No, because when you get 315, you will be satisfied for like… a day. Then it the weight will be upped. 495 for reps here we come!
Tru dat Bug, I can already see it, I’ll hit 315, get off the bench, say “fuck yeah” and pat myself on the back. After that will begin the planning for 405!
I must be weird then, because after I benched 315, I was kind of relieved, i had been chasing that since i was sophomore in high school, so once it was done, I decided I was kinda done with flat bench barbell pressing, at least for a while.
Flat benching with a barbell tends to hurt my shouders, and it doesn’t do much for me aesthetically, hits pretty much just my lower pecs, and who out there is pushing for more lower chest mass ?
Im a natural presser though, and I know it will always be there for me when I wanna go back.[/quote]
I don’t think that’s weird, I think it’s just different goals. Right now I don’t give two shits about how I look aesthetically. I want to put on size and gain strength.
And at my size, benching 315 ain’t shit. I use to hate benching, it hurt my shoulders, I have long arms, I suck at it, blah, blah, blah. But ever since I’ve changed my form, worked on setting up properly, I’ve started to like benching again.
