should have done more but I was in a hurry

did some lock-outs with 275 and a negative with 315
complete waste of time

work sets
225 x 10
135 x 14

comments
This was the first time I've done bench in a week. That's the longest I've gone since I started last August. I think I could have got 315 had I tried. This workout sucked.

No particular reason. I still spend most of my time at the other place

No progression on 315. In fact, I think I got further up last time. PR on 225 though.

How often do you bench & what is the rest of your routine?From what you've shown you waste to much time on the chump weight.Do you really expect to get a personal best on your 7th set?


TRY THIS---FLAT BENCH 135/12, 185/5, 220/5, 250/3,@ this pt you should be ready to try 315/1 or 2(if you feel cocky).If you can get 225/11,then you're already able to get 315/1,you've just been wearing yourself out before to soon.After you reach your 315 attempt & get it, then you can do a backoff/repout set if you want.

 

[Fart Barker]

Here is my current routine...

Monday - Bench Press
Tuesday - OFF
Wednesday - OFF
Thursday - Bench Press
Friday - OFF
Saturday - OFF
Sunday - OFF


>>> 135/12, 185/5, 220/5, 250/3
I might give that a try the next time I max out. Thanks.

Don't you work any other bodyparts??If you neglect everything else for the sake of a big bench you'll never get there.The body works as a unit.Maybe you should pick up a powerlifting magazine or maybe go to "Powermagonline".I'm sure there are some powerlifters around your gym that might give a little advice if asked.
I worked for a big bench too when I first started until it was explained to me that if you make the rest of the body synergistically strong, your bench will go higher.You'll be surprised at how much squatting &deadlifting will help your bench #'s.

Hes tryng to build the most perfect physique though bench and curls.

 

[Fart Barker]

Up until a couple of weeks ago I was deadlifting as well. I've done all those propoganda, so-called mass-builder lifts (squats, rows, chins). I can assure you that the best way to increase your bench is to bench, bench, bench, & bench. Although, I might start doing barbell curls again just because I love them so much. I lift at my house so there's not anyone around to tell me how stupid I am.

I will bench 500 pounds.

 

[rks1969]

500lbs is something you'll never see except in your dreams if you go @ it like you currently are.Get out of the house & find some reality.
Since there's no one around to tell you how stupid you are,there won't be anyone around to pull off the bar you'll end up stuck under.
!!!!!!STUPID!!!!!

I've got a power rack so I don't have to worry about getting stuck under the bar.

I will bench 500 pounds.

So what if he doesnt let him try fo gods sakes. Hes better than 99% of the pop. look at his before and after pics.

 

[realdeal]

so why do u want to bench 500? Is it to calm your ego down so you can tell everyone that you can bench 500? I dont understand your theory behind it, can u please tell me.

I've seen his pics & they were pretty good,but be real,short term goals are the best way to go to stay away from complete disappointment.Knowing what you want is a good thing,but incremental goals are best.


FARTBARKER,I think you're nuts ;GOOD LUCK ANYWAY!!!!

 

[Orange357]

oh explain your ingenius H.I.T style MR.Barker!!!

 

[Fart Barker]

I moved my journal back to wbb and once again dumped my bench & curl routine. Seems that I can't stick with any routine longer than a week.



Orange357,

You da Man!



rks1969,

Thanks for the advice. I will modify my warmups for max bench.

 

[AKIRA]
