    Talking Benchpress increase for a woman?

    There is a benchpress comp here locally at the end of March and they have no weigh ins for the women...the top weight pushed last year was 135 and currently I can only push 95 one time...and it aint easy is it possible for me to gain that much on bench in such a short time? How should I go about doing it....I wanna go in there and kick ass so I need lots of help!!!

    If there is no weigh in, get fat. Hahahaha.

    Read up on what the guys are doing. Alot of people will increase their strength without increasing much in mass, so you won't have to worry about looking bulky. Low reps is the key.

    I would try to add 5 to 10 pounds to my bench every week.

    I don't want to say it's impossible, but not very likely is a pretty accurate description. That's like a 50% increase in under 2 months. I would just work at it and try to compete the following year.

    what about a 200lb man...eating clean and taking creatine? My boyfriend is wanting to compete this year also...but his benchpress is a weak point...he can't even bench his weight yet...I think he can push 140-150 right now, and he is wanting to hit 200 by the end of March....whattya think?
