i fail when the weight gets too heavy for me to bench it. what should i do??:slight_smile:

SQUATS AND MILK!!!

babies drink milkā€¦ real men drink beer!!

I believe it goes something like this:

Milk is for babiesā€¦When you grow up you have to drink beer. :wink:

and i think you are supposed to pronounce ā€œbabiesā€ like baaa baaas and ā€œbeerā€ like beeee-a .

Try harder.

but iā€™ve been trying the same program for two weeks now and iā€™m not getting any stronger. iā€™m thinking about cutting my calories from 1000 back to 800 or so.

thoughts??

Youā€™ve probably reached your genetic potential or are just a hard gainer. Sorry.

you are probably right. i think i will settle for hawt abs instead. i just saw that movie Fight Club. brad pitt is so built in that one.

I finished Thibā€™s Beast Building routine about 2 weeks ago. I tested my bench press max before starting BB and hit 240lbs for 1 rep. I started WS4SB3 last week, and worked up to 245lbs for 3 reps (approximately 270lb 1RM) on my first max effort upper body day.

So, roughly a 30lb increase, if you go with the approximation of a 1RM from a 3RM.

floor pessing every other week instead of using a bench. go wel beyond what u can do(make sure u have spotters)- this will help u slowly lower the weight to the bottom, if u go to fast, u will crush ur elbows. ive used this technique to push my bench from 281 to 402 in 7 months at 242lb. the theory behind it is or at least i got out of it was i was forced to use my lats to to bring it down-pause-the lats to get started and let triā€™s do the rest. just one tool for u to use.

Sounds intriguing to meā€¦ I try in vain to use my lats to lower the weight, and I have a hard time firing the triceps. Might help me.
