But, if you can add 60lbs in just 3 weeks to your bench like it claims, it would definately be worth it. Problem is, you don't know anything about it until you pay up.

However, remember that it is important to change your routine to prevent muscle adaptation. As a general rule 4-6 weeks is widely accepted as time for a change, but guess what everyones different so you can throw that out the window. Everyone has a different genetic makeup therefore you need to experiment!

But I know that for a lot of those that bench more than I, I am the overall stronger one. I guess being strong all around is more important than pressing 300. Besides the guys I have seen pressing that heavy almost always get hurt.

It always about the bench. John, I like that acronymn, it is catchy. I will have to remember it and of course give you props! -------------- Ischjli "Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." -- T. S. Elliot

To date the most I've ever benched is 195 lbs. I don't care. I acutally just started saying that it had no bearing on what I was trying to do because I wasn't a powerlifter. -------------- Practice does NOT make perfect. Perfect practice does.
SRZrasoul Posts: 153 Joined: 2002/07/03	2002/07/19, 11:56 AM well, variety is good, but like the FT site says, follow exercises as they are given. to whom ever has completed the special 12 week mass program, when do the exercises change and become more intense, if they do? its not that im hung up on benching, but hey, who wouldnt like a nice big strong chest?

No one in the gym is impessed with someone doing parial sets and slopping heavy weight off their chest. Do you want to impress yourself with results or impress people that don't know shit about bodybuilding with how much you say you can bench. don't waste the cash.
