Eh, bench is a useless stat anyway.

 

size doesn't matter. i seen 5'5'' guys knock the **** outta guys 6' and taller.

just because u little/big doesn't make u any stonger or weaker then the person next to you.

BFS try that work out program. helped me a lot abck in HS.

its like 3 days a week. 3 sets or 3 reps. next week is 5 sets or 5. then its like 3-5-1..etc. 3 cores. 6 auxs. i could get it done in 80 mins. hell of a work out. and im 5'10 155... i was almost benching 200. just remember if u add 2 1/2 everytime u lift u should be able to go as high as u wnat.

 

I'm gonna try out the pyramid thingie to increase bench :eek3:

 

go all week: 3 sets 3 reps
next week go: 3 sets 5 reps
afetr that go: 3 sets first set 5 next set 3 last set 1
finally go 3 sets: first set 10 second set 8 last set 6

 

increasing weight each week or what?

 

here's my typical pyramid method for flat bench w/a barbell. i dont go for a gung ho max anymore.

set 1: 12 reps x 135lbs
set 2: 10 reps x 185lbs
set 3: 6 reps x 225lbs
set 4: 4 reps x 245lbs
set 5 (dropdown/burnout): 8 reps x 135lbs

 

It will take time to get up to you body weight, but if you put in the time you'll get there no problem. If your lifting over 25lbs of what you weight that's pretty decent.

I'm 285 6'5 and bench 335max

 

i think that's too light (intensity)...even for a beginner

 

I need to do that then drink protein shakes to make my farts rank :exnbp:

 

also give negative resistance a shot...instead of pushing up, concentrate on bringing it down SLOWLY and in control. make sure you have a spotter though.
