Learn what those people are actually doing with their better form that contributes to the lift. Clenching your scapula together, driving your feet into the ground, maintaining a strong arch, and changing your bar path. Watch John Haak bench or check some of the Westside Barbell guys out.

honestly don’t have a video rn. im 18 as well and max is ~185 although i never really PR. Is there anything you do that shot it up? Like benching a lot, dumbbell bench, pause reps, etc? Also 315 is fucking insane good stuff
