re: OT workout crew: Bench 3x per week to increase your bench..

I used to squat 3x5 MWF. Got to where I LOVED to squat

I only do curls.

You gotta do all of that upper body stuff with the cable machine if you want maximum gainz bro.

Hope you're taking all of your pre and during and post workout supplements.

bench more often to increase your bench

who would have thought

I did a strength routine once that included bench 5 times a week, but it was only 2 sets per day and 2-3 reps per set. It actually worked really well for increasing my 1rm. I used the same routine for legs also.

The theory was that rather than breaking down muscle fibers during your workout with high volume or intensity, you were slowly conditioning them to be able to lift about 5% more per week.

Sounds like a shitty idea to me.

You have gone loco. 30 minutes tops 1 time a week if there is an eclipse.

I use to do bench twice a week for bench competitions but that was max. It was a heavy day and lightweight explosive day.

It really did help doing that. I got up to 435 no bands or shirts

Do you even squat bro?
