Been many years since I hit 315lb, max reps I did was for 4. Regarding jumping from 275 to 315, I just focused on increasing my rep range on 275 (managed to get up to 10 reps on that weight). Then made the jump to 315.

There's no secret in getting from any certain 1RM max to another... depending on your size you may just be very near your maximum strength, although probably not. But once you get near it it can take forever to make gains. I got to a 300 lb. bench by 16 at 185 lb., and didn't get to 315 until 19 at 200 lb. Took until 23 at 215 lb. to get to 340, now I'm 24 and 180 lb. and am back to 315.
Just bench heavy often, it'll go up.**Georgia Crew**

Normally I would worry about him quarter repping 385 and claiming that proves "almost 4 plates", but I have a feeling he would crush himself doing that.
I don't understand your thought process. Programming and progression make all the difference in the world.
Making the same mistakes more often do little to help you progress. Also HIGHLY skeptical of your Age 16 300 pound bench in the 185 class.Last edited by Austanian; 03-08-2018 at 01:18 PM.

Trying to get your ideal outcome often leads to the passing up of practical alternatives that deny your adversaries theirs.

Bench 4-5 times a week using different variations. Find your sticking points and hammer the chit out of them. In any given week on my programming my two main movements are Bench and Slingshot with Incline, Legs Up, and close grip as my secondary variations. Isolate your shoulders and triceps as well.
It also took gaining some weight. I'm about 187 right now but I could pretty confidently hit 325/330 if I programmed to peak.Gym PRs - S 400 / B 320 / D 500

Used to rep 325 when I was in my early twenties. We would supplement our bench routine a few different ways. Negative reps, load up and have a spotter and go slowly down and assisted up. Pause reps, just as they sound, lower to the chest and touch light enough to be able to pull a piece of paper out from between the bar and chest, pause was for about 2 seconds. Keep tension in the chest and dont relax at anytime for this. And lastly load up the bar to max or above. Unrack it and hold it at the top for a few moments. This helps get through the awkward feeling of the unrack and having a massive amount of weight on the bar.

I’m just saying there’s no magical program or exercise that gets you to 315 from 275. Find a good PL’ing/strength program even if it’s basic, find your weakest muscles and hammer them, eat a lot and bench a lot.
Dunno what to tell you bout my bench at 16, I ran Texas method for 3.5 years straight. Didn’t even know it then, just was listening to my weight training coach. Couldn’t squat 225 tho lmao.
I’m still close with about 10 Bros from that class that could vouch, and could go back to my high school and find my dated signature on the power rack I did it on, if you really want some sort of proof.**Georgia Crew**

Yessssssssssssss
I'm pumped for this. Nothing better than seeing a light bulb click on when you teach people something
You're going to be repping 315 by summer
EDIT: If you do any more benching before we talk, text me a video please. Preferably one where I can see your wrist and hand position and not one side onTraining log: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=165829701

Did 5x5 and 10x3 till 385, could of kept doing it to atleast 405 but was forced to start cutting (Military) It only took about 4-5 months to get from 275 bench to a 385 bench with my program.
5'7 200 lbs, around 20% bodyfat, 19 years old
Been working out for 3 months after a 2 year break. Currently benching 365 lbs after 3 months, just came off a 2 month ankel injury and deadlifted 405 for 10, and then 455 for 6, not sure what my max is. Squat is **** for now, confident I can get it to high 400's to 500 in a few months.
Stats when I was 17
Bench 325 @183 lbs
Squat 435 @183 lbs
Deadlift 525 @183 lbs

I think people in general who preach "natty limit" while in their early 20s or late teens honestly don't know what they are talking about.
While it is true that I dont see many people benching 315, it doesn't mean that nobody reps it easily.
The long and short of it is you need to put the work in - just SMH at the talk about perms and gear for a weight that is certainly achievable with committed training.
