So heavy days the rep range to fail at 4-6 reps.

Light days failing at 15-20 reps.

I Always go to failure though, I don't believe in stopping short of maximal stimulation, no homo.

lmao at maximal stimulation

monster wrists indeed
possibly over8"

Met Reg in person several times... in 1986 at a local gym seminar and in 1989 at the Arnold... shook his hand.  Definitely had 8"+ wrists... big meat hook hands too.  Bill Pearl had the same.

easy 20. but repping kind of fast. I am not very tall so I have a shorter range of motion like franco columbu. I can go 325 for 5 reps.

good stuff brother

i'm just starting this with my heavy day being 3-4 all out sets for 3-5 reps, and 3-4 all out sets for 15-20 reps on my light day

Yeah I like this style a lot. Everyone just responds better for me than a traditional "8 reps on everything" routine.

I can do 27 reps of 225  at 212 BWT at 47 yrs.old.
Always been a decent bencher, not a freak, but decent. The problem I have is that my tri's start cramping up at about 20 -22 reps which are really easy, then the last 5 or so I struggle. Getting old bites !

Nope, relatively long stroke - definitley lean towards an ectomorph type of build

Nice comment about the "short arms though" :)

It would be great if monster wrists were what it took to lift lots of weight in the bench because mine are 9". Sadly, there is no way I could hoist 500 lbs. on the bench for even one rep.
you also need to have muscles

Ascending pyramid, working my way up to 225, I would be able to do at least 8 reps.   Reverse pyramid, starting right at 225 after a quick warmup, I could do at least 11 reps.

About 6 years ago a few of my friend where discussing athletes at the NFL combine and how there was no way some of these guys could pump out twenty something reps without being on something.  It sparked an interest in me so I geared my entire chest and tri routine around this one exercise for a month which was a total of about 8 chest and tri workouts and the best I could get being 100% natural was 26 reps.
