I have no experience benching 300 lbs, but I found the body weight fitness group on reddit a few months ago and it's made a huge difference progress-wise and with my overall outlook on working out (still can't bench 300lbs... yet. ).
The foundation of that program --- progressive overload, big compound moves as opposed to (for example) annihilating your biceps with a million curls, 'resting hard' and not needing the p90x-like 6 day routine --- has all really clicked, including a few trainer channels on youtube, at least for my beginner/n00b self who was stuck in the 90s marketing campaign of working out (the few times I've actually tried to). |

My 4 days of lifting start with either bench, military press, squats or deadlifts. The big 4. This never changes.
I also add in variations of these lifts on other days so I end up squatting, benching and deadlifting some variant 2x per week. |

It feels kind of awkward at first. It feels like you’re hanging out over nothing. But once you get comfortable I was able to lift far more with it than I ever could straight bar squat. Some of it could be I can’t do anything like I could when I was 18, but it was different. Plus the weight sits better. In high school I was pretty skinny and the straight bar sat on my spine which hurt. Where as the safety pad put it up on my traps which was better. BTW I’m 6’3 with ridiculously long legs. I don’t know the kinesiology behind it, but it worked for me. A million years ago. |

When I started, my T was lowish, but not criminally low (it was 315). The TRT fixed my problems though. |
