I was struggling for weeks with my bench press, every week i did lots of chest presses but always struggled, the progress was definately going backwards.

What worked best for me was the dumbell chest presses, i am much stronger as i have always been when using the dumbells and i concentrate on form and slow lowering rather then just lifting as heavy as i can.
Now, just a few months later i can lift far more then before, probably even double if i tried.

I am a hard gainer, yet i jumped from 80kg in April this year to the 91kg i was this morning using this exercise.
