Most STRENGTH on BENCH GAINED ON CYCLE

[methyl]

Whats the most Strength you've ever gained Bench press ON cycle, What was it?

[bjpennnn]

depends on to many things I ran a cycle when i was 19 started out maxing 245 and ended up repping 225 15 times as my warm up at the end. Cycle length, diet, genetics, compounds use all have to do with it.

Not to mention those with pathetic bench presses to begin will undoubtedly make the most gains provided they actually begin to eat/train correctly, as they have the most potential for growth.

[theryano]

agree with taiwanguy...truth

my bench has always sucked but i remember when i did my first ph cycle my bench max before the cycle became my overhead press after the cycle lol

I got out of the gym for a few years and shortly after starting back I did a test e cycle. My bench jumped 125 lbs. Been off 3 months since then and managed to only go up another 10 since that time.

I ran a prohormone (Spawn) cycle and went from 225 x 12 to 315 x 8. When I came off cycle, I was back to 225 x 12. I started my first test cycle 10 weeks ago. I am now at 315 x 11. If I have a spotter I can get 12 or 13.

I decided that my benchpress will never be impressive. Now I just care about Deadlifts, Squats and BB Shoulder Press. Those are my strong points

[bjpennnn]

Bench press to me is meh, when i see a big guy get up there and do perfect form pull up i have much respect. I take pride in my pull ups.

315x11 is an impressive bench to me

[Little Herc]

3 plates is my goal on bench 4 plates would be nice but for my height and body type I realize its not gonna happen any time soon.

[Kibble]

315x11 is an impressive bench to me

I used to think it was, until I got it. Then I come on this web forum and there are several guys who bench more than I do, but they only weigh about 190. It just makes me feel as if I am doing something wrong

LOL spawn was my first cherry popper, i was an idiot though and didnt realize how harsh it was...i lost all my gains as well as far as mass but i kept some of my strength...my pct sucked though but now i know better

315x11 is very impressive. I've never been able to do that. I dunno man, for sure some guys can do more. But, well, I am not calling anyone out here or anything, but, you can say whatever you want on the internet... I just told a guy in another thread I bench a million. 315x11 is monstrous and puts you well within the top 1% of people on the planet.

[bjpennnn]

hahaha quo. point taken.

i just finished 15 weeks of test and deca ..my legit max was prob 315 maybe a bit more before cycle...i repped 405 2 times on wednesday : )

nice, yea whenever i move up too fast in strength something happens where i get injured and have to take it easy on that exercise..esp bench, thats why i never go heavy on BB and stick to DBs..hoping to get up to the 130's soon....on the other hand my shrugs are going up, did 605 for 3 yesterday...hoping to get to 700

["DIRTY D" SANCHEZ]

First test cycle of only 5 weeks went from maxing 215 to doing 250 5x's.

"dirty d"


p.s....... i lost most of that when i came off without pct

[darkcrayz]

315x5 to 405x1, close grip. after down to 365x1, still close grip. on a low dose havok cycle.

[turborx7s]

feel free to laugh, but was impressive to me. prob. 7 years ago, I was 21, did the whole MAG-10 cycle. when I started I weighed 131lbs., and my bench was 175 if I remember correctly. I went up to 148lbs, and my max bench went to 255 x 1.

[warchild]

135 to 265 on test/dbols in a few weeks...

People put so much into #'s, obviously how you lift will determine how strong you get, bodybuilders lift different from powerlifters, so I would assume that a change in routine might help more than the cycle. I've never really maxed out hardcore but I went from 225 X 8 on my last set to 315 X 5 on Test Prop, and Tren A at 194lbs. Id rather look like I could bench 500 and only do 300 than the other way around, but I know some people care more about the strength, to each their own.

exactly, just all depends on goals....like i dont want to get much bigger than 205-210 @ single digit bf, and i want to stay below 10% bf year round....other people might not want to do that but everyone has different goals

LMAO... How much bench bro? we won't laugh

[BBronco]

Wow these are some good bumps in numbers, my question is how much of that strength increase did yall keep post cycle with or without a pct?

[methyl]

the drugs you use dont matter to get strength up, you'll only lose on PCT if its shitty and or its water retention that you gained mostly. Tren doesnt shut you down "HARD" any anabolic shuts you down theres no degree of shutdown your either normal or shutdown.

This is true your either shut down or not, but different aas can have an effect on your recovery time to normal.
