First off: sick lift. Second off: I can tell you're not a douche bag meat head. I think most people would be like 325 X 2.5 reps just to boost their ego. But not only do you do fucking heavy weight, you do it with impeccable form. I can't wait for chest day on Friday cause of this. Thanks for the motivation.
that spotter was pure bullshit.. i dont care what u say, with that much weight and the way he struggled on the first rep, you must always be ready as spotter (ie with hands prepared), whereas this fool was hands on hip as if he was gna bust out all 8 reps by himself
@Sporto4323 Any tips on how to instantly increase flat bench press? I've been trying to get to 135 for a long time now and i've just not been able to get out of the sticking point . I think it might be by technique since i;ve been able to go heavier and heavier on db bench press.
@imvincenzo10 - Honestly, it's been my experience that most training plateaus are primarily a result of inadequate nutrition than anything else (given that you aren't near your genetic potential yet). If form is good and your training split isn't retarded, it's probably because you aren't giving your body enough of what it needs to synthesize new muscle tissue...
@Sporto4323 My meta. is very fast. Do you think it would make it turn into fat if I start to stuff myself? I've tried eatting small portions throughout the day, does nothing. Usually people with a medium meta. can just do 2x what they eat now to put on muscle, i;ve tried that. No luck. Any suggestions? Food plan ? I'd greatly appreciate that. also, i don't take protein shakes but i get twice my weight of protein just out of food . Idk what the problem.
youre spotter is fucking awesome, and youre fucking awesome for being a man, and knowing that spotters are onlly there in case of emergencies, but if the bar is moving stay the hell away!!!
I;ve been watching your videoes and i like them all but i was reading the description and yesterday someone showed me the angle they had there inclinde Dumbell press and it was alot lower then mine could you maybe tell me the usual incline you have?
Yes, in fact I don't do the incline in this video any longer - I actually set up my incline press in the squat rack and use the adjustable bench to press from a lower angle. Reason being, lower the angle, the more you hit upper chest and the less you hit front delt. I want as much upper chest as possible, so I only use a slight incline - I will worry about front delts on shoulder day :)
@Sporto4323 higher reps imo are better than lower reps for muscle building.i suggest to people to do 8-10 for building muscles. strength is musch lower, and powerbuilding id say 5-7.
I will definitely have to agree to disagree with you on this one. Also, "higher" and "lower" are relative terms. This just happens to be a poor set that I only get 2 reps with. The 4-6 and 6-8 rep range are the best bang for your buck rep ranges for a natural. The 8-10 rep range is important, but not as much as the 4-8 rep range to a natural bodybuilder. For instance, diet down to the striated glutes level of leanness using only the 8-10 rep range and see how much musle you burn through...
@trashbash2001 for me they have worked better. all lower reps have done for me is stimulate my cns. you dont like my post go trashbash someone else. i prefaced my psot by saying IN MY OPINION.
@rctriplefresh5 hmmm, i dont see a "in my opinion" anywhere on your post, but ok. I didnt say i didnt like it. I was just askin. chill man, its all good.
its pretty much common knowledge (or at least it should be) that lower reps at about 85% of your 1RM contribute much more to muscle breakdown and subsequent hypertrophy (aka growth) whereas higher reps at about 65-75% of 1RM would contribute more to definition
so to sum up.. Sporto4323 is absolutely correct..if you see guys in your gym getting huge and your wondering why..its because they lift HEAVY.
You don't just pull up fast though, you give the least help possible so they still have to work to get it up. Thats the difference between a good spotter and a bad one.
Thanks! As long as the exercises I'm doing makes the chest grow, I could car less about the bench weight I use :) It would be nice to crack 400+ though!

1) this is not showing off for the camera.
2) higher reps doesn't do near as much for muscle growth as heavier reps.
3) You have a lot to learn before you develop a good looking physique. Your knowledge is completely wrong. Sorry, it's the truth.
