Well everyone will respond differently, but what really worked for me a while back was actually taking a break. I lifted pretty hard for my chest, took a week off of chest, came back and hit it hard. I was expecting to max out one rep with 335, since I figured my muscles would have shrunk or whatever since they hadn't been trained for like 2 weeks. I came up and got 6 reps out of something I figured was gonna be my 1rm. I was phyched to say the least
But that was the longest time I'd gone without benching for about 2 years hehe, so I was more than you could say overtrained I think heh.

And considering it sounds like he's going for high school football (right?) I'd hope you guys wouldn't reccomend any anabolics....

When you fail on a press do you fail at the bottom or top of the lift?

Yeah what D said. You have to find your weak point in the lift and work on that. If it's the transition point from where your pecs give out and the triceps take over, then you have to address the triceps. You have to make sure that in your tricep program that you are starting from a tight bicep curl point. Try three part tricep extensions.
If it's your pecs, then try thee part bench or three part pec deck.
Also try doing some lower pec work like weighted dips. Just remember to lean forward and have your elbows out for more pec stress. Don't let the weight swing. Only cheating yourself like that.

take creatine about an hour before you lift. i'd take at least4-5 days off from lifting before the competition too. if you can get your hands on it, get an eca stack or energy. i did 10 more pounds than i'd done before on the day of my football bench competition. these things just gave me a little extra to help i think.

anyone have any suggestions on a diet change he could make?
