Anybody know how to improve their bench press max?

Don't do it! If you are going to bench heavy..do it the right way. Don't bench with a wide grip and use your lats to push

pectoral tear

 

that's never happened to me, maybe you did something wrong

 

There is no purpose at all in maxing out. Bodybuilders don't do it. Hell at the NFL combine, they just press out 225 as many times as they can for an accurate strength measure.

 

Jesus dude. Google is your friend.

 

I did a lot of jobe exercises. Did a lot of reps with very little weight for some of them, like 5 lbs, can up it to 10 after a few months.

people who can't max much always say that

It's a fun thing to do at the end of the week with your buddies

 

If you're not smart enough to do your own research I just don't know what to say. Everyone will have their own opinions when it come to working out and it will not fit into your routine.

 

At that low of a weight. I would bench as much as you can comfortable six times. Keep trying to improve to 10 times and when you are there, move up to a weight that you can bench six times. The most important thing is to have a good spotter that can give you 5 pounds of help when you are trying to get in those last two reps.


I went from working out with 125 pounds to 275 in about 3-4 months but that was when my body was starting to fill out so I had the size for it. If you weigh 125 pounds, getting to 275 will be difficult without some serious eating.

 

You think? My pectoral muscle tore off my shoulder. I don't know if I did something wrong, but something went really wrong...opted not to get surgery and will probably never touch bench press again. If I was the OP, I would stick to doing the 6 reps till he could get 10 up as suggested. I would throw in seeing what wieght I could get up 20 times once a month with a spotter. And there is no way you should bench every day. The only way to get stronger is to let you muscles rest. I would think twice a week is the most you should go at it.

 

Do I sense a roid rage?

 

max is useless...whats the point>

 

You're asking a board full of members who predominantly argue about who has the best fast food burger for workout advice. What did you expect?

 

OP sounds like he's definitely roid raging, probably injected too much.

 

don't even reply to this guy folks, he's act like little **** if you don't answer him the way he want you to.

OP get off your ass and go to the gym and learn **** for yourself. stop asking people on the web for advice.
