Not sure, I'm using DB and don't go for 1rm but I was doing 275 on decline for 6 last week but my decline has always been as good or better than my flat.



Cool

ians...that's pretty good (ratio of 1.3 ). benching for hypertrophy and PL are 2 different techniques...which do you use ?

while preparing for a meet last year a got 495x3 @ 240 lbs. I never did the meet due to work...

I did get 563 raw @ 229 but that was at a meet in 97 or 98.

My best ever was 305 for 2 reps. That was at the beginning of April. I'm now trying the power matrix workout, and this morning I got 290 for 3 sets of 1. I currently weigh 220, but I was up to around 225 when I got the 305 (the only time in my life that I've ever gone over 300).

CptDL...after your done your matrix routine you might want to give the MM2K routine a shot. I found it to be more "scientific" in it's approach than the power matrix.

Question Question about MM2K

Hey what's up Lam, you sure seem to know alot about pwrlifting. I am completing the MM2K program for the second time and found that it works quite well. Anyways I did this program about 5 months ago and I managed to get 345 at 220 which is good for me. I started the program with a max of 320 as my starting point and I used the tables accordingly. The problem began after the program. I was not sure what kind of work to do to keep my bench up. I kind of continued to go heavy but I got alot weaker and then I started going light and things were just not happening for me. Anyways I restarted the program about a month ago with a max of 320 and I am once again doing the same weights, if not better and I am getting close to finishing the program. I need some advice what to do once I have completed this program. Other workout routines etc.... Your advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks...

i've only been bench pressing for a few weeks and only training for 3 months. At the moment my max bench is 150lbs so what u can bench sounds good to me.

405lbs for 2reps!!

I did that about 4 months ago and have never been able to repeat it, it was one of those lucky days, I can get 385lbs for 2-3reps no problem on most occosians. In my regular training I usually don't go over 360-370lbs.
