I was doing 225x10 within 3 years now I'm weaker after the gyms pissed me off over COVID and kept shutting down unexpectedly I did 2 years of bodyweight exercises now I'm back to 225x6 and 205x6 incline bench. The answer is not everyone takes it seriously but yes I agree 3 years of srs lifting you should be at 225x10

Even if you dont take it seriously, you can lift 2 times a week and hit upper and lower on day 1/2 and maintain that chit with ease.

Exactly why I started lifting again. Every man should bench working sets of 225, period.

Dumbbells supposedly equal like 17% lower weights than bb so more like 95-100lbs equiv.

Because noobs don't know how to program and men are too arrogant to realize they don't know what they are doing.

Besides a 300 lb lift is a lot for smaller people.

What program helped you make the most bench gains for everyone ITT who can hit 225x10 clean?

I used reverse pyramid to make the most progress. To peak I used Smolov JR.

I would use 4, 8, 12 with 30 lb drops each set.

Assuming you are using a 3x5 program now at say 240 working sets.

230x4, 200x8, 170x12

Move up every lift 5 lbs each time you do it. (2x per week) Once I got stuck I would reset with DB incline press and then rotate back.

Now my working sets look like this 310x4, 280x8, 250x12

I don't know dude, how come some people who have trained for 3+ years still can't do bw + 70 lbs for 8+ reps in pulllups?

It's almost like people have different strengths and goals.

OP can you even lift 225 once?
Going down on your cousin is like a non alcoholic beverage. Tastes the same, but just isn't right.

anyone with a developed back should be able to do that. if you train a body part and get strong, there's gonna be some level of crossover strength. After 3 years you should have a decent strength base.
