HOW TO INCREASE YOUR BENCH PRESS [INSTANT IMPROVEMENT] WITH MIKE RASHID

[@SimeonPanda]

I really want you guys to watch the whole vid for all the pointers, especially my explanation at the end. I truly believe following the tips in this video (unless you are already doing them) will increase your bench press dramatically.

5. Don't listen to person on PED's who has no idea about programming on how to improve your bench, all he said in this video is dun uh train hard, don't spend your energy, do you know any person who doesn't do bench as the first exercise in the gym? Training heavy compounds first thing is common knowledge gosh

[@Logan_Stewart08]

don't necessarily need belt unless doing big weights with arch

[@mauricehobbs9426]

Tried the 10, 5, 3, 2, 1 rep progression today for bench press. 10/10 would recommend!

[@xXPondusGamingFifaXx]

What % weight you use of your 1rpm?

[@just1nth3jb0mb3]

@@xXPondusGamingFifaXx I would probs do it like this, just my opinion and my experience with lifting X10- 65% X5- 80% X3- 85% X2- 87% X1- 90%-93% Recommend do it twice a week, with three day rest period in between to let the muscle re-group. If you’re looking into increasing your bench press significantly and quickly I would look up the Smolov Jr (Bench Press) i use it often. It’ll add 10kg (22lbs) to bench almost guaranteed if done correctly. The way I do it is run the three weeks, two day rest, max out. One week de-load take it easy, a lot of volume. Then kick it back up and do it again based on my new max. Hope this helps!

[@jarod2x]

@@just1nth3jb0mb3 i dont get it i can do 185 for 10 but 65% of my max is155

[@lmaostrnoob]

I can see how mad Simeon was at 10:20 I am the same way when something I usually hit I don’t hit it as many reps or maybe as smooth as I usually do. Sometimes it’s not about you losing strength but you haven’t rested enough between your last lift for full recovery

[@hornet-h3v]

Also about your body hormone levels and glycogen levels etc, which hall depends on your sleep, stress levels and food intake. (quality, timing, quantity) duh

[@lmaostrnoob]

@@hornet-h3v True. But to be honest the gym Simeon said he did 2 reps on, Ive been there before multiple times, and their weights are DEFINITELY much lighter than conventional gym weights even tho they say 45 lbs or whatever. Cuz 315 lbs I did for 7 reps there but at any other gym my max is 5. So he probably just got tricked by the gym weights

Just getting started back after years of wanting do make the change. Love seeing these as it confirms to me that using the bar only isn’t as bad as i thought. I would often walk out of the gym and not go back because i thought I had to be at the same level as the other guys. Thank you for sharing this

[@T20616]

New to the channel and appreciating the knowledge: *STEPS: 1. Warm Up - Prevents injuries and primes your CNS 2. Loose your ego - You shouldn't need a spot for each and every rep 3. Use a belt - Increases and keeps intra abdominal pressure - creates that vacuum with your diaphragm with you breathing and gives you more power 4. Conserve energy - Limit the number of reps leading up to your 1RPM * REPS: 10, 5, 3, 2, 1RPM, Rep out (12)

Mike is 225lb and hitting 4 plates? Damn! Proof that the strength isn’t always necessarily correlated to your weight. I’m about 175lb and still trying to hit 3 plates, that’s my aim for the rest of 2020..... hope there’s no lockdown again to ruin that

[@deking1973]

I want to thank you both for your tips on lifting/bench press. There is one video you both did and I remember Simeon going heavy on dumbbell then he said if we don't try them we will never gonna get them. That changed my all approach. I saw an increase in my bench press for trying. Now I can do 3 plates of 45lbs each side for two reps. I lift 100lbs dumbbell on my incline and growing. Same approach got me to push my squats from 2 to 4 plates. Thank you for getting us to challenge our own fear, drop our ego and achieve what was first seen as not within our range.

If you wanna increase your bench then do weighted push ups they work really well, if you don't have weights then put water jugs in a backpack and do push ups. Trust me if you really want a good bench press you'll get a good one whether or not you have access to a gym, you got this man!!!

Train with 70-80% of your max and slowly build up to 225. Really no need to 1 rep max unless you are a powerlifter.

[@ivanvelez2138]

It's mental battle as well. Reps are great and his approach is beneficial for increase strength but the mind is just as powerful. Try strengthen the mind. It will help you. It did me. Take care and God Bless.

[@GodSpeed1105]

What helps me is getting more confident with bigger increments for squat and deadlift especially going by 45s and 25s only cuz lot of times id overthink and be like idk if I'm ready for that I'll just add 2 10s instead of 25s. And it stopped me from ever going heavier (with good form). With huge strong guys they don't go up by 5s or 10s they usually add 25s and 45s so i want to think that way and feel comfortable doing that. More of a mind game.

These videos are great! Question, has Simeon’s grip widened, which would help in lifting heavier, but has affected pectoral hypotrophy? His grip was always much narrower in older videos, which was amazing how much he was lifting then as it looked way harder. Or was his impressive chest development a result of other additional exercises?
