Exercise Questions - How Can I Increase My Bench Press?

exercise questions Exercise Question:
I'm looking for a way to move my bench press from 375 for 1 rep to 405. Do you have a sure fire way to achieve this goal?

 

exercise questions Exercise Answer:
Wow, that is a very impressive bench press! For your level of strength, you may want to focus on heavy two-arm dumbbell pullovers for really widening the rib cage. You can review this exercise here:

Along with the pullovers, you should focus on deep and heavy squats which forces your body to grow and build strength for many other lifts (bench, military, etc.). I would also recommend focusing on building strength in your secondary muscle groups, such as the triceps. By focusing on specific mass and strength building exercises for the secondary muscles, adding pullovers to expand your ribcage and squats for overall core power, your bench press poundage should increase. Best of luck to you!
