Benching 225

[b-rizzle]

I maxed out last month at 185. I havent maxed since, but could get atleast 190 now(maybe even 200). yesterday i just started creatine. saying i had a pretty good diet and over 8 hours of sleep when will i be able to max 225? i know this seems like a hard to answer question, but i wana set a goal. will i not really hit a plateau since i just started creatine?

[T-Roach]

mmm, with good diet a month

[viciouspoultry]

You'll probably get 225 by June if you really work hard

how long have you been lifting? I'd probably say to add 35 pounds on a max bench around 2 months if your still relatively new. It all depends on the person and how hard they push themself though.

i ve been seriously lifting for 6 months. i feel like i have hit a little bit of a plateau. last week i stated reaseaching creatine and i think it is a good supplement cause my atp sucks. shouldnt my bench jump because the fact im gettin on creatine?

I think he was being sarcastic. Doesn't a month seem a little too short to gain 25lbs on your bench? Unless if he is kind of new I don't see it happening in a month. Maybe 5-10lbs a month onto your bench so I'd guess 2-4 months.

wow just wow...calling a senior member to you a noob when he is making a joke post that you took seriously. Tommorow could be a real possibility if he lets the creatine act with a placeebo affect and give him the confidence to do more than he thought he could

haha im in the same boat as you kinda, i started working out in september and i can bench around 185 for my max right now, im trying to get 225 , something about those 2 45s sitting each side of the bar is just DRIVING ME TO GET THERE!!!

[Serjin]

you need to give urself more time.

Creatine is not a miracle supp... Creatine won't make your bench jump up by 35-45 pounds, it will be your diet/sleep patterns and determination. Whenever I reach a plataeu I just switch up my workout and throw in some new stuff.... maybe take a week off. Make sure your working your triceps really good during the week as well.

[eeSH_davey]

Eat some pasta before you go to sleep and then when you wake up grab a protein shake and a baked potatoe...wait about 45-60 min and go jump on the bench. If we're talking about actually maxing out, I bet it could be done within a month and a half depending on how serious you take it. Just make it priority.

Train shoulders and arms real hard over the next few weeks and your bench will go up.

I maxed at 210 a month ago and with a good diet and adding creatine, I'm now at 215. That seems like a lot of strength gain in a really short time period. I'd give it longer than that.

if you take cell tech you can get it within 10 minutes of ingestion of cell tech.

wats ur bench routine look like and wat exercises do u do 4 your tris?

[whitesox3223]

lot of you sayin a month?
so 2 months of training to go from 185 to 225? dont think so. unless you seriously focus on benching maybe. somethin like smolov squat cycle for squatting,,, u get the concept.

happened with me on my new mass stack from NxLabs.... my previous flat bench max was 225x1, yesterday i did 225x5(spotter helped on last one) and i felt like my chest was seriously going to rip off, but i did it! lol

i always get that way with supps i take, thats why i love supps...
