I've been doing starting strength for awhile now. my squats and deadlift has been steadily increasing whereas my bench press and dumbell exercises have barely increased 5-10lb. If I add another 5lb I fail at the 4th or 5th rep depending on the day.
I've finally realized my arms are way weaker than what they should be and I need them to catch up to the rest of my body first. Any recommendations on how I should go about it?
Only constraint is I go to the gym every other day. Don't have time for everyday workout. I'm at 25lb dumbells, i typically fail at 1st/2nd set for 30lb.
And I'm at 105lb bench press, I fail at 5th rep first set. I have friends spot.
Upper body often progresses more slowly than lower body. What do you weigh currently, what are you eating on a typical day, how long have you been training?
