Hiya Steve

I know it sounds daft but breathing in on the way down with the bench and exhaling when pushing, doing this right can really help get the size and gains that you deserve.

Also, for your basic brute strength, try reverse pyramid sets or supersets. Drop the weight down every time you get to failure, but on the lighter reps try and do one more rep than the previous one.

I look like an idiot sometimes when trying to squeeze out one more rep on 40 kg, fighting for my life lol, but strength gains are noticeable. This will help you get the better gains.

Let us know how it goes mate!
