what does everybody use to bench?

[unclem]

how much weight does everyone use on a regular basis how much in lbs? i use 200 sometimes 225 but no more......

 

[rosoo]

I use very little but i do more sets and reps as i always workout alone

 

[HGH.to]

you never bench than 225 lbs? i guess doing lots of reps?

 

[unclem]

yes, lots of reps 15- 20 sometimes 25 reps, dont want to risk injury.

 

[HGH.to]

25 reps with 225 lbs is very impressive

 

[unclem]

no brother thats with 200lbs is the 25 reps lol. i can get 21-22 reps with 225 though. but i get a massive pump when i do 225 for 15 reps x 6 sets, iam 57, so, i dont want to tear anything, so i warm up real good first.

I use about 120, cycle grips and inclination. I'll try to keep it held for as many sets as I can to begin with, then towards then end really slow on the negatives and hold the lowest point for a 3 count. I'd pair that with cable pulls with 90° elbow to hit the upper inner heads.

use small amounts of deca for joints support

 

[unclem]

never had a injury except i blew out my hip squatting 6 weeks ago so i got a new hip joint . but iam still lifting now. all is going well but i can only leg press light stuff. i got to get some deca i only have a few ml left, good idea.

 

[HGH.to]

yeah, deca can help speed up the recovery
