Tip for fast bench progress. Gain a stack of weight. Nothing gets the bench going up quickly like weight gain.

I notice the current and ex fat bastards (like me :) .. on the forum seem to have better benches typically compared to their squat & dead. (I can't prove that, it's just a sense i get)

I've read your log, I think it would be fair to say your bench is higher then your dead and squat because you do 3 x the amount of volume on bench then you do the other lifts.

Well lately i do fly's, bicep curls and various other gym bro things :), but pure calorie burn and general fitness is about where i'm at at present (once i get back into it this year on saturday)

But going back to before my log (wavy lines) ... Even when i was 16/17 i didn't struggle overly much with bench, 17 and around 85kg's I benched around 80 within a few weeks of ever going to a gym (for reps) .... I still struggle more to squat that than i ever did to bench it.

All good mate just pointing out the obvious, if you trained those lifts they would progress.
 
I practiced decline and put 20 kgs on my flat bench in 6 months. If your sticky point is mid way set pins on rack midway and practice exploding off them same as if its the bottom. Be carefull of shoulders exploding from bottom start off with 50% off your normal weight u pump out 10 reps with.

Did he give a reason?
Seems like something someone would have a good reason for lol.
Also coefficient scores only really work well for the total, not individual lifts

Doubt it. Not sure his height, isnt he 5'10 or something? Im 6'3 / 98kg (in gym clothes + shoes + fluids). And id say height is detrimental to bench anyway. In before research bomb.
