Bench been off past couple weeks even though everything else is moving fine. Sleep and food are solid. Just a phase or something I should fix?
Yeah I had a stretch like that recently. Everything else felt strong but bench just felt heavy for no reason. Usually just a phase.
Bench is super sensitive compared to other lifts. Small stuff like shoulder fatigue or setup being off can throw it off quick.
Check your volume. If you’ve been pushing a lot lately, chest/tris might just be fatigued even if you don’t feel it.
Happens to me when my shoulders are beat up. Even if you’re not sore, it can mess with your pressing strength.
Yeah that might be it honestly. Been hitting shoulders pretty hard lately, didn’t think it would affect bench this much.
Could also be mental. Bench is one of those lifts where if you’re not locked in, it just feels off.
Makes sense. Might back off a bit this week and focus on form instead of pushing weight and see if it comes back.
Good call. Take a lighter week, tighten up your setup, and it’ll probably bounce back quick. Bench just be like that sometimes.
