Macenko is actually a workout made to build strength, when you follow it, it should add 20-25lbs to your 1RM benchpress

people have good success with it so I am giving it a try, if all goes well, it should bring me close to my 315 I want before end of the year

Hmmm, think I may give it a shot down the road. Right now i'm just using a basic routine to build up some inital strength before I move onto anything indepth

Waves, ah my first post. That didn't hurt one bit.

**Beccag23** · 04-24-2013, 03:29 AM

I'm completely behind in here.... So welcome to all the new people!

4.5 weeks out for me, totally on track according to the coach.... Feeling huge on my end though. Really not adjusting to being "bigger". Although benching a plate this close to a show feels pretty sweet

What's up with everyone else?!

I'm still a twig over here, patiently waiting for my supplements to arrive, though they seem to have been stuck in NJ for about a week now

haha true.
Well the order was already made for the supplements, so I may as well use them when they arrive. Just gotta figure out the whole "whats right for me" deal

That takes a lot time. I've been training for 7 years and I'm still figuring that part out lol.

Haha yeah, you have quite a bit of time on me. Back in the winter I was training, but had to stop due to some presonal reason.
Now I'm on week 3 of my new program. Getting back on the meal plan my previous trainer set me up with and figured I'd give some work out stacks a shot, I know they're not needed, but at the same time they could help.
Hit the bench press today before work for 4 sets of 10 at 50lbs. I know it doesn't seem like much but I feel pretty damn proud of it hahaha

Everybody starts somewhere... I was stalled on bench with my last programming, doing 175x3x8... Last night I nailed 170x5x5.

Onwards and upwards!

Oddly no, lol. By all rights my heart just should have said "to hell with this" and exploded hahaha.
Got to the point that they didn't even hype me up, was just like a coffee is to coffee drinkers
