Pyramids, 2 days a week have always helped me increase my strength and endurance on the bench. But of course it will also depend on how much you weigh as far as your max potential.

if you post a vid of you benching 405 ill believe you
How do I post a video using an iphone? Would I be able to upload it straight to youtube? I'll post a video of at least 450 and if I move back up in weight I'll try to keep my BF % low again and even post a video of that. I'm at 207 now so its gonna take me at least 8-12 months to get back to 220 lb. My only real concerns are my shoulders and elbows. I can't do some exercises anymore.
I'd like to hear how I defied science.
3%You clearly need to do some research on bf% and what each % looks like. There are SEVERAL pros at my gym and even if there weren't any I've done enough personal research to know. NO ONE IS 3%. They would be
.
I'm done with this thread, if dudes want to believe yourthat's up to them I've provided the proof to differentiate the real from the fake. Look up 500+ benches on youtube, then look up what pro bbers are on stage. If you think this guy was sitting at 5% and benching 500+ then that's on you.
Just know that he has provided NO proof like I said he would.
Like I said, this was 4+ years ago. I had no reason to video tape it.
Skip to 1:30. First test he tested at 7% BF second test he was at 3% BF.
The Body Builder who was 235 and 3% BF
Ken Yasuda - Professional Bodybuilder - Mr. Japan Bodybuilding Champion
Guy from ON talking about achieving 3% BF
Dude going from 20% BF to 4.5%
Article on Kelechi Opara - he maintains a 4.5% BF and goes below 3% certain times of the year.

Like I said, I had a professor from Minnesota use the caliper on me when I got certified as a personal trainer. The caliper isn't the most accurate but I trust the dude who measured me so if I wasnt 5% I was pretty damn close. I maxed 525 with in a few weeks of being measured.

I dont think this dude really knows what 5% is.
You were 5'10" 225 with 5% bodyfatnatural
That is competition level bodyfat. Meaning there is vascularity/striations in your lower abs..
At 225...
Benching 500+...
Those stats youre claiming means you were also ~50lbs heavier than the above guys... shredded...
Either you were stacking cycles, 15%+ bodyfat, or flat out lying. No offense breh, but it has to be called
I gave it the benefit of the doubt , but when you started arguing so vehemently about having 5% bodyfat, it turned into
I never touched a steroid. Never will. I never even went to HGH. People don't realize you can achieve what others do with steriods (with in reason). It just takes a lot longer and a lot more sacrifice. Nutrition, the right supps, and good routines you can achieve a low body fat % and still keep your strength. lol. I know I've done it. I swear on everything I love.
And the guys you posted are pre comp. They have a shyt ton of spray tan on, pumped up, and they have drained as much water from themselves as they possibly could. Thats like posting pics of a model chick and expecting her to look like that in person on a daily basis.
With my 3GS the quality is ok, just vid the weights then place off to the side of the bench or ask someone
If you really pushing that weight
but I'll say this sub 8% bf is contest type shyt that can't be held long
Alot of those vids those guys aren't that low even if they say they are, nevertheless I hope you do post a vid, will be a great motivational piece

nikkas max went from 250lbs on July 20th, to 325lbs today, word?
Some beautiful research here fukk that angel on the rag faggit
Angel On The Rag
I'm bloody hungry!!
oh, you mean research that i was doing 250 when i came back to the gym and it's been about 14-15 weeks since then?
and you wanna fukk me? no thanks, im not on your gay team
my max 1 rep is 365...at the time i bench that i was taking a prohormone and that shyt gave me incredible gains..prior to taking it i was benching 275-280 and couldn't get past it...i didn't have a chance to go higher though before i was done with it..but that's my max 1 rep for the time being
im cool with near advanced...to get elite i have to bench between 380-395....im good on that for the time being...i do 285 im straight
had a shoulder injury that kept me from benching/doing sit-ups
was able to bounce back all the way up to 315+ within a yr
I'd say #1 is consistency, #2 is proper rest (EXTREMELY IMPORTANT), #3 dumbbells expose you, #4 benching is a total upper body workout, neglecting tri's/forearms etc only makes it harder
I can't stress the resting part enough though.

270 in March. Havent benched since school let out. I've been doing mostly cardio and dumbels trying to lose weight. Just had finger surgery so I've been on the shelf for the last week though hampering my progress.
Elite
Haven't done a 1-rep max since they tested us in college and that was 415lb. Now I finish at 325lb and usually hit between 6-9 reps.
Most I've done on the 225lb test is 28 reps
