I Failed My 167,5kg PR: The New Plan to Hit 180kg

Is a 180kg bench press possible? In this video, I'm pulling back the curtain on my real world amateur powerlifting training, specifically what happens when a PR attempt goes wrong. After successfully hitting two singles in 160kg and reached my first goal, I attempted a 167,5kg bench press PR-and failed. In this Vlog, I break down the exact data points that led to that failure, including how sleep deprivation from nightshift work impacted my central nervous system. Instead of pushing through, I went back to the drawing board to build an " Adapted Block " I'm walking you through the changes I made to my bench press program. Including: Increasing bench frequency but specialized bench. Adding targeted triceps lockout work. Overhauling my accessories movements. The importance of strict deload weeks for long term progression. The road to 180kg isn't a straight line. It's about constant data collection and adjusting the training for long term strenght. #powerlifting #benchpress #RoadTo180kg
