I know it probably sounds ridiculous. When my boyfriend, Alex, said he'd have me pushing 150 pounds on the bench by the end of the year I laughed too. But now I'm starting to think it might be possible. I started by learning a completely new competition-style form today. With an arched back it's much easier to recruit the legs and core when pushing up the bar. You can literally drive with your whole body. The shoulders are also put in a much more natural position, which facilitates the motion and reduces the stress across the joint. Lastly, the position actually brings the chest off of the bench by about 2 inches so that you don't have to bring the bar down quite as far. Today I just worked on form. I'll start adding more weight to the bar next week.
