Benching Schemes?
- Thread starter SNDMN
- Start date
go strictly dumbells for months at a time, fuck that flat barbell, i stpped flat for over a year cause of shoulder problems, i was at maybe 430 max with a shirt in power lift meet, started to bodybuild due to shoulders and other joint aches, cames back one day last summer to flat barbell 465 with pause and no shirt, for those who dont know i mean powerlifting shirt,lol, i dont bench nor walk around my gym with out a shirt,lmao
so try that bro, always start off preexhausting chest with flys, then do incline first then flat bot dumbells then lots of cables at various positions and pushups supersetted inbetween the cables right there on the floor, OAK CHEST YOU WILL HAVE ! well maybe,lol but thats what i do

yes..dumbells are key.....but i believe in hittin the barbell bench mayb once every 3 months just to change things up...do as Presser says...track your progress....barbell bench one day...then for the next 3 months do mostly dumbell presses, flyes, cables..and then in 3 months c were you are at again...and repeat
shit man make those puppie feel like 200lbs, thats all y last gym had and thats where i made my best gains, concentrate on negatives bro, you wont be so quick to say "only 100's" i do 4-5 second negatives with a bottom pause and explode up, trust me

I agree, I also had success with the Oaklahoma workout and, not to plug another site, Musclemedia's "how to increase your bench by 50 lbs," worked great. You have to hunt for the article in Musclemedia, it's in there under routines I believe.

I would try dumbbells, but you may want to check out this article, it's a good review of the fundamentals, which we sometimes forget. The article was titled "How To Increase Your Bench Press By 100 Pounds."

I have a link saved on Internet Explorer that works, but if I type in the adress, it times out, so I don't know if it will work for you or not. But, if so, it has lots of exercises for all body parts laid out. Hope this works

Here is that article, it really does work. It's blasted me past a few plateaus.

I'm embarrased now... 
No, but I switched up my program to doing more incline and decline and flat bench with dumb bells and it really improved my strength and size gains. After 1 1/2 months my working sets consisted of 205-225 7-10 reps. I know its not much compared to what you guys lift but I was 165 at the time. I think my max bench was around 265.
