Tim Talks: Increasing your bench press FAST

[badboy95ca]

doing shoulder exercises when on chess day is good and bad...good being the the latic acid will also be release to the shoulder area thus sharing a limiting it the chess area...lactic acid is what make you muscles sore...bad is because you do not want to over do and think its a shoulder day workout, so doing light reps and low sets is the best ways to concentrate on chess work out on a chess day

[zaynesladedu]

Hey Tim, what type of protein do you take??

[JTompkins16]

So ive just started going to the gym a month ago yesterday and i started my max the first day at 155 and yesterday i put up 180 and was feeling really good and my friend had me doing my bench like you were talking about my goal is 250 by 7/30

[adfadfewfrewafawefaw]

wow this really helps a lot

[Andrew11999933]

can u make a video of all your workout routines???

[bigfuckinmentalist]

cock sucker!

[khoadog]

well a month ago i told u i can bench 105.well i now bench 110 and on some good days i can bench 115.(im a small guy).im following yur advise of doing 5 reps 5 sets.i stay at the same weights at 110 throughout all my sets is tht ok?and also how many days should i take a break after i did most of my week working out

[JOTMAN619]

music in the back is such a put off!! :@

[lfroggyl]

should i be doing this once or twice a week???

[khoadog]

i bench 105 3 times for 3 sets.would tht be ok i wanna increase my bench to 120 by the end of december thts like 3 months from now .how do i do tht?

[rgmember00]

idk if the 5 of 5 works. it sounds pretty good tho. i do 6 sets of 4 increasing by 10lbs each set and on the last set im 10lbs away from my max. so i dont decrease weight i increase. it seems to work really good for me. i do the 6 of 4 for squat clean and bench and everything else i do 5 of 6. what do u think

I am going to try this. i can single rep max out at 180. But i can't get 180 all the time like say i got it today i probly wouldn't be able to get 180 again for like 3 days. but i gernally range between 160 - 180... it dont seem good. ): But i can pretty much do 145 bout 5-10 times. and i would have a problem with the step down from 145 to 140 as i don't have the right weights for that. so should i just go to 130 my next lowest weight number?

[TruxSkillz1]

I'm going to try this to help increase. I can max out at a single rep of 180 but it seems to be my limit cause i can get it one day. and wont be able toget it for a few days. i seem to average around 160-180 for a bench but should i use like 145, 5 times then drop by 5 for every set?

[Spartanintraning1212]

OMG this is what i did my sophomore year! My dad always told me about it... I started my sophomore year benching 170... I ended benching 255. This workout definitely works, but once you get used to it you're SCREWED... after all that i went on an 8 month plateau :/

[jcube34]

this sounds good bro i gotta get my bench up fast for football next year, right now i max 205 and i usually start with 135 10x 145 8x 155 4x 165 4x. what do you think i should do for the 5 for 5

[Spartanintraning1212]

@jcube34 it depends... How do you feel when you do the 165? I think i was doing 5 x 5 with 185 when i could max 205. So try with about 175 only if you can... if you can't don't worry about it. just go down by 5's til you get the 5, then you'll know where to start :)

[amjennison25]

I'm 16 and can bench 185 and I weigh 145 but ive been stuck at the same max for over a month, ive tried lots of different things, can you give me some tips to help me raise my max

[kfpatricio]

i just started benching back in October..back then i could only bench press 135 pounds lol im now up to 250 and working my way up..the reason im commenting your vid is because the method i came up with to increase strength fast through trial and error is almost identical to yours lol..some months, if its a good month i increase 5 pounds every week not every two weeks

[CopenYotas]

for the past month ive been doing my chest on mondays using freeweights and finishing my routine on the bench. every friday i do chest again to see where i am at but go for my 3 rep max. I have been jumping 10lbs every week. il give your routine a shot and see what gains i can make this way. If i went from 170 to 220 in just over 1 month i can only imagine what gains il see. This could be because i have only been lifting for about 4 months and am getting beginner gains.

[lazacabaza]

Like the video but turn off the music impossible to hear.

[MrJakieboyaction]

okay so i can bench press 225 7 times what should i start with for my first set

[tswetcoff]

230 5 sets of 5 would work great

[flimboob123]

[tswetcoff]

breaking benjamin- follow me :D

[colonshaguar]

[tylerchowen]

[comperko]

[CasualLuxuries]

I love how your shirt matches your huge pillow on your bed.

[wbc2512]

Hey man im gonna check this out, thanx for the vid. just a quick question do u consume alcohol when on the so called "gym diet"?

[knewok]

@wbc2512 if your serious about body building and your looks you dont drink.. and if your on a gym diet you dont drink.. alchohol is pure empty calories, meaning your body cannot use them, its all made of the same thing.. sugar and carbs.. might as well eat bricks of butter.. 1 beer is like 180 calories which is insane, to work that off in the gym would take for fucking ever

[celconicuzn]

If you are worried about 180 calories then you must have some seriously half-assed workouts.

[knewok]

but if you go out and drink 12.. which most 20 year olds do.. then your drinking 1300 calories in one sitting.. plus eating snacks at the bar and then including all the other meals you eat threw the day by the time the days over youve eaten 4500 calories if not more.. full of sugar carbs and fat.. all of which any serious bodybuilder wouldnt want in his diet

[rawnie79]

nice shirt ...

[xxxbob3391]

nice video ill have to try this out some time

[gbaxter1234]

i havent tryed the 5 for 5 thing but i know its kinda like the till fault negatives ill try it and tell you if i go up 5 pounds in 2 weeks

[tswetcoff]

sweet deal baxter keep me up to date!

[ALIITERRITORY15]

so you basically have to work on your shoulders to increase your bench press? and does back/lateral workouts help you increase on your bench press as well?

please write back

[Crunketh]

Whats your workout routine and how often like what do you do during the week

[rpfotsebeht]

I plateaud in my bench press and decided to stop doing bench press for a while to start doing flat dumbell presses and incle db presses. Do you think it will help me increase my bench in a couple of weeks? Im also training my shoulders and triceps preety heavy.

[Black0nWhite]

How often do you weight lift?

[tswetcoff]

i use a 5 day split

[tswetcoff]

i do it once a week and its been great! :) i do it for shoulder days aswell

[XFellN2YesterdayX]

ive been doing the 5x5 for the past 3 weeks and its awesome, i highly recommend it.

so i weight 135, or less, and i can bench 150, im 16, 5'8

is that decent, im trying to max 175 buy the end of school.

[tswetcoff]

try to do 5 pounds a week increase

[tswetcoff]

thats very good, but be sure to keep up the hard work!

[eyetubeit]

im 14 and weigh 120 and i max out at 165, is that good

[skylinelover08]

i weigh 172 at 5 foot 8 inches.. im currently doing 5 sets of 5 reps on every exercise. so basically wut im doing is im working out close to 20 pounds less than my max. and i have seen excellent gains. i started working out 4 months ago at 175 as my max.. im currently doing 240 as my max. member if u want to gain mass. keep low sets with low reps. 5 sets of 5 is perfect. AND INTAKE ALOT OF PROTEIN AND CREATINE AND GLUTIMINE.

[muck0nator]

im just wondering, this is my usual bench pyramid

155 x 10

165 x 6-7

175 x 4-5

185 x 2-3

should i switch to 5x5? im looking for strength and mass.. thanks brah subbed

[Kevinkim7]

335!!!! OMG. Im 16 and i can only bench 135

[muck0nator]

lol 135. impressive.. if you weigh 80 pounds.

[Kevinkim7]

i weigh 135 pounds and i can bench 135

[muck0nator]

you are 16 and you weigh 135? thats a joke man get some meat on your puney ass frame

[Kevinkim7]

i know im pretty skinny but i cant gain weight for some reason. I eat junk food and fast food pratically everyday but the pounds arent gaining

[hioxd]

Because your eating incorrectly-_- you don't gain muscle and weight by eating fatty foods, protein dude.

[muck0nator]

exactly.

[FS201]

yeah i'm 17 i can bench 205

only because i eat right ...

[manonfirex42]

[yoyoadriankingofgame]

@Kevinkim7

Im 15 and only bench 165

[hioxd]

Will doing the 5x5 make me bigger tim?

[hioxd]

Also where do i get proteinnn shakes or something i don't want anything like creatine or whatever i want something that won't give me kidney disease lolol thanks tim;D

[deadjailorrocknroll]

you do 335 pounds ? what, for 8 reps ? shit, my chest is something that people comment on and i can just hit the 300... ah well, its all subjective i guess. i base mine on the incline press, cos lets face it, it all goes down south when you get older...

[byakuugan914]

110, sounds like a bit much, I'll definitely give it a go when I have my brother available to spot. What would seem like a reasonable resting time between sets?

If they are digging the code, it's in secrecy. I'm a fairly shy dude so if they're sending off signals I'm not catching them, but that's a completely separate issue.

[tswetcoff]

Code is a very confident fragrance, you have to have a confident attitude when you wear it, next time you wear it go talk to some random girl and when shes smell it youll know it! ; )

just try the 110 as long as you safe and have a spotter it will do nothing but help you, it you wana get stronger youll eventually press it for reps! rather sooner than later right??

[byakuugan914]

Sometimes the simplest and most obvious advice is the best, but ironically overlooked the most. Which I am guilty of, I'll give it my best next time.

Thank you good sir.

[byakuugan914]

I definitely want to try this, I've been stuck on my bench press for at least 3 months.

I have a question though, I usually do 3 sets of 8 with 90lbs, and I was wondering if I went to 5 sets of 5, how should I readjust the weight (if at all) to compliment the change of sets and reps?

-Thank you good sir.

And by the way I have Armani Code in my collection as well, and it is pretty win. I'm glad I found someone who uses it, everyone in my college usually wears 5 dollar body sprays.

[tswetcoff]

u bet i would go for 5 set of 5 reps of about 110, and you see your chest strong start to sore! btw armani code is a sick scent i bet the ladies are very fond of it arent they?? ;)

[hioxd]

Dam i wanna be big too lolol i gotta start workign out again im startign to gain weight finally timm WOOO, im tired of being skinny and cut i just wanna get biggerrr
