I've brought peoples bench up 30 lbs just by working on technique in a single session. -------------- Iron and chalk. Pain is only temporary, it is in your mind.

	2006/04/29, 08:52 PM Agreed wrestler....most peoples technique on bench is horrible...if he's an average person then he can add 30 lb just by changing his form....and 6 weeks is a decent amount of time...6-8 weeks is often used as a cycle to gain strength....hell i prolly added 10-15lb just by improving my form even more slightly and focused on maintaining proper tension during 1rm...which is vital...

My bench went up 25 pounds in the last six weeks (155 to 180). You just gotta do the right workouts and bust your butt with training AND recovery. -------------- I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle-victorious. --Vince Lombardi "Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it.
