Edit: Well I can tell you guys so much, I have long arms and but I don't go to the gym to proove I can bench more than 230 I think it is more than that, I don't respond well to heavy training, I need to very restricted and cannot cheat at all.

loool come on, I would not have listed 230 as a major flaw If I wasn't for god damn sure that nearly EVERYBODY can lift that, that;s the difference between you and me kid ;) I have not problem excepting my flaws and than work on them.

My left bicep is slight bigger and stronger than my right bicep. It is odd because I am right handed

whenever I do straight bar curl I have to mentally ensure that my left hand is not compensating for the right one.

when I wear a short sleeve shirt the left is always tighter.
I have actually started to add a little extra weight (5-10lbs) on the right side.

why not try pre-exhausting the chest first on chest day? also do more fly movements

i think Hedge is talking about his segment on BFTO 05, him and Branch Warren train chest and Jonnie get about 9 or 10 non lockout reps on his own and a few with a heavy spot, i think he could probably do more offseason but he's admitted that pressing isn't a strong point for him.

I actually started a new training routine that hits the chest hard. I'm still sore. :)

It's doing a sort of giant set, incorporating decline, flatbench, and incline in the same set with dumbells and an adjustable bench.

Thanks though.

315 lbs is good, but nothing great, for a natural sub-220 lbs lifter IMO.

Dude, I'am a monster, but being over 6/3 and having extremely long arms and weak tendons means alot, hernia surgery, broken wrists ect, I think I'm doing pretty good.  I make up for it by repping out with lighter weights.  Piss me off enough and get that adreniline going, I'm sure I would slam you. (not meant to be a challenge or threat.)

How do I know? I was handcuffed by LAPD, and broke out of the cuffs (the their amazement).  Hence, had to do time for escape.

yeap like I said I suck at benching, I don't know why and I have to be honest yes it does bother me when I see somebody else who is not bigger than me and he benches more.
But hey I Shrugg 529 my arms are good my neck is big my traps are to big lol...

I just keep trying, I think one day I'll be over the 230 and move to 300 without a problem, its just a platou.

eh you aught to try benching like i described a while ago. it eliminates shoulder and tricep involvement pretty damm well. I got "ledges" on my upper-pecs finally because I've been doing it on incline for the past 4 or so months.

Well, I'll see how my new routine goes. I think I should be able to add some more size with it.

No, the deal is that my first two years I had always had problems benching (ie. no progress) but I corrected my form a little while ago and I am making up for lost time and doing much better.  I plan on being near or above 300 by winter.

its not a routine, its a technique or way of benching. Instead of doing your normal flat, boring, bench in your routine, you'd do this different way instead -- following your exact same routine.

Thanks for the help, but I'm content to stick with my current regimen for now.

6.1/ 225/ 32

I'll be honest after winter time, holidays in latvia (and I really tried not to enjoy the latvian food too much and they have insane good food, I'm probably 15-18% bodyfat atm.

Stark, the most I've benched was 225 and I see smaller guys bench more all the time. The most I did was 225 for 8. Now that's practically my max thanks to HIT. If I never did HIT I would've been on 255 or so. Thanks Mentzer, you asshole.

Thanks you made me feel better, I wonder how that comes that some of us cannot bench that much but still look respectable...
I even had a guy who won Mr Ireland a couple of times look at me and he said I'm not doing anything wrong.

Stark, I could have your bench up to 300 in 13 weeks.

i used to be in the neighborhood of 240 lbs, albeit not ripped.  was lifting very respectable weight in every lift, upper 300s on bench and high 500s on squat and dl, but a slap lesion in my left shoulder sent all that to hell.  i haven't been able to train for the last year, but honestly i'm not sure i mind it.  i'm currently a lean 175, and now that i'm back in the gym i can bench low 200s for some good reps, but i get shoulder pain.  the shitty thing about is that i now have tendonitis in my left arm/elbow, a noticeable tear in my shoulder, and a higher insertion point on my left inner tricep.  i think that may be due to nerve damage, but who knows.  it also affected my lat.  i honestly think it could be the same exact thing that happened to ronnie coleman.  with all that said, i think the new, leaner version of me looks good.  girls definitely notice my muscles a lot more than they did  when i was strong.

Let's be honest for once:

I'll start...

I have never benched over 230 pounds and yes I'll be the first to admit that my bech sucks monkey ass.
230...kilos?  :-\
