Approaching 400 on bench

Don't go into this thinking bench variations are the only thing you need to do. Your triceps need to be hit hard, some bicep work, some shoulder work and also back work. Look at a big bencher and they all have two things in common. A wide back and mostly big arms.

Now I am not close to a 400+ bench, but my bench is moving well right now and I think it's because of my accessory work. Weighted dips, over head, heavy dumbbell work. French press, skull crushers. Also if you are doing a lot of pushing, you need to balance with some high pulling accessories. Cable face pulls, strict pendlay rows, things that will fire up those rear delts. Also just lat work in general.

Yeah my PR is 435 as well so right now I'm riding some muscle memory through a linear style progression. I'm a big believer in close grip bench for over all bench strength. I was just curious as to what supplemental lifts work for the average joe. I've played with floor presses once or twice but that's it. I'm studying hard to prepare for when I hit the wall with my bench.

Don't worry about them. They do Smith machine.
