hey bro, is that you flexing? If it is, It looks a little touched up. Especially seeing you say you can only bench 175lbs.

Lightweight frame, good angle to shoot the arm from, I'd believe it.

Yep when you see the shot here you can see he has a lightweight frame and extremely lean. At his age, he looks great though, and excellent abs. He is still young, but definately on the right track for being a great bodybuilder someday. But Mudge is right, when you see the picture here, and you see a closeup of his arm at the right angle it makes one look much larger. Again, not to say he doesn't have a good physique.

Yep, my arms look big if I do that :D There are a few tricks to make yourself look better, you figure them out as you take more pix.
 
47 yrs old, currently 6'3" 198lbs max = 255

I am going to try the Shawn Phillips routine where he says you
can increase bench by 50 lbs in 50 days.

anyone try this yet ?

I always did my worksets in the 10-12 range, but he goes real heavy
under this routine. 2 and 3 reps and some negatives with a spotter.

Yes, if you want power, then dont fiddle around with this 10-12 rep balogna.
 
Many have tried the MM2k bench program, it's been around for years. Some have had success, many like myself overtrained on this program. Too many reps to failure IMO. If you currently do 10-12 reps for bench, just start cycling your workouts to include lower reps. For a couple of weeks do 6-8 reps, the next few weeks 4-6, then a couple of weeks of 1-3 reps. Then try a max single. Your max will go up.
 
Thanks Mudge and Devil, I appreciate all of the experience
of the old (? ? ?) and wise veterans here.

Onward to new and higher limits.
 
22 yrs. old, 175 lbs., 280 bench

that was really pushing it. If it was one gram more I couldn't have done it. Luckily the guy that was spotting me is crazy, he wasn't going to touch the bar unless it fell back on my chest. Some guys will grab it off you if you don't throw it up really quick.

Edit: and I'm 5'11''

And guess what? I've got a bigger chest than all the guys in my gym benching 315.

Nice benching dude ! ! !


The link is working for me too.
 
I haven't maxed in a while but last time I hit 245lbs 3 times totally clean. I am 19 and about 5'9" and weigh in at 158lbs. I bet I can hit 265 but I am not maxing anytime soon. I don't see any purpose in it.
