Thanks bro, I forgot to mension last bench session I only managed 209x5 so an 11lb PR!!
Lying on your back and exercising is NOT "cool"
On a more serious note, did you bother to read anything I and SouthernLord posted above?
Lol bro bench is one of my favourite lifts, I prefer it to deads!
Yes I did read it all. You said you wanted to help me but at the same time you didn't, that's fine, if you don't want to help me then don't, I don't want you to spend your time on me if you don't really want to. But if you do then that's great and I would love to hear your ideas on recovery. Although I am asking because I'm interested, not because I want to follow what you say exclusively so don't get offended if I don't do exactly as you think I should.
What I gathered from your post is that you started out with very light weight for alot of sets and reps and progressed to more weight and less volume? That is what saibot told me to do last time and is what I was planning on doing this time, 6 sets of 3 to be exact to start off. I think I actually kept some strength from doing it too...
bro I used to suck at bench, the reason it looks like my strong lift is because I have been injured the least on my pressing muscles. So while Iv not been able to dead/squat Iv still been progressing at bench. I do admit though often I feel a plateau coming along on my deads or squat and have to change something but that never seems to happen on bench...
I think I have quite long arms though which is usually bad for benching...
where did you post the article?

It's an awesome read Matt Kroc is a badass!!!!
BTW, are you sure you have long arms? At 5'7 or 8 or whatever most people usually don't have long arms.

already read that article bro a few days ago.
I always thought I had long arms Ill go measure my wingspan now...
EDIT: height 5'7 wing span 5'8 so not that long...
The reason I thougth I had long arms was a few things, one was the fact deads were my best lift and the first time I tryed them I was stronger than the first time anyone else my age I know first tryed them and the other reason was how I always had lagging arms which is common with people who have long arms, although I will admit I have managed to bring up my arms alot lately...

Man I hate to say it and seriously I promise you I mean absolutely no offense but your deads are not that strong compared to your bench, same with your squat. I remember when I came on this forum you were benching 185x4 and only deadlifting 300 and squatting 225....no offense meant I'm just saying your bench is definitely you strongest lift.
not anymore, but when I started I was very good at them compared to other stuff. But my lifts were a mess, I remember when I was a noob I could only squat 2lbs more than I could bb row haha
squat is my weakest lift though and has been for a long time.

Some people are just born to squat....You also have to consider this: most big Deadlifters are better Front Squatters than Back Squatters.
as in they front squat more weight than back squat? or they are just very good at front squats in comparison?
