160KG 3×5 BENCH PRESS | CHEST & BACK FOR A BIGGER BENCH

Chest & back for a bigger bench press. Today was more of a hypertrophy-focused bench day, with the goal of building muscle, getting more time under tension and adding some higher-volume work to support my bench press. Worked up to 160KG for 3 sets of 5 and completed all three sets. I kept the reps controlled and didn’t rely on much leg drive or explosiveness, focusing more on keeping tension through the chest and making the chest do the work. After bench press, I moved into a series of supersets to build some volume and work capacity: Dips + lat pulldowns Barbell rows + dumbbell flyes Pullovers Shorter rest periods, higher reps and plenty of supersets made this a proper old-school chest and back workout. I’ve found that having more muscle and better work capacity can both contribute to a bigger bench, so not every session needs to be heavy singles and low reps. Sometimes you just need to build the engine. 💪🏻 #powerlifting #benchpress #strengthtraining #gym
