Big Jump on Floor Press!!!

[Zeus79]

Hey guys, for those of you who train Westside or something alike...3 weeks ago I maxed out before starting my Westside routine, my bench was 305lbs, I'm 184lbs. Well, last week on my first ME bench day, I did floor press for a max of 275, I tried 285 but couldn't do it. Well, today, my second ME bench day, I floor pressed 300lbs, and I'm psyched, I don't know if this is normal for being new to Westside training, but I'm all for it!!! Has anyone else seen these type of gains, I mean, is this normal? Thanks you guys for all the imput!

Thats normal. since your body isnt used to the movement it will drastically improve after the first atempt.

thats why beginers( like myself) are recomended to stick with an exercise for approx 3 weeks.......so that they get used to it.

If you stick with it you will keep on breaking those records.........keep it up bro.

dont worry if you fail, i did last month on a floor press.......i got bumed cam back a couple weeks later and smashed it.

keep it up, try it next week.......then switch it up

What other ME bench excercises do you recommend after I do the floor press a couple more weeks?

Board presses, Jm presses, Suspended band board presses, yoked band board presses, Rack lockouts, i am sure there are a ton more but those are my favorite.
