    The Race to a Four-Plate Bench Press (and onward)

    Continuing the trend of the six-plate deadlift (http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?p=497035851) and five-plate squat (http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?p=517842743) threads, welcome to the race to a four-plate bench press!

    This will take well over a year - perhaps years - but this log will show what dedication and hard work can do. This will be just like any other log, but will only be about bench pressing.

    Welcome to our journey.

    The rules:
    -If you bench press, you post.
    -If you think about bench pressing, you post.
    -If you are planning an awesome PR, you bring a camera.
    -If you fail a bench press... Ehh, screw it. It's not as impressive as a failed deadlift or squat.
    -If you win, you don't really win. Keep posting.
    -We will try to arrange for insane mod reps for winners.
    -Monetary prizes can be discussed at a later point in time.
    -For your four-plate bench press, you may only use chalk and a powerlifting arch (optionally). Touch n' go - if you can get 405 off your chest, you get credit. NO BOUNCING.
    -Since this contest includes people with varying bench press strength, we will judge a winner in the "most progress" category, the "strongest" category, and the "relatively strongest" category (using the Wilk's Coefficient: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilks_Coefficient).

    In for two plates!!

    Fixed.

    Jrahe, do you think I'd benefit from doing negatives on my benches? I've never tried it before. I'm thinking of putting like 275 on the bar, lowering it, having the spotter bring it back up, repeating...

    hmmm well your body would get use to the heavy weight faster, no doubt about that. To be honest i haven't trained negatives since i was in high school as i work out alone and hate asking for a spot. Probably be a good idea to try them, the both of us. As Blizzard does partial squats to get his comp depth squat up. Not saying half rep more weight on the bench, but i do think negatives would be beneficial as long as you have a good spotter. Those are hard to find these days.

    I did a great bench routine that made my bench go up 15-20 lbs in 10-11 weeks. Which may not seem to be a lot, but i haven't seen results like that since my early on noob gains.

    I would never be able to deal with throwing around light weights for eight weeks before I touched a new 1RM... Starting at 150? Sigh.

    Ed Coan was amazing, but that's pushing my patience.

    "500 fights, that's the number I figured when I was a kid. 500 street fights and you could consider yourself a legitimate tough guy. You need them for experience. To develop leather skin. So I got started. Of course along the way you stop thinking about being tough and all that. It stops being the point. You get past the silliness of it all. But then, after, you realize that's what you are."

    Just finished week 3 of Ed Coan bench program.

    Flat BB 205x8x2
    CGBP 185x8x2
    Incline BB 175x8x2

    Pretty easy so far. Should put me at 305 at the end of week 12 but I'm benching twice a week so it'll probably catch up to me fast.

    I figured that but I can do up to week 9 right now because I lowered my 1 RM by 10 lbs as suggested so hopefully I'll take it in stride. Twice a week may be hard to keep up with so I imagine I'll be dropping to once a week later on.

    nah your going 1 day light. if you want to progress do it 2x a week trust me. dropping your 1rm 10 lbs was a good idea you might be able to complete the program as written up just make sure your eating or taking in a lot of protein and sleeping 8+ hours a day

    I'm not doing the light day yet even though it's part of the program. Just the heavy part Monday and Thursday until it catches up with me. Then I'll throw the light in. Might mess it up but whatever, I'm impatient.

    I'm going to go for 245x1 on Monday and see how that feels when I'm fresh. If I get it, that means my bench has finally started going up again. My 1.25 pound plates are going to come in handy.
