    i bench pressed 405 lbs x 3.5 times when i weighed 215lbs and was 19 yo.. you can bench 405 no problem, with out juice.. you need to forget about all that WS shit, and google "add 50lbs to bench press in 10 weeks" i did similar programs at 17 & 18 y.o. and went from 340 to 390 to 420 in ten weeks on, ten weeks off and ten weeks on... so YES, i added 80 lbs to my bench in 200 days, naturally, BEFORE I COULD EVEN BUY A BOTTLE OF BEER


    FYI.. i recommend you get off the gear for a while and get tested.. if you have been on for as long as you say you have, and still are not able to bench 400lbs, than i must assume that u have shattered your test receptors, and need to take some time off

    Yes, bench pressing 400 when weighing in at less than 200 is more than feasible. Two and a half years ago, before my injury, I pressed 345, weighing in a 188 lbs (morning, no clothes). The strength gains from the drol and tren were quite impressive.

    Well I'm about to start my second bulk since I've been cruising, and first bulk since starting a powerlifting style program.

    For the guy who commented on receptors, I've only been on for 10 month and now don't plan to come off. I'm also well under 10% body fat year round. I understand your comments totally, but don't feel this is anything to be concerned about.

    My bulk will be the following:

    Test E 1gram/wk - 12 weeks
    Tren E 600mg/wk - 8 weeks
    Drol 50mg/day - 5 weeks
    Dbol 30mg/day - 5 weeks

    I think this cycle should give me some very good increases on all my lifts considering, as I say, this is my first bulk following a powerlifting program.

If I didn't hurt my shoulder this cycle I would def be benching 405 at 198 by now. I will get it next year.
    I'm hoping this cycle at least gets me up to 160 for 1.

    I did the same cycle but with 750 of test earlier on in the year and had a dramatic impact on overall strength.

    My bench was stuck for weeks though at 120kg, and this was clearly due to not changing my training program for so long; as well as following a typical bodybuilding program.
