Is that lmao2pl8?

Was that at the end of a hard workout?
Literaly what is his excuse to struggle lmao2pl8 for even one fucking rep lel.

what is going through kais mind?

>>36737115
Incline IS harder tbf

>>36737123
What is a reasonable ratio of flat to incline weights

>>36737140
100 incline, 130 regular. In kilos
85-90 ohp

>>36737140
It varies man. When I was a senior in high school my incline max was 250 and flat bench was 270. I was the strongest at incline( school was small) but there were several guys benching more than me, at around 275-300 but there incline max was 225-245 so it varies I guess. I would say 60-20 lb difference is the safe bet.

>>36737140
less than half

Dunno, i can never get incline form properly, maybe because of flexibility.
Like it doesnt feel right if i dont wide grip the bar. If i tried to incline bench the way i flat bench the bar would touch me below the sternum

they are fucking weak
seriously man what the hell?

They look fantastic, but i thought roids make you stronger as well? Or do they allways lift with 10-20 reps?

>>36738395
idk, ive never tried doing all that shit for "warm-up" and then doing a chest routine like that. you sound like you're pretty strong tho so how about you give it a shot for me

>>36738395
Theyre not maxing out, just going volume

>>36738417

Well i lifted for strength for 2 years before cutting and focusing on aesthetics now.

I am 6' and weigh 205lb, bodyfat is arround 15-20%.

I rep lmao2pl8 for 15-20 times (depends if a good or a bad day) but look nowhere as good as these guys.

Well maybe i will be weak as well after cutting all that fat.

>>36738395
Bodybuilders focus on wearing out the muscle.

>kai greene
>weak
Kai is strong as an Orc, man. Most of his sets just consists of high reps.

>>36738527
if you watch the vid kai for lmao 3 pl8 and lmfao4pl8 for repz later.

6' 205 15-20% bf? im 6' 230 in the same range and Ive been lifting ~1 yr. purely focusing on size and aesthetic. I couldnt imagine weighing so little and trying to incline 2pl8 right now cause I am cutting. But you said you trained for strength. I plan to do more strength focused stuff this offseason

>>36738598

Im talking about jeff seid and alon gabbay.

OFC i now kai greene is a fucking beast my man.

1 last day of 10x3 and I'm done my first cycle. Before, my max was 245x2, and last week I repped 275x1 with ease. So who knows what my actual max is, I'll test it again in a week.

This.
I'm in the phase between intermediate/advanced, so I'm not sure how you'll respond to the program.

If you're doing it anyway, make sure you do face pulls/band pull aparts after your set and always warm up your rotator cuff before benching.

Food and sleep are very important with all this volume; you will overtrain if you don't get enough, trust me.
