I started doing 5/3/1 a couple of years ago, but I have stalled.
At a body weight of around 200, I can solidly put up 315 for 4 reps, and have done 355 for a single.
I want a 4 plate bench this year and in not getting younger. I've been reading about:
Smolev Jr, Louie Simmons, etc.
Which programs/principles do you stronger guys like. I can un-rack, go down, press up and finish strong.
My noticeable issue is that once I get to 275 or above, I hesitate on the descent. I feel stress and weakness in my biceps of all issues.
My training partner says I'm wasting a good buy of energy trying to get settled in.
But the descent seems to be my sticking point.
Any suggestions?
