I’m finishing up my second FT blast, all my loading sets (and MRs) have been steadily increasing except for bench press, including my other chest exercises. My bench has always been crap especially compared to my other lifts and increased super slowly over the years. For whatever reason, it seems gains on bench much are much more neurologically driven for me than other exercises, and I’ve found myself unable to progress on it without more frequent practice (my numbers on it since starting FT have been 240x8, 245x7, 245x7, 245x6). I plan on swapping it out now. I used to bench weekly before starting FT for reference. I totally agree with everything Scott posted above about cycling loading lifts, just wanted to share this insight with Pumped.
