Any help with Bench.

poloblue22 · 06-22-2005, 11:26 PM

Currently for the summer I am strictly trying to lose weight but my bench has come to my attention and I have never been good at it, and to be honest I have never tried hard on it either.

Right Now I weigh 209 and am 6'1 I can do one 45lbs one each side with no problems and if I add one 10lbs on each side I struggle at it but still manage.

As for eating this is my eating:

Meal 1:
one egg + 4 egg whites
1/2 cup of oats
.5tbs of olive oil
2 fish caps
1 apple

Meal 2:
1/2 cup of cottage cheease
walnuts

Meal 3:
Tuna without mayo wrap or on a wheat bread 6"

Meal 4:
2 eggs +4 egg whites
.5tbs olive oil

Meal 5:
3/4 cup of oats
Whey
2 fish caps

After workout:
Whey
banana

My question is I am not maxing out with anything and the movements I am doing are to get me the cut I am going for and to lose weight, is it possible to get my bench up to 200lbs by end of summer with the diet I am currently on.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

List your training routine.

Try DB's and Incline presses. What does your chest routine look like? How is the rest of your program?
