Work with me directly and get personalized coaching: ➡️ https://tapthe.link/coachingyt Today, I'm celebrating a huge personal best: 160kg for 12 reps on the bench press—my best performance on this lift since turning 40! This achievement isn't just about lifting heavy; it's about smart programming, avoiding plateaus, and training for longevity. In this video, I reveal my philosophy behind phasing in high-rep, high-volume work to build a stronger bench, even after years of training. I'll break down: The Plateau Problem: Why spending too much time on low-rep strength work can halt your progress and how to fix it. Strength vs. Hypertrophy: The critical difference between the two and how building bigger muscles increases your potential for strength. The Power of High Reps: Why high-rep sets (5-30 reps) are crucial for building muscle, giving your joints a break from heavy loads, and preventing injury. Advanced Bench Press Technique: I demonstrate a "flared elbow" dumbbell press to specifically strengthen the pecs in their most vulnerable, stretched position—a technique borrowed from bodybuilding to prevent injuries. The "Take Your Gains and Run" Rule: After hitting a big milestone, I explain why it's best to stop while you're ahead to avoid an adrenaline dump and poor subsequent sets. Rewriting the Rules of Longevity: At 43, I discuss how I'm still progressing by adapting my training—spending more time on warm-ups and reducing my overall volume. This is the exact information I use in my own training and with my clients. It proves that with a smart approach, you can continue to get stronger, no matter your age or experience.
