Help w/ ME Bench day!

[kingc_79]

i feel that i need some work on shoulders and maybe a lil on traps and i reworked my me bench day. any tips

Floor press- work up to 1 rep max
weighted dips- 2 sets of 8
close grip bench- unsure
military press--2 sets of 8
maybe front raises in there somewhere
leg raises-3 sets 15

feel free to critique please

Hers what I would do:

a) do somethig besides dips
b) do waork for your lats
c) do rear delt exercises; my frront delts get plenty of work from benching alone.
d) why abs on bench day?

 

[kingc_79]

i do weighted chins for lats just forgot to put it in, and sounds good on delts, maybe ill do bent over db laterals, and i just like to throw abs in whenever i can or feel like it 2 times/wk

 

[kingc_79]

the close grip bench will be incline and i may do inc db press instead of weighted dips

inc close grip bench-up to 3rep max w/155lb, 175lb 1rep
stand military press- 2 sets of 10 w/85lbs(not sure weight of 6' bar)

If you're looking to add some strength to your bench workouts, avoid training at low reps for more than 2-3 weeks. And, those 2-3 weeks should be conducted prior to a meet. There's definately not a reason to do 1 rep maxes in the gym! Save that effort for a meet.

Have you heard of WSB?

 

[pwr_machine]

Yes. And, there's alot more to add to WSB than simply training.
