I have always liked this routine...
Flat Bench (Barbell): 2 warm up, 4 work sets
Incline Press (Dumbell): 3 work sets
Cable Crossovers/Pec Dec: 3 work sets
I'm all natural here and the exact opposite of you, my chest is by far my best body part in terms of size and strength and it's tough...
I hate the guy that uses way too much weight and pumps out 3 reps with the shittiest form you've ever seen, then throws the weight down and looks around to see who's watching.
I didn't say it wasn't possible, I'm just saying the goals you set would be very difficult to acheive. When I was at 200lbs it took me nearly 3 years to increase to a 300lb bench (doing things naturally, which I'm assuming you will be too). It's "possible" with the proper diet and rest...
My educated guess to your question is no. 100 lbs on your bench press in a year would be very good but would take a lot of dedication. I'm not saying it's not possible, but the way you are calculating your #'s assumes you won't reach any plateaus. I'll explain it this way. Yes, it's possible...
I came to that conclusion about a month ago. Why give your opinion if it's just going to be ignored? I'm not sure where things got so complex. Stick to the basics and keep things simple, train hard, eat right, rest a lot and be consistent. It doesn't get much deeper than that.
On the other...
I don't mean to get your hopes up, but no. Under a very rare circumstance that would be possible. The test subjects here were probably new to working out and their bench went from 85 to 110. There's your 30%. Btw - I checked out the site, I don't see where you got that study info...
Thats what I'm trying to figure out, but I don't think it's my heart which is good. I still have the pains, but I'm guessing they are muscle related. They only happen now when I lay on my left side and breathe out. It kinda made me wonder that first time though when my left arm started...
I never thought of it that way. I guess looking at it logically if the roles were reversed and it was a dude, he'd be going to prison right about now so you got a point. On the other hand, that kid is the luckiest kid ever! I actually just saw her for the first time this morning and damn. My...
Anyone ever get any type of chest pains from time to time? I get this light sharp pain on the left side of my chest periodically. Sometimes I don't get it for weeks, other times I get it several days in a row. It's never while working out or doing anything strenuous. It always happens either...
