Sorry for being negative, but I never trust these "300 pounds on 12 week" stuff. There are far too many factors that vary from one individual to another. What worked for the author most probably won´t work for me. Don´t try to fool anyone...

I am doing this workout and I am noticing great improvements. I have never been lifting this much weight and I am right on scheldule.

thats exactly what i think. Sure, it might be a good workout, but how can it make everybody to lift that much in 12 weeks. I think genetics would play a part

Well, for all those with the negative responses, you can try and see for yourself.
I think this is a program anybody can try for a change.
As far as genetics go, it is more history of training (powerlifting or bodybuilding) that matters. for example 5 reps on 225 might mean 260lbs of 1RM for an average guy with powerlifting background, and just 240 for a bodybuilder.
I have just a few notes. First, Westside barbell showed that dips are a little counted productive for increasing the bench (although an exercise I love). I am not commenting, IU am just noting - what works for some doeas nopt work for others and vice versa.
Second, I think this article should have been called "How I benched 300lbs in 12 weeks"
Good luck and stay strong!

Worked for me! at the 11 week mark I benched 300

If you look at the program itself you see that you are not actually going from 225 to 305, what you are going is from 225 to 275 and then one-rep maxing on week 12 at 305. If you look at the one rep max guide, if you can do 225 five times, you can max at 253. So you are really impoving your strength by 52 pounds over 12 weeks. Not knocking the program, but it is important to understand what's actually going on.
