In roughly 1 month and a couple of weeks my bench went up from 185 to to 250 since i started bulking..I know to you guys this is nothing but it felt pretty good seeing this gain so quickly. How did this max go up so fast and so much in such a little time, can i expect to see an increase somewhat the same in next months max if i keep things the way they are? just wondering
well first of all, were you juicing??? secondly, if not, newbie gains come on quickly. or else you just werent giving it your all when you benched 185.
I'm gonna go with Neuromuscular Adaptation. And yes, the gains will slow, because once you maximize your nervous system, in order for strength gains to occur, the muscle must enlarge. Enlargement (hypertrophy) requires more time than the neuromuscular component.
Congrats on your progress.
no wasnt juicing..im only 17 however when i benched the 185 i noticed my strength decreased seeing how i was cutting at this time.Then a month and a little bit got bulking and started seeing an increase in strength but the difference in strength from my last max suprised me.. Thanks hypertrophy

My chest workout usually looked like this rep scheme 10,8,6,6 increasing weight everyweek or trying to get 1 or 2 more reps or partial reps in.Quote:

Then i would alternate between the 2
I would drop the crossovers for some decline dumbell flyes or dips if I were you... crossovers arent a very good bulking exercise.
With bulking you're elevating your body fat and providing your body with more nutrients since you're no longer in a calorie deficit which will in turn increase your natural testosterone levels... most likely has something to do with your impressive gains.
increase bench= do legs
