flat bench pre around 340 post cycle around 450

these gains are almost as nice as the booty in your avi.

pre (win) usally topped off at 295@failure (3w/sloppy form)---during/post easily doing between 315@5-345@1.

havent attempted bench since jan, as i focus on dumbbells to.

410x5 pre. 415x5 one week in test prop and win at about 260. I'm also eating roughly an 800 cal per day deficit

Before I got out of heavy power lifting, my bench went from 460 to 565 in about 2 yrs at 308. These were raw and judged w a pause and rack command, n o sloppy touch and go gym lifts. I was also using gear from 21-23 ( I know, flame me). I then decided to see how much beet I could drink instead of working out and got real fat and have cut from 320+ in Sep to lightest of 255 as of now and this is my first cycle in 3 yrs.

I think you mean BEER!! not beet however I hope you have decided to give it away! I do not give a shit how many dangers the world imagines are real. The danger from alcohol abuse is death, and it is slow and painful! My bench increased round 30kgs also. Good luck

[cebby1985]

Yes john, I haven't had a drink since January and maybe 2-3 times before that since I changed my life back to healthy in Sept!

Ya know, I've been blessed w a great bench, but sometimes instead of "how much do you bench" I'd like to hear " how much do you deadlift it squat?". Dang gone booby builders

Very impressive pound for pound strength for a natural guy! 325 lb. max at 175 lbs.? I'm guessing you must be 5'9" or shorter...

[testfeind123]

I just did 600mg of test for 12 wks with a Superdrol kickstart

[jpowell]

my first cycle was winstrol 50 mg daily at 8 weeks. retained alot of my gains wich from wat i hear is hard to do.

[mwilkinson]

265 x 3 pre cycle - 325 x 1 two weeks post last pin (got that shit on youtube). now around 285 x 1 off cycle for 5 months

275x5 for pre cycle. Near end of cycle I hit 375 at the end of my pyramid workout. Post cycle I couldn't bench because I had a slight tear in my left pectoral right where it meets the shoulder. I was really ****in sad and lost a lot of strength(8 weeks later I'm not starting to bench again, 135's is it though)

I don't mean to hijack this thread but does anyone have experience with pec strains/tears and why they happen?
I'll try to give you as much pertinent info about my workout:
I did a pretty average warmup(pec stretch, some circles while holding a 5 pound weight for shoulders).
Mondays were either decline or flat DB bench. I'd do a pyramid for 6 sets or just straight sets for 10-8x4. Some incline DB movement, flys. My work sets were always been 10-12.
Towards the end of my cycle(last 3 weeks) I started benching also on Fridays as a rep out day. I'd do either flat bench 275 rep outs for 3 sets or I would do decline 315x3 for 8-10 reps. I'm guessing this was my downfall, volume too high? I also bench with a pretty wide grip which I heard puts a lot of stress on the pec near the shoulder-where the tear happend.
