Arch your back as much as they will allow and squeeze your butt cheeks together to raise your butt up while still touching the bench. If I were You I would consider some igf 1 or hgh too.

Too get the 225 test you need to have alot of endurance and explosive power. Jumping rope will take care of the cardio aspect. Train bench. Dips dont have any real carry over to your bench press, ask any powerlifter. Band training will help too.

I was able to get alot more reps in during my high rep training when taking anadrol, although i dont use any orals anymore. Tren killed it for me. Not sure if you are taking anything tho..

hmhhhhhhmmmmmm......

must have been red-shirted..

[hauss man]

must have been red-shirted..

or injured

Try this, its a bit long n drawn out but if you get your teeth in to it you will soon get to your max.

Half your 1RM

Bench once a week

10 sets of 3 reps

Hands shoulder width apart

Nice and slow and controlled with a 2 second pause on the chest (just below your nipples).....

Oh yeah almost forgot, add 2.5 - 5 kg each week.

See how far you can go. my guess is you wont go much past 8 - 10 weeks of lifting before you reach your sticking point... but by then your 1RM will be much greater than it was 10 weeks prior.

Im 3 weeks in to it and yeah... its gonna get hard the next 3 weeks or so.

Are you kidding me? This guy is trying to start his career in the NFL and you are advising him to start it out by cheating?

Do not take anything banned, work ur ass off at this thing, leave it all out on the field, and put ur head to bed at night knowing you haven't disgraced those who came before you....

I didnt say they didnt do jack. I said they dont have much bench press carry-over. great for pec development tho. simmons would agree.
