort to eat more and get good sleep I'm seeing gains again, so thanks for any insight you guys may have

ok, I guess that means keep frequency high to perfect the movement pattern?
would love some more advice (bumping w annie's boobs)

Grease the groove is usually done at 50% of your max intensity, so choose the hardest pushup variation you can do, for ten reps, and do four-five every day, say every hour, or every time you go to the kitchen.

oh ok I'll try that out this week. how would this apply to the bench? should I have a day where I go at 50% @ high volume and then another day where increase intensity?
thanks again

If you have access to a Bench every day, every 1-2 hours you can apply gtg to it, if not just continue doing your bench program, and use gtg with pushups on other days. Gtg isn't meant to be done when fatigued however and it will fuck up recovery from heavy lifts. If you haven't progressed as far as weighted one arm one leg push-ups, they are still a good alternative to bench. If I made up a program off the top of my head, (gtg = pushups),
Mon - gtg,
Tues - gtg grip work
wens - gtg
thurs - gtg gripwork
fri - rest
sat - Bench gripwork (max)
Sun - rest
But this is total bullshit
