benchpress program

Yeah...and I should mention that I was referring to the 30-40 pounds in 7 weeks.

Wouldn't it be great if it worked for those of us with a fair amount of experience? I'd consider this Bench America event.

lol...yeah. My beginner's luck came to an abrupt halt. Now I have to work for every little 5 pound jump on ME day. I used to jump in quarters. lol. Hey, as long as I keep jumping !!!

Haha, yeah let's listen to Muscle Media for bench press tips.

it doesnt matter how much we gain, i just needed the site to plug in the weight i should lift.

also i did a similar program about 2 months ago and i gained 20 pounds on my bench in 8 weeks..

plus its fun

52 weeks in a year. I could do 7 cycles of that program a year.
7cycles x 30lbs = 210lbs

I would kill for that

That's how Bigguns15 does her training now. She plugs in a "raw' and "with lifting gear" projected max and an Excel worksheet does the rest.

I have moved into a "cybernetic" type of training.

If i have to do %80, i will do 80% not of a projected max or a written max.....but 80% of the max possible that day.

It seems to work for oly lifting...dont know about powerlifting

Projections are quite subjective. It takes a VERY experienced lifter to know what's within his/her capabilities.

Endpoint, Westside IS cybernetic training. FOR powerlifters.

I hear a lot about people supposedly overtraining with WSB, and that's been the opposite for me. My max is the most I can do that day, as opposed to what I'm supposed to do that day. I have never felt overtrained when it wasn't something I brought upon myself, and had nothing to do with "WSB." I wouldn't say any of the members of the mid-west crew are "overtrained."

yeah i know.......thats what i liked about it.

I dont like it when people post up their 9 week westside program and go :what do you think of this? I have to hold back and say "its crap..how do you know where you will be in 9 weeks time.....will you need a reverse band press? or a board press? you will only know in that week. you might skip it and feel a floor press will help you more. maybe you are burnt and need dumbells or illegal wides. Its a week by week thing..... i think thats why people over train.

i have never over trained on westside. I think its too damn hard too, as long as you know what your doing



but in regards to weight it seems very prescribed in the percentages (speed days) which is good in a way, i regards to phases

AMEN.
