How many times can you do 225 on flat bench??

[solidj55]

20+ reps depending on how my elbow is feeling. Not bad for a 165lb guy!!!

2 Thick, why only inclines now?

I already do weighted dips to fill and thicken the lower chest, so doing flat bench is redundant. Besides, it is a compound movement and I prefer to isolate the muscle groups more for most of the year.

The inclines help to build the thick upper chest that I personally think is very impressive.

Besides that, the bench is free more often...lol.

I got 14 a couple of weeks ago, and one of the guys I train with got it for 38. He benched 455 at a meet last week-end, without a bench shirt.

I agree with 2thick, but hey buddy why not enlighten us. I'll believe you and would like to hear by the sounds of it must be inpressive!!!!!!!!

Well, I will just say that I warm up in inclines with 10 x 135 and 10 x 225, then I start my inclines. Other than that, I will not mention the weights. I am now doing 4 sets with reps of 5-6. I will change that to 12 reps in a few weeks.

When I was natural before my pec tear....225X23 reps

Not trying to show off at all here 2thick. Just seeing where I fall. Unfortunately, at my weight, I don't think my performance of 20 reps was too great. (i'm at 265 now)

That's a great idea on doing incline only. I really need that upper chest mass more than anything, and have fallen into the trap of dong flat, incline, decline, flyes, and low cables every week for the past 2 months.

I did 27 right before my season started this august. I hope to get above 30 by next summer.

How'd you tear your pec bro?

Same as 2thick, only do incline press. And some may call me a puss, but I do them on the smith machine. Last chest workout I did 265 for 15. But I don't think that I could do it again. I was extremely pissed at the time and I was just trying to, well basically lift the fucking gym. Damn women will do that shit to you!!!
