Screw, this may sound a bit harsh, which isn't my intent at all. Just the internet being as it is sometimes, I want to make sure I don't come off wrong, but what is the longest amount of time you have stuck with any one program? It seems like you start something different every six or seven weeks. I could be wrong though. However, if that is the case, I think some of your issues my have to do with this point.

I dont know what the hell is wrong with my bench! i cant have al readt hit a real plateu could i?
 
I kinda think its your workout, on all of the workouts other than bench you are using the same weight on each set, I try to add weight on every set, I'd rather start lighter and get heavier than use a medium weight and do the same weight every set, also you said the last time that you could barely get that weight, and you might have been a little more in the zone the week before which could explain the difference. I know some days I do better than others.

okay so your saying try to add like 5 lbs every set and just lower the reps?
 
what is your caloric intake... are you eating enough to get stronger?...

im not sure what my intake is but i know is not a ton

but my squat and deadlift have been going to 5lbs a week for a couple of months now and my bench was prograssing for a while there, then it just stopped

im going to for the next 6-9 weeks so some other bench variation like CGBP, incline bench press, and the floor press...each 3 weeks long

i very highly reccomend you just take one day... keep track of all the food you eat, cal., protien, carbs and fat... at least give us and yourself an idea of where you are at...
im almost ceetain if you ate more (calories total), you will be able to make better progress...
upping the weight and lowering reps is a good idea too
it is much easier to add 5 lbs to your dead and squat than your bench... correct me if im wrong.. but possibly you have been benching fot a while longer than you have deaded or squatted,or with more vigor, therefore thats why the gains in strength are still showing with them...
i would bet on eating more as your best bet...

okay so your saying try to add like 5 lbs every set and just lower the reps?
Kinda, depends on the workout, like for your dumbell presses, 5 pounds might be good for you, but for workouts that require more weight, such as a squat for example, you might need to add 20 pounds each set, start out light, and by the final set you should be struggling getting it on the 4th and really struggling on the 5th rep.

You should do a couple warm ups for each body part, but always lift heavy and shoot for 6-8 reps each set. No more than 8. If your not "on", you have to lift heavy all the time in order to grow. If you want endurance, you can still lift heavy, but limit the rest to about 90 seconds between sets.

Where you been lately screw?

hey guys i just got my computer fixed today, i had to send it in and i just now got it.

Our basketball coach said that has gunna have us all do this weight lifting program at our highschool gym so, i guess im not sure exactly what i will be doing yet but i keep all you guys updated and occasionaly post some workouts...

it starts June 7th
 
hey guys i know i havent posted anything in here since FOREVER so heres the rundown...

at the beginning of summer i kinda re-injured my right elbow throwing a baseball, after a month of physical therapy and nothing happening, i went to a specialist and he said if i wanted to get it 100% healed and never feel pain in it again i would have to have surgery, and he didnt recommend it if i wasent playing baseball so i never got it. Now i only get pain when i throw a baseball,

since school started i have been lifting after school, i had lost a lot of strength over the summer from not really lifting but now its all back for the most part.

i lift 4 times a week after school here is what i have been doing.

MONDAY: biceps and triceps
TUESDAY: legs and abs
WEDNESDAY: chest and shoulders

honestly I would lose the arm day, and revamp to either a 5x5 or one body part per day. Something like chest on monday, back on wednesday, legs on friday. saturday would be off, and then start over on sunday ect ect... you are likely over training arms. Big heavy compound movements with enough days off will make your whole body gain alot of mass. Provided that your eating enough. You have to train til you want to puke. Dont go over an hour though. You will be wasting your time after that. Your natty test will be used up.

today in the weightroom i was doing legs and i got 4 straight sets of 5 reps with 205 lbs. i was pretty pumped, it was even pretty easy the last set i got 7 reps

i was box squating and the box was a little above parallel but not much

Funny you said that i had the impression that ATG was all the way down. When i put ATG on my journal it means literally.

You should try it, you'll love it even more, just take your time, do a couple of sets after your last heaviest set just to get a feel or do it as your 5x5 light day.

i do go ATG, im jus sayin ATG for some people is different than others because of flexibility/limb lengths, etc

Ever since i started going way down i have loved it tho!
 
well im 6'1" and i weigh 147 lbs

I Max-Squated yesterday for the first time in a while, it was box that was a little above parallel and i got 275!!!!! the first time i tried it i couldnt get it but 5 min later i got it. I didnt have the greatest form my kness started caving in a little bit, but it was a max so it was fine

I havent maxed out on bench yet but i would guess around 155 lbs one time.

I havent maxed out on deadlifts either, i dont do those as much anymore lifting at the school. I have done trap bar deadlift a couple times but dont remember what the weight was

im gunna post up a couple more pics and then at the end of the year take some more pics and see how far ive came
 
You workout with 205lbs but your max is 275? Are you sure you checked the weight correctly?

yeah i did the 205 for 7 reps like a week and a half ago and 1 days ago when i maxed i put 225 on and i did that 5 times because it was so easy than added 10s to each side and did that and did one then went to 275 im gunna admit i wasent using good form when i got it up just because i really wanted to get it, like i said my kness came in.

my squats seem like they have been going up 20 lbs every week now for the past 3 weeks, but yeah 275 was pretty bad form thats why i got it up
