How many times should I close grip bench 220 tomorrow?

[Swlabr]

Did 10 last time, do you fellas reckon I have 12 in me tomorrow?

[wes]

2 sets of 10,and a set of 8 would be better.

Go for it dude!! 

[Coach is Back!]

I do 275x5 regularly. Could get 12-15 but I rarely go beyond 5.

I ramp the weight up, though. Warm up with 135, go up to 175 then 220 and ending with 265 for 4-5 if I have it in me.

Hmm.

You're a bench wonder, though. Don't you bench 455?

At this point I'm more interested in maintaining size and gaining power and strength than adding size. I'm almost 50, I have enough size.

I thought close grips were when your hands were close together.  Thanks for the clarification.

warm up with 6 with 135, 5 with 185, 2 with 220 and then go all out with 250, see how many you get.

Sounds like a plan, my man. Will update tomorrow!

close grips have more to do with the elbows than hands, if your elbows are tightly tucked to your sides thats a close grip bench.

so your grip can be not close for close grip bench, interesting.

do the opposite of whatever wes' advice is and you will be golden

Any closer than what I have you run the risk of distroying your wrists. I use a grip with my index finger on the smooth part of the bar with elbows in tight.
