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.

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.Last edited by LAM; 05-24-2002 at 01:39 AM.
I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

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.
I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

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...

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.Last edited by powerrack; 05-23-2002 at 01:46 PM.
