My chest has always been a wink link. My max bench was 255, and i weighed in at 225 at the time, BF pretty high. Inclined being even weaker. I think the max I've done is 60 lb dumb bells for 8 reps. My legs have always been huge, and easy to gain strength. I repped 315 8 times on squat, and maxxed out at 405. I've repped 1200 lbs on leg press 8 times. I go crazy when i do leg workouts. Can't seem to get into bench that much. Never really spent a lot of time doing dead lifts(poor form, and don't want to risk injury) but i think my highest max was 225. An old lifting partner is every bit of 185 solid muslce, and his max bench was 315. made me look like a woman. If you've had a weak chest, how did develop it? My diet was really clean when my max bench was 255. supplement intake included whey protein, 6-oxo and anavol.. A typical chest workout would be 3X8 on bench, 4X6 on incline, 4X10 on cable x/over and maybe some decline if i feel like it. I've never had a problem gaining strength or size in my forearm. usually stick to concentration movements when doing tri workouts, though. Any input would be greatly appreciated. |

Work on TRICEPS to help with Bench. Do DIPS, that helps build up arms and chest. When I was USMC, I use to lift a bunch in Oki w/ reknowned Power lifter, He had me on a pretty good routine. Basically for power lifting you dont do any reps above 5-6 and jus do heavy weights til ya reach failure. When I was 150lbs. I was benching 240. To me that was a great accomplishment. I know a guy that weighted 150 and got his bench up to 290 but could never break into the 300lb range. Thats alot of weight. lol. |
