lose about half of your weight and 135 pound benchpress will be twice your weight.
Become an ant. They can lift 10 times their body weight.
Turn down the gravity a little.
Here's a five week program that added fifty pounds to my bench max in 5 weeks, thats 10 pounds a week increase.
Go two days a week for each week.EX: every monday and thursday
Week#1- 5 sets of 5 reps, use max weight. you shouldn't be able to do more then 5 reps w/ the weight you select. EX: I used 205 lbs
Week #2- do 5 sets of 4 reps, using 10 pounds more then in week 1. EX: i used 205 in week 1 so i went up to 215 for week 2.
Week #3- do 5 sets of 3 reps, again going 10 pounds heavier then in week 2. Ex: i used 225 lbs this week.
Week #4- Do 5 sets of 2 reps, using 10 more pounds then previous week. for me that was 235 lbs.
Week #5- max out. You should have added ATLEAST 30 LBS to your max if you follow it to a tee.
My results: bench max before = 225lbs
Bench max after= 275 lbs
I just started the training cycle again last week and expect max to be over 315 lbs when finished, thats another 40 lbs increase. Totalling a 90 lbs increase in just over 8 weeks.
Hope that helps!
