    Just keep benching every day. You'll eventually be able to bench more weight.

    Thats not good, I've just started training a new client and he is up at about 70kg after one week.

    how much do you weigh? do pushups and work on lifting your own bodyweight and that'll increase your potential for lifting heavier weights

    You are adding the weight of the bar onto this as well, right? Just because all the barbells I know of are 45-55 lbs at least.

        If you're adding 10 kg to both sides, then you aren't factoring in the weight of the bar as well.

        Also, how many repetitions are you doing of this?
