i'm gaining like mad man.. i been averaging 10lbs a week on my bench.. late july -- 135, late sep -- 245.. reppin, not 1rm.. great, i'm loving it.. muscle memory is a wonderful thing.. but when am i goin to start slowing down? by bench 2 years ago was 235

also, how much increase should i expect on something like bench, each week or month? if i remember correctly, i was improving around 10 a month back during sophmore year, 2 years ago but that was with an unprecise diet (i ate lot which was good, but not the correct food) and i benched more than 2x a week.. is 15-20lbs a month reasonable?

Eventually you'll plateau. Then you'll have to change your diet/workout.

whatd you workout look like that you went from 135 to 245 or what supplements...

bb flat bench, db incline, dips.. that was the core

then i did some cable flyes (i know, i know.. they're pointless, that's why i stopped)

no supplements, just good ol' food

it was muscle memory that brought me back up so fast
