You claimed 5 to 6 reps with 315. That's not alot of difference. Were you bullshitting about the 5 to 6 reps?

If I have a good week (eating alot and good workouts) I can increase 1 to 2 reps a week on my heavy bench set. Of course Superdrol doesn't hurt either. It's better strengh builder than Test.

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?

Not buying this...anyone that can grind out 315 for 12 is not at all worried about 365........315 would be a warm-up set. You don't just wake up one day and pound out 315 for 12. Hell, long before you hit 315 for 12 you would've already tried 365. If you have gotten 6 or 7 with 315 you woulda tried 365.

What? I don't think I've ever talked about squats. I do sets that are parallel and some sets that are ass to floor. What do you think I'm not being serious about?

why would there ever be a reason why benching over 315 wouldn't be safe?!

It could be real dangerous if you can't bench 315 and you try without a spotter

Sounds like the only thing going up for this guy is his weekly expenditure on vagisil...scared to get under anything remotely resembling alot of weight and then wants people to stroke it nad tell him 315 is huge and shoudln't go any higher because he might grow so large he can't walk through the doors of the gym.

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.

I'll give you an honest reply. I used to handle 315 for 8-10 every week. I occasionally would do 365 for 3-4 or a 405 for a single (couple times got 2), but one time was too much and on a set of 365 I was handling it really well but my pec tore anyway.

IMO, do dumbells first, incline & flat, then do your benches. 315 will seem very hard and you'll not need to test your ego.

Don't use a weight you can't do for 6 reps and the chances of tearing a pec will be decreased to almost zero. What the hell is the point of doiing a set for 1 or 2 reps. Even a set of 3 or 4 is stupid unless you are a powerlifter. The same goes for maxing out. What the fuck does anyone ever need to max out for. Maxing out is gayer than Sevastase's locker room tighty whitey pics. When you get to the gym each day, LEAVE YOUR EGO IN THE LOCKER ROOM with your muscetech products.

Why would you not want to incorporate different routines and different rep schemes into your training?!!

To not do so is to limit what limited ability you'd already have. Training without a brain and an open mind and not questioning things or trying out new things is one way to leave you behind while other people are blowing the fuck out.

Oh I forgot...we're just here to "stay fit"
