Bench Press - Monday, October 17, 2005 8:24 AM ( #1 )
I would like to see everyone's opinions on my bench press sets. I would like to see if there is a better work out than what i'm doing. This was my last work out for bench a couple of days....I would like to know what I should change or add.


lbs      reps
135      10 (warm-up)
205     10
225      8
265      6
285      4
305      2

Any Idea's? I'm not sure if this is the best work-out for bench, I would like to hear your opinions. I also do many other work-outs for chest besides bench. I would just like to get all that I can out of Flat Bench. Also, my goal is to get stronger in Flat Bench, every other work out seems to be fine.

hey i do 5x5 now
5 sets for 5 reps at a higher % of weight than the normal amount i would lift for a 3x10 or so
i like this more than the other things i have done 
i think that this is more efficient and better for joints in the long run than a max and a near max rep all the time
If weightlifting was easy, everyone would do it

You gotta lift BIG, to get BIG

Doesn't matter how much you lift but how you lift it
