All ya'll powerlifters on here.... - Monday, August 25, 2008 5:41 PM
Does anyone have a good powerlifting routine that has worked for them. I've recently been doing the 5x5  but its been a month and I am stuck on 275 for bench, my other lifts are still going up. Does anyone know any routine that could help me break 300 or 315 by the end of this year? Any help would be appreciated.

To try and break a bench plateau do some more lat work, and tricep work, as well as calf work.

I agree with this as well.  Also what is your current benching/chest routine? (i want reps/sets/rest interval/ect)

I've upped the tricep work by doing heavy close grips and weighted dips but this was before I stalled, and I don't think anything else will help more than these, but I could be wrong. For my lats I've been doing heavy rows(switching them up), and pullups.


To SK:
My current routine, weights are from today, nothing new
Tuesday
Bench-155x5,  minute break
          185x5,  minute break
          205x5, minute break
          225x5, 3 to 5 minutes
          235x5
Close grip bench- 205x5
                        215x5
                        205x5
Weighted dips- bwx3
                     bw+10x3
                     bw+20x3
That's it about it for chest, the past month I've been doing dumbbell switched up with regular bench, same rep and set scheme.

Don't know if this helps but, Yet asked about lats so I figured I'd put up my back and bi workout too.
These weights are also from my last workout
Deadlift- 135x5
             225x5
             315x5
             405x5
             415x4
Rows(last time I did db rows)
80x5
90x5
100x5
110x5

a set of both pullups and chinups, reps depend on how tired I am.

barbell shrugs- 135x10
                     225x10
                     315x7
