Double your Anadrol dosage.

When in doubt, up the dosage!

Good luck!

Your goal is to up your strength, but at the end you pose like a bodybuilder..!?  ???

I think your goal for 2010 is to figure out if you want to be a power lifter (in which case you should post your powerlift meet results) or a bodybuilder (in which case you should post your contest photos - we like posing oiled up men in things here)

How many current getbiggers can bench press 500 pounds??

Very impressive, imo.

retarded imo, strong ass bencher but you never know when your shoulders messes up or your pec gives out etc etc, and then you probably wouldnt want 500 pounds dropping down on you...

since adrain cut out the 'natural' talk, he's been okay.

Before that, he was the king of the M1T "tankini" front double biceps pose.

Now, he's a hardworking guy.  Looking fwd to see him doing well competitively in 2010.

Benching 500+ without a bench shirt is still a major feat of strength in my book. And to do it without a lift off or spotter is even tougher. Start working with a lift off from a partner, it will help you set up tighter and look into learning how to get more leg and hip drive into your lift and you will have 30 more pounds easy.

Good Morning 240! I would like to express  that I've ALWAYS been a hardworking guy, 2005' pro hormone cycle  or not!  I'm not afraid of work, not afraid to get n the gym and pays my dues. Thanks

Thanks Steve.  Yeah that's the first time I've tried that much weigh without spotter.  Everyone seems to flake out!  Even more so being the holidays! But the show must go on.  I know for a fact I'll need a partner if I want to reach my goals, I'd be nervous to go heavier without.

Whatever I do all my lifts without a spotter. Never come close to five wheels but I certainly hold my own.  Sick lifts, sick build. How tall are you and what do you weigh? Dont see any problem with trying to get a new personal record for bench and being a bodybuilder. The hate is strong around here.

No joke, but I'd hit up Kevin Levrone on his blog. That man was the master of bench press. He'll give you solid advice. Thing is though, I don't think you're on here for advice. If you got to 500 pounds RAW by yourself, you obviously know what you're doing. I think you're just on here to brag, which is fine (you've earned the right to do so), but just be honest about your REAL intentions bro.

Not bragging!  I've been pressing around this much for awhile now, I'm trying to improve, so advise is what I'm asking for.  Can always learn from others.

If u wanna lift big, change gym, change benchpress technique and and start work out in a powerlifting club. U have to chose, powerlifting or bodybuilding. U cant have whole the cake.

So I can't improve my max rep while being a bodybuilder? I can't work at getting stronger while being a bodybuilder? I can see learning new techniques, but having to change gyms?

 I have a friend and he can bench 5 plates, but that was his 3th exercise for chest and he did 3 sets of 8.
 I'm not bashing you.

Lol! I'm a moron cause I max out? Ooook!  I've lifted heavy for over 8 years already, I stay within the 2-4-6 rep range on my compound lifts, so this isn't something new for me! Don't most lifters know their max on lifts?  Or do u guess what it is?

keep doin what your doin bro it seems to be workin....however I think most people are referring to your lack of a spotter...I did a successfull max bench of 350lbs last week with no lift & no spot,but I did it inside the squat/power rack....had the bars set to wear they were just barely below my chest but if I didn't get the lift i could have easily rolled the bar towards the neck & been fine....but worse yet is if you were to suffer an injury during a lift like that.....you may have done it a million times before but it only takes once and your life could be over..... good luck with your goals man...

I'm not sure haven't maxed in a while, it's  just the last two weeks I've felt stronger than normal on chest days, so I decided to see what I could get.  I lift as heavy as I can legs days, try and stay heavy on squats, however I'm 6'3 and my form isn't the best, so I tend to have lower back issues. But I do what I can.
