  • Just keep benching every day. You'll eventually be able to bench more weight.

  • how much do you weigh? do pushups and work on lifting your own bodyweight and that'll increase your potential for lifting heavier weights

  • You are adding the weight of the bar onto this as well, right? Just because all the barbells I know of are 45-55 lbs at least.

      • If you're adding 10 kg to both sides, then you aren't factoring in the weight of the bar as well.

        Also, how many repetitions are you doing of this?
