gettinswoll Posts: 1 Joined: 2006/11/06	2006/11/06, 07:13 PM i have recently started back to workin out and my bench has never seen better days. so i was just wondering how to make it go up even more. i am currently ata 345 single rep max and work out with three different percentage workouts.i use the tried and true 8,6,4,2,1 and the 7,6,5,3,7. and occasionaly i attempt to do the most that i remeber from the russian cyle. but i cant remember the most or it. so i am looking for someone who knows a really effective bench work out that will get me up over 400 so i can hit that goal and set a new one.

In this case, switching his diet around, taking a week off, or changing around his lifting routine could help him through his plateau.
