Bench Press with over 315...Is it safe?

[kwri298]

Yesterday I got 12 with 315 on the bench press.  I would like to go up to 365 for about 6 but my concern that that I would tear a pec...I've heard that anything over 315 is not safe.  What do you guys think?

You'll be just fine, just make sure you warm up good!

[dr.chimps]

LOL. 12x315!? That is good enough for 1-2 at 405. 

/don't forget your camera

if you do 365 for your first set, then yeah you'll fuck up something in your pecs, the key is just warming up. I regularly bench 3+ plates, and i always start off with 1 plate, do 20+ reps, then a plate and a quarter, and get 15+ reps, then 2 plates and do a working set ( how ever many reps i get), and then jump all the way to the 3 plate terretory... trust me, injuries suck, it deffinateyly pays off to be safe than injured... thats my $0.02

Don't worry, Squad calls everyone out!  When I bench, i do a set of 25 with just the bar, and use a couple different grip widths.  Then I do 2 or 3 sets with 135 before i move into the 300's

I only weighed 216 yesterday morning...you can't do this (you mentioned in another post that you can only get 5 or 6) and how much do you weigh?

hahahahahhaa, ahh the classic, "i only weigh 132 and i bench 600 for 20, that's not all that great, there are 25 guys in my gym under 95 pounds who do 800, if you tarined in a real gym you'd see this".

I warm up by light jogging for 6-10 minutes on the cycle or treadmill...I don't warm up with weights, robs me of my strength...

Im by far the weakest guy here, all top benchers on this forum.

Why does everyone have to prove something to you. You feel they need to drop what they are doing go find a camera then get a friend and record it to satisfy some 20+% bodyfat internet douche bag. Even if he is bullshitting it's not like he bragging or using to make someone else seem small, he's just asking a question

I just hammered out 23 reps with 405, but I'm a little scared to try 465.  What do you guys think?

That's what I mean, it's not like the guy is bragging or tryin to act badass he is just asking a simple question. As for me I don't ever talk about my lifts much and I don't claim anything outrageous anyway. Go attack sevastase for talking shit on Dzulboy even though he is half his size and uses just as much, don't forget also because he looks like a retarded bald witch and homo tennis penis player.

I normally start with 135 for 15, 225 for 8, then my heavy set with is with 315...Sometimes I'll drop set down to 225, which I normally fail between 18 and 23 reps (depending on the time I take between sets).  I have heard that if you go pass 315 you are simply asking for a pec tear (pros use HGH which helps with this).  I know a guy who was maxing out (385lbs) and his pec riped.

Duhhh...uhhh...grunt, snort, fart, shouldn't this thread be over on the Training Q&A forum instead...duhhhh....!???

Hey bro, why not wear one of those extra-tight bench-bump-bounce shirts (the new ones actually have built-in compression springs to give you more bench bump bounce)!  

Oh, and, be sure and take more 'roids, GH, BB drugs, synthol oil, and even get plastic surgery done to your pecs. to blow/stuff-dem pecs. up in size so that you'll only have to bounce-bump the weight just a few inches...like all of dem illegal drug-bloated, surgically-altered/stuffed with , pro. BB FREAKS (the "heroes" of American youth)!
