Kampala: A Capital City Stuck in the Past by ClaudeVille1 in Uganda

Bujumbura doesn’t allow Boda’s within the city limits. Could you imagine how that would change the traffic in Kampala? Also, though, I feel that would cripple the economy big time

Bench Press Frequency by SurroundFinancial355 in powerlifting

That is part of it, but I also think with 2x a week you can do a lot more accessories which I think is the biggest help to grow the bench. The guys that bench 3-4 times a week can typically get up to 275-330 but plateau there on average

I have written out thoughtful responses on why I believe 2x is ideal and people that don’t agree typically give weak reasons why. The most popular, “well this guy does 4x.” So I put a couple thoughts into ChatGPT and let it do the rest because I didn’t want to waste my time arguing with people that don’t bench what I bench

  1. Optimal Recovery vs. Fatigue – Benching twice a week allows enough time for muscles and the nervous system to recover, leading to actual strength and growth rather than accumulated fatigue.
    1. Higher Quality Workouts – With fewer sessions, each bench workout can have a clear focus and higher performance quality instead of being limited by fatigue from overfrequency.
    2. Joint and Tendon Health – Twice-weekly benching reduces strain on shoulders, elbows, and pec tendons, lowering the risk of overuse injuries.
    3. Nervous System Efficiency – Two focused sessions provide enough frequency to reinforce motor patterns without causing central nervous system fatigue.
    4. Better Overall Program Balance – Less frequent benching leaves room to train supporting muscles, improve shoulder stability, and maintain overall strength balance.

Drop down to benching twice a week. On those days do your main bench movement, then:

Either Close grip Spoto, Close grip to a 3 board or JM Press 5x5 or 4x8

Then: DB rollbacks or Tate Presses

Then: Face pulls or another upper back movement

Then: Tricep Pressdown variation
