on week 1 of the 50lbs in 50 days bench routine

I just finished my second workout of this routine. so far i like it alot but i just performed a full rep with the weight i was supposed to do a negative with. does this mean i should move up to a 220 max? i started with a 215 max btw.

for anyone who knows what im talking about, this is what ive done so far for bench

Week 1

Workout 1 (Monday)
165 x 6
180 x 5
180 x 5
185 x 4
185 x 4

Workout 2 (Friday)
185 x 3
185 x 3
200 x 2
200 x 2
[B]220 x 1 THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A NEGATIVE ONLY[/B]

Now does this mean i should move up to a 220 max for week 2 of the program? When i maxed i had just come off a bad cold and i guess my strength wasnt back up yet.

yip,at first its just a guide plus maybe you didnt warm up enough when you went for your max and while doing the routine the prev. sets warmed you up better than when you did your max or it was your cold.

Is this the muscle media one I posted the other day?

that may be it. before i had a cold i maxed at 225, but just barely. i maxed again after the cold and 215 felt very heavy so i didnt attempt any higher. going to 220 would be a good idea i guess then. if all goes well on this program my max will be 245 at the end, which is very close to my ultimate goal of 250

and yes, i think i did get the routine from ur post

I bet if you push yourself you can make 255. I'm the same height and weigh just 7lbs more than you and my max is 245 and I'm trying to gain back my 270, so I'm proof that you've got a good change of getting that max with your current stats, let me know what you get in 7 weeks, I'm hoping for 265.
Good luck!

that cool bro it looks like your getting bigger when is your update on pics and how big is your arms are now they go to be alot bigger
