You need to change it up. You've platued. In others words: you workout has stagnated.

Try something else. Try using DBs instead of BBs. Try dropping flat benching for a while. Try doing some triceps isolation work (if you're not already). Try changing your resting rate, weight, or tempo.

Just try something else.

thnkx for the heads up!!


anyhow, I don't care too much about working out no more, it was just something for me to whine about.

aesthetically, I'm at 90% of my overall goal. I just need to shed a lil more BF and I'd be satisified.

 

[Doublebase]

250lbs. Yeaup. I'm huge.

 

[KelJu]

I did 315x5 recently, but I don't know what my max bench is.

You should try to develop a life-long interest in weight training. You're only 23 and think you've got "forever" in front of you, but take these words to heart: You're going to grow old and the only fountain of youth is weight training.

True story ... at 47 years of age I still live life like I was in my 20's solely because I kept up my exorcise routines.

 

[mk_iron]

no spot

Most I've done was 180kgs or 396lbs for 9reps
but get this.....NO SPOTTER
no one spots for me so I just lift untill I find the wieght easy then move up
and yes I do have some scary moments but no spotter keeps you focused!!!lmao

[aboutmuscle]

Im just got back into my training after 2 -3 year break. been going about a month and a half now benching just short of 200lbs used to be able to push about 240 - 260 hoping to get back upto that in the next couple of months.

 

[Twice The Speed]

[joehardbody]

My personal record is 350 weighing 175lbs, 5'10" and was 44 years old. I got 305 last Monday weighing 170lbs. and am 49 years old.

 

[maturemuscle]

52 years old, 315 x 8 and 405 for a 1 rep max on flat bench in the gym. During a bench contest in November '09 for my third lift I benched 375 with a pause at the bottom.

 

[mattskaien]

Im 21, 5'9 150lbs and my 1 RM is 225

 

[Captn'stabbin]

been injured lately so i lost some strength. 5'11 185lbs. I would guess around 315+ i haven't maxed in years. I can hit 105 db's for 7-8.

 

[MAC24/7]

400

 

[GearsMcGilf]

When juiced at around 250 last summer, I could hit 425x3 and squat 495x6. So, prolly around 445 for a 1RM. Right now, I can still hit 405 at 228 on BP.
