![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This is what i would reccomend for starters it starts out by building up endurance and as the weeks progress continue to increase the weight and you will improve your stength and power. You'll want to start out with high reps to get your form and technique. Learn your groove and with the high reps stuff experiment a little with you grip. Go a little wider than normal with one set then go a little narrower with the next, then use your normal grip for a set. Find out what works. By weeks 7-9 know what grip you like best and stick with it from there on out. this would be a good workout to start with and keep in mind that all of these sets are after your warm up. WEEK 1-3= WARM UP, then 3-4 sets for reps of 15 at 60-65% hope this points you in the right direction And don't forget to do all of the auxillary lifts to support your bench (example) incline press, military, lat pull downs, dumbell rows, seated rows, front raises, Lateral raises, rear flys, Rotator cuff exercises [very important!!], tri and Bi work, abs. hope that helps and good luck IP: Logged |
