Help Bump My Bench Press Up

[luto199]

I decided to work on form and build the triceps for now.
Well can any of you personally reccomend a certain bench program? Knowing i can do 195 x 10, and max around 240 or so, whats a good lifting set? Like
165 x 10 , 185 x 10, 195 x 10, 205 x whatever i can do.

Hmmmm..thought I just gave you a few ideas above...

If you are benching 195 x 10 and Louie Simmons is 50+ and had done over 600 in a meet...maybe you should listen to what he is saying...

You dont HAVE to read all of them on B True's list....though you should. The one above is a full program....written out and spoon fed.

yea i read the articles and theyr'e a good read, but it seems like its for someone who is SOLEY concentrating on upping their bench. I do my chest once a week and its with another muscle group. I understand what he is saying, but im not looking to bench 600, im jut looking to get past where i am. I think i can do that now by perfecting my form, which suked, and hitting my tri's. I was just curious how the normal lay person here would bench if in my position.

There are several ways to skin a cat...but I don't think that anyone has found a better one than he has...

Amy Weisberger...benched 319 to set a women's and men's World Record at 132 I think...she also uses this method.

Well luto199, I doubt you'll have to worry about benching 600 anytime soon I would however look at those articles as tools you can use. You want to get a bigger bench, you agree you need to work on form and strengthen the tri's. Why not dedicate 2-3 months to getting stronger? The strength you gain will cause you to use MUCH bigger weights when you return to BB style lifting, which will in turn make YOU much bigger. This is what I do. Everything has its place. I use BB, PL, and strongman concepts in my training because they all have benefits and I just enjoy working out.
