Technical 295lb bench max. What now?
These clips are from this month, and I’ve been hovering around this same weight for the past 2 to 3 months. For reference, I’m 6’1 and around 185 to 190 lbs depending on the day. I bench 2 to 3 times a week and usually stay in the 2 to 6 rep range while training around 0 to 1 RIR, although I honestly haven’t failed a lift in a while. I don’t follow any specific program and mostly piece things together myself from different tips and methods I’ve picked up over time. I’ll throw in a few accessories throughout the week when I feel like it.
Funny enough, I usually don’t do any additional chest movements because I bench so frequently already. Most sessions are around 3 to 5 working sets. My chest is also disproportionately bigger than the rest of my physique, especially my arms, which you can probably notice in the videos, so that’s another reason I don’t focus much on extra chest work.
Right now I’m struggling to decide whether I should do a slight bulk or a slight cut because I’ve basically been maintaining without tracking calories or food at all. My main goal is to hit a 315 bench as quickly as possible and to not look like crap while doing so, so any tips would be appreciated!
