Why do I suck at the bench?
After a horrendous bench workout this evening I decided to flip to very first page of my training log. On Feb 13, 2010 I benched 215 for 3x5 and presently I'm incapable of benching anything more than 230 for 3x5. Why can't I make any kind of meaningful progress on this lift? My other lifts seem to progress slowly but consistently. A few months ago I picked up some micro plates but using them hasn't translated to any real progress. With almost 2yrs of lifting behind me Im pretty embarrassed to say that my 5rm isn't even 10lbs heavier than my bodyweight.
