How do I get my bench up?

80% is diet/20% is how you train. if your only 150lbs then you need to be eating alot more calories! 3500-4000cals split into 6-7 meals and shakes through the day...eat clean but eat alot! Your body can only grow and get stonger if you feed it to do so.

As for training one thing you need to realize is that some guys can bench heavy and others cant....this doesnt mean you wont ever be able to bench 225 but what is you real goal? is it to be a powerlifter or to be big? most guys only want to have a big bench because of ego but also want to look like a bodybuilder...well the body doesnt work that way. If I were you I would stick to the 6-10 rep range, focus on control and working the muscle and with time it will come as long as you diet is good...ass weight or reps every week and you will grow.

If you have been stuck at the same weight for a long time you prob are either not eating enouph or not workint your body type properly...I personaly respond much better to reps in the 6-12 reps range than I do in the 3-5, I grow much faster this way and my strength goes up much faster....I might not ever be able to bench 405lbs for one but I can rep 275lbs with perfect form at 195lbs

Very well put. I always knew my diet is my biggest problem, it's something I'm working on. I was 140 about a month ago so I have made some progress, but I really do need to eat much more and I know that. My goal is really to look good to be honest, I just want to be a beast at 180 lbs, that is my life goal. Key word life, I know it won't happen over night.

I also feel i respond better to 6-12 reps with perfect form then 3-5 with half broken form, wondering if I am going down far enough half the time... but then my peers always tell me well you need to put on more weight, you have been stuck on this much forever, and I have..
