When I started bodybuilding 20 years ago I could hardly bench 90 pounds. And to give you bit motivation: my way frmo there to 300 was much, much harder than from 300 to 400!
Last week I hit 415, which isn’t a huge load, but where the serious weights begin, at least.
You read about Wendlers 5/3/1 progam? Run a search for it here on T-Nation.
Last week I did the following:
264 x 3
286 x 3
308 x 3
330 x 3
352 x 3
374 x 3
396 x 3
407 x 3
415 x 1 no more fuel, but new PB
then some “growth work”, which means 4 sets of 5 with around 350.
is that what you did covering the whole week or in one day?[/quote]
On chest day. I work chest once every 5 days. I usually do something like 6-10 sets of 1-3 reps, ramping the weight up every set, followed by 5 sets of 5 resp. I might add some weighted dips, but normally just do one exercies per bodypart.
its a fail so far…i tried today and got stuck midway!! i stopped all chest exercises for the day and ill try again Thursday! i bumped up the intensity on flat bench to 270… i know what the problem is. ive been off since Friday(out of town for Christmas). i should be ashamed of myself! i gotta get this!!
ill try to bring pic and vid but no promises i usually work out at the gym on a military facility. its empty at night. (in regards to the ct chukula and sickabs forum)

LMAO.
I was going to say post a vid, but NOT to call you out. Post a vid because we could probably alter your technique a little (whether it be decreasing stroke, or using leg drive, etc) to eek out those 10lbs.
lol yeah im not a big fan of sickabs either, so i figured i better do my part somewhat. if i can get one of my fat co-workers to record i will. again its a military facility i need to see if they allow recording devices in that building.
