In quest of a big bench

[katdaddy]

I'm gettin' ready to start my 1st cycle which is dbol, deca & sust.
Currently I'm getting back into shape, my best bench was 350x8 without a spot & right now I'm doing 345 for 5 reps which is about a 390max.
The bench press routine I'm using is FANTASIC I got back to a respectable bench in 2 months after a 2year layoff!

With this cycle I hoping to bench 440, is anyone out there pushing about the same weight? If so I would like to know how long it took you to get to 500lbs...

Looking to hear from the older guys too, I'm 6' 233lbs 32years old & don't recuperate like I used to

MONDAYS REMAIN THE SAME
THURS ASSISTANCE REMAINS THE SAME
wk2: thurs 135x8 205x4 275x1 310x4 1set
wk3: thurs 135x8 205x4 265x1 320x4

wk8: thurs 135x8 205x4 315x1 370x1 & light assistance work

week9 MAX OUT @ 390
after you max take a week off from benching to recover & do this routine @ most twice a year. (and never back to back)
*this is assuming you currently have a 340bench

adjust the numbers according to your current max


GOOD LUCK
