Did it for a double about two months ago at the end of flat bench just to see what it felt like.  I usually don't go over 245-275 for reps now depending on the type of training.

I have been topping out my sets 10 with 265 lately.
Thats a commendable and strong lift!  I find that I am much better at lower rep ranges than I am at 10.  I still do that high of reps, but the lactic acid builds up around rep 8 making the last 2 especially difficult when I go heavy.

I have a 10 rep range day where all reps are 10, then I have a 5,5,5,2 day and then a 10,8,6,4,3,2 day.

The 10 rep day is by far the most difficult.  I`d like to get my bench numbers up.

have you considered the german model for strength training

10 x 10 at 50 percent of your one max rep

how ever long it takes eg 7 reps then pause then the final three

it works

I have been doing very well with high reps since I started back.

I do a good warmup set at about 18-20, then a 16,14, and shoot for 12... The 265 is just beyond 12 for me... I can do 245 at 12 it seems with no problem, but add that 20 pounds and it's over.

10 is the max.

6 sets is just insane for one exercise.

You are strong like bull.

I did quads, chest, calves and abs today. I'm dieting at the moment so I tend to do more high rep sets which I like a lot. 15x265 I did on the bench.

It sure is whole different story to bench reps with two plates than three( if one is natural ;) )

Adonis buddy. Have you had success on the bench recently?

My "warmup" is usually one set of 135 for like 8, not really doing anything.  I am aware that is probably not enough, but I have never warmed up in my life.  I probably should start doing that.

Now I was being a smartarse in my post above, but honestly if I didn't warm up I'd tear every muscle I'm working LOL.   

I've seen guys come in cold, load a bar with a buncha weight and start going.....never in my life have I been able to do that. 

If I'm gonna work chest I'll start on a flat machine and do about 5-6 sets with increasing weight for 20-30 reps a set.  Even then I'll start chest with something like Hammer Inclines and load four plates and rep 35-40, 6 plates and rep 25-30, 8 plates and rep 20 and then 10 plates and get about 10.  After that I'll still start with sets where I'm still getting 20 reps before I get into rep counts of 4-6.  I gotta be fully warm before I get heavy.

like you when i was younger i was warming up very lightly before my heaviest set and sometimes was not warming up at all.. now i do one light set without counting how many reps but something around like 6 or 7 then one moderate set for only 3 reps then my heaviest set.. and this is before the first exercise only.. no warming up before any other exercise..

I always thought Marfan's was for people with gigantism/extreme height.  I read that Lincoln had it, but for his time he was extremely tall.  A buddy told me he thought I had it when I was younger.  I'm not too far out of proportion, 6'4 with a 6'7-8 wingspan.  Hands are long, feet are long with a Morton's Toe.

There are various ways to try this.
I have done with with a 30 seconds of work, 30 seconds of rest modality.
If you have the right weight, the first 4 sets are fairly easy and it gets progressively more difficult and you should not get 30 seconds of work on the last set.
I have seen tremendous progress from this and I have been lifting for 20+ years.

Chains and bans are not required to increase maximal strength by any means, and are quite pointless. Lifting submaximal weights at maximal speed  with accomodated resistance using chains and bands like he does with his athletes  is for looney tunes...

They are not required to get stronger but they do however work with your natural strength curve and improve power & strength better than any other tools ( if used correctly)

The strongest gym in the world by Louie Simmons uses them and I have used them with good success as well .

Post by: quadzilla456 on November 09, 2012, 07:00:24 PM
Thats a commendable and strong lift!  I find that I am much better at lower rep ranges than I am at 10.  I still do that high of reps, but the lactic acid builds up around rep 8 making the last 2 especially difficult when I go heavy.

I have a 10 rep range day where all reps are 10, then I have a 5,5,5,2 day and then a 10,8,6,4,3,2 day.

The 10 rep day is by far the most difficult.  I`d like to get my bench numbers up.
I've trained with power lifters and this is how they do it. You bench at 50-70% of your max w/ low reps most of your exercise days and once a month you max out. This allows your body to recover. So if your max bench is 315lbs you would train with as low as 175lbs for 3 reps and about 6-8 sets. When you bench you hold your breath for the duration of the three reps. Your feet are dug into the ground and you pull your lats together. Your elbows are lowered to your sides as you bring the bar down. Your triceps are heavily involved.

This method is not great for building pecs but it sure as hell gets your numbers up. Try it one day and you will see. Going for max every workout with 10 reps will result in 0% strength increase - unless you are on drugs. To work the pecs you can do decline presses keeping the elbows back in a more traditional manner to stimulate the pecs.

dumbells are better or a round thick chest
Your shoulders will not be involved as much if you bring your elbows to your sides and tuck them in as the bar goes down. The bar is lowered near the xiphoid process as illustrated below. It becomes more of a tricep /  lat press. To work the pecs I do decline presses with 315 lbs for about 8 reps.

I agree with you if I try to bench with my pecs my shoulders get one hell of a workout.

Strong triceps and strong shoulders is often neglected.

Best way to increase strength is multiple low rep sets though do not go near your max.

and your point? I benched that before I ever saw no chain or band at that age...not the point though

facts are facts, lifting submaximal weights at maximal speed (dynamic methond) does nothing to increase one absolute's strength.

start a thread if you want ....so I can embaress you in front of everyone.

DE method of lifting barbells is not necessary for developing maximal strength. A much wiser choice would be to replace the dynamic effort days with lifting sub maximal weights and not placing an emphasis on bar speed...

the dynamic effort method is just a tool for increasing rate of force development.....period. It does nothing to increase one's 1 rep max....

last time i was in a gym with a bench press i was able to hit 315 for 10..  best i ever did was 315 for 13..  highest was 435 for a single..  these days my chest workout is lots of volume and squeezing on cable crossovers, pec dec, and slight incline dumbell press with palms facing eachother.. 

Have you any videos?

I ask because I roughly that strong but I could not do 435lbs

If the 315 is an all-out max set then there is no way someone who gets 10 reps of that can bench 435x1.  I would put their 1RM in that case at around 400 at most since you're going to lose at least one rep for every 10 pounds you add.

If the 315x10 was preceded by other taxing sets then I could see 435 perhaps.

I always get a kick out of all the jackasses at the gym who'll do 225x8 or so with their platonic lifting parter rowing the last four reps off their chest and afterwards be all "bro I could totally max 400 if I was warmed up / trained PLing" ;D

that too. auxilary lifts do nothing to increase one persons bench press, squat, or deadlift past a certain stage of development. aka increasing weight on your  glute ham raises wont increase your squat or deadlift....im referring to general excercises. Obviously a better good morning will carry over to a better deadlift......nothing like some jackass preaching thats reverse hypers and band leg curls actually make your squat bettter ::)

 You can get stronger using sub maximal weights on the squat bench and deadlift and just doing squat benches and deadlifts in itself...

You are completely 100% wrong.  Are you aware of what the training programs used by Olympic lifters and professional power-lifters are like?  They are much broader than just performing the competition lifts over and over again with various weights.

For example here is Scot Mendelson's "bench press" workout:

http://strongestman.org/?p=207

Is it your contention that his training is suboptimal and he would be better off removing all the non-bench exercises or replacing them with more benching ???

If your point is simply that "you should include Lift X in a workout routine to get better at Lift X" then that is obvious and trivial and no one in the entire thread has taken a contrary position, in which case it is you who is misunderstanding.

Look couching and training people for performance is great, nothing against that, especially for athletic ability but for gaining muscle and strength it is fucken pathetic anybody  that has not been training for 2 years will gain a lot of size and strength by simply moving weight around, you don't need a couch for this or a trainer, it's a joke and if you've been training longer then 2 years you don't need to be trained by then unless you are stupid.

Nothing special there, most people train there shoulder, triceps and pretty much every body part there is anyway, of course you have to, but you don't have to bring in chains and weird odd exercise and claim it's the holy grail

So you're telling that if you're trying to increase your bench, squat, DL, O-lift and you're stuck at a particular weight for a long period of time, just keep doing the same thing until it get's stronger? lol

Look, this is the reason why bodybuilding hasn't really advanced in the way of training. Too many people still stuck in the same mentality as it was 40 years ago. Now, I'm not talking about bodybuilding, I'm talking about increasing power and strength on particular indicator lifts. Your way of thinking is old and outdated.

Look, this is the reason why bodybuilding hasn't really advanced in the way of training. Too many people still stuck in the same mentality as it was 40 years ago. Now, I'm not talking about bodybuilding, I'm talking about increasing power and strength on particular indicator lifts. Your way of thinking is old and outdated. Not trying be a dick when I say this...but do some research.
don't worry your not, lol... you sound like an infomercial. you know the ones at night that have all the answers to getting rich quick, well those are your programs on getting big and strong, don't be gullible, The mentality drives you to excel past your previous best not some mumbo jumbo method, lol

What are you talking about about?

You said you can not up your bench by just benching and I said that is BS, I benched 515 raw and only benched, nothing fancy, just benched. Those theories and rocket science may work, not saying they don't, but they won't work for me that is for sure, all I care about is mentally preparing myself for the set and after that I am a fucken zombie madman possessed doing a set and every time this allows me to go to then next level.
Look couching and training people for performance is great, nothing against that, especially for athletic ability but for gaining muscle and strength it is fucken pathetic anybody  that has not been training for 2 years will gain a lot of size and strength by simply moving weight around, you don't need a couch for this or a trainer, it's a joke and if you've been training longer then 2 years you don't need to be trained by then unless you are stupid.


exactly thankyou for prooving my point.

coach- People got big,strong, and explosive before chains or bans ever existed. I never said that doing assistance excericses for the muscles that are used in the bench press, wont necessarily help increase the bench press.....they will for a beginner. But for someone like onetimehard, to reach a 600 pound raw bench.....after that level of development a highly periodized block program will be necessary. Getting stronger on cable crossovers and tricep extensions, will not get him a 600 pound bench...a newb getting stronger on cable cross overs and tricep extensions, will probably help take his bench from 200 to 250 however. The higher level of development an athlete reaches, the less he benefits from GPP....

LOL, ya but seriously not kissing your ass or anything bro but I consider you probably the most knowledgeable guy here on couching and training and of course for athletic performance and training methods are important but all I am saying that they are not the bread and butter of achieving strength gains.

Like a bodybuilder, he needs to train and he needs to eat to getbig of course that is a given but the genetic elite in strength did not get to world class strength from some lousy training program, I am sorry but they didn't, they had the gentics and the mentality to supercede their limits and to be frank training had very little to do with it, I know it sounds stupid but it is true.

I ran a marathon in 09 and it took me slightly over 4 hours (i know pathetic) now the guy that won did it in less then 3 hours (I think 2;40 or something). Anyway the guy did not run different them me and had I done everything he did in training, would have not made a difference bro. The body functions instinctively and genetically at a world class level, some secret training does not produce the world class athlete, it simply doesn't, these guys are born great and training is just a marginal mandatory tool, nothing more.

Atmosphere helps, but a 145lb 15 year old catcher doesn't just do a 360lbs squat (with bands) and a 205lb (also with bands) on just adrenaline alone (insert drug joke here) ::)

coach is a fucking dumbass. He truly thinks chains and bans will increase your 1rm.....Ill take him to the science books on this shit and own his ass on the topic............ Chains and bans are not required to increase maximal strength by any means, and are quite pointless. Lifting submaximal weights at maximal speed  with accomodated resistance using chains and bands like he does with his athletes  is for looney tunes...

Tell that to the guys Louie Simmons trains you shit stain.  Those guy warm up with your max.

As far as I know Louie has changed his ways......I was referring to the classic westside system. 1 max effort day, one dynamic effort day using weights at 50-60 percent of 1rm at maximal speed for 8-10 sets of doubles...followed my specialization work. I have no idea what goes on at westisde as of 2012....Im referring to old westside, guys who trained there in the 90's and early 2000's..... I know guys that have  left there, and felt they improoved.

 As for the guys at EFS what does that mean? Half the guys on there hate Louie....even ones that trained at  westside. Only guy I know over there that  preaches his old methods is Tate....

I'm surprised everyone's so crazy about 315lb. Its really not that impressive like it used to be. I've seen quite a few guys including myself handling that at the gym no problem.

for any one on steroids, big or small it's not impressive at all..

for any natural it's very good especially if you are a small guy like me lol.. dont tell me every natural guy who is 80 kg can do it for 3 reps.. now at 75 kg i can do it for 2 reps..

I'm good. Not real interested in getting low. Bod pod had me at something like 14.7 about 3 weeks ago. I'm 229 now

clearly time for the bod pod to be serviced.

Now I was being a smartarse in my post above, but honestly if I didn't warm up I'd tear every muscle I'm working LOL.   

I've seen guys come in cold, load a bar with a buncha weight and start going.....never in my life have I been able to do that. 

If I'm gonna work chest I'll start on a flat machine and do about 5-6 sets with increasing weight for 20-30 reps a set.  Even then I'll start chest with something like Hammer Inclines and load four plates and rep 35-40, 6 plates and rep 25-30, 8 plates and rep 20 and then 10 plates and get about 10.  After that I'll still start with sets where I'm still getting 20 reps before I get into rep counts of 4-6.  I gotta be fully warm before I get heavy.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.  I knew you were a big dude, but those Hammer Incline numbers alone are impressive.  I used to be able to flat bench 315 for maybe 6, but there's no way I could've done 10 reps with 5 PPS on the Hammer Incline at the time (especially after all those other high rep sets).

I've not done flat bench since I was about 22, so ... let's see ... I'm rapidly closing on 35 now, so, ~13 years?  I've mostly focused on incline presses of various types since, largely because my inclines have always sucked utter ass next to my flat pressing strength.  I was happy when I could incline 3 bills even for 5 paused reps.  Ironically, as strict as that shit was, I think it was largely responsible for me either coming away with a class-A tear and/or serious nerve impingement that utterly gimped my right side pressing strength for upwards of a year.

I don't think you can bench 225 lbs 45 times as you have claimed.  If this bothers you then post a video and prove me wrong, but I'm certainly not paying you money for it, that's just foolish.

Me.

Strong triceps and strong shoulders is often neglected.

Best way to increase strength is multiple low rep sets though do not go near your max.

if you dont go near your max how do you know increase the weights and strenght?

Incline



good strenght but you are extending your arm too much, using your triceps to let your pecs rest for a couple of seconds at the top of the movement, and this makes the lift easier.
