Bench Press - Page 14

Swerve · 01-31-2013, 08:25 PM

Haven't maxed out in a while but I can pump out 12-15 reps of 225. I actually prefer doing different bodyweight exercises now, hindu pushups, spider man pushups, variations on pull ups because I think they assist more in the core region than just benching.

& to those interested in supplements, I love anything Optimum Nutrition makes whether it's protein, BCAA's, or multis. Great company.

I didn't want to get the thread off-topic, but not only is nothing stopping me these days, I'm actually hitting the gym on alternate days right now...

I'm looking forward to regaining my long-lost strength, and have already dropped over 10lbs in the last month.

Slow and steady has been my plan, and it's already paying off.

^^^ Good for you. Great going!

FastFreddy · 02-01-2013, 07:11 PM

Today I benched 285 for 20 reps first time free weight. I next did 300 for 15 reps and was cooked after that. Next week on Tuesday I will try 305.

He is only 5'10 3\4 just like me but he is listed as 5'11 @ 170-180. He is not even close to being bulky he is more ripped then huge. You have to see me on the court 5'10 3/4 205-215. People say I look like a rugby football player on the court I say no a hockey player playing tennis.

I can maybe bench 100 lbs or 110 lbs a couple times.

FastFreddy · 02-05-2013, 09:45 AM

Good way to check the right depth grab a bar and lay on the floor and go as deep until your tricep touches the floor. If u watch powerlifters they have a huge chest short arms and never break parallel. Some only have the bar move 5-6 inches of rom.

I'm pretty skinny (a little over 182cm & 75kg), so if I only go until my
forearm & upper arm form 90 degrees, the bar would be pretty far from my chest.
Just getting back into working out again since I haven't been able to play much tennis
awhile now.

32 sets of other workout movements. I only do 3 sets for reps. Then do 3 sets for triples , doubles and singles. Bar depth depends on a lot of things like u said your chest size and arm length. Plus I already have had shoulder 2 times on each shoulder. So no more no school touch the bar with your chest. Tomorrow I will try 315 for 12 reps!!
