Question for heavy benchers.
What do your warm-up sets look like? I'm starting to get into heavier bench (current max is 255) and I'm wondering if doing too many build-up sets is hurting my chances at benching heavier. For a while it was 135 - 185 - 225 - 235 - 245, but now it kinda fucks up my 3 heavy set main workout routine. I still want to keep 225 in there as a staple but should I skip it and just go 135 - 185 - 235 (or 245, 255, etc once I start going higher)?

Reps don't have much to do with my question. 135 for 10-15 slow, 185 for 10, 225 for 8-10, 235 for 6-7, 245 for 4-5, 255 for 2-3, then a burnout set of 135.
Me too! But I don't bench the bar at all lol
Just stretches.
Post pics dudes you must be fucking huge

>Reps don't have much to do with my question
They have everything to do with it you dumbass.
For example
225x10 is way to much for a fucking warm up. Thats retarded and basically a working set.
3 minutes
30 seconds between lifts I'm doing pyramids.
Seriously what do you people look like
In what I posted, 225 was a working set.
I am bearbro.
People get mad at me when I post that. Lol
Most likely liars.
Ok well stop doing that meme pull shit. Just do an actual bench routine. Either to TM version or if youre bulking do smolov. Pyramid sets are a stupid meme.
>1/1 with trample
Does this even exist?
My max is 300. When I'm working up to max out I'll do the bar 8 times, 135 4 times slow/pause/stretch 4 times pushing up fast. 185 3 times, 225 twice then single 270. Then max. Rest about 15 seconds between each weight from bar to 225. Then about a minute each, then 2-3 minutes for my max.
Working weight now is 250. Same routine except I'll do 1 pause rep at 225 then working sets.
45 x 8 a few times
135 x 5 (sometimes two sets if needed)
225 x 3
265 x 2
295 x 1
315 x5
Go heavy right off the bat
Test that shit & let your body adjust.
For those of you who wanted to know what I look like.l

Noob here.
Anyone know why i get a tingling in my elbows/forearms when benching.
Bench with feets elevated.
Your left arm?
Since this thread is about benching..
I can bench 60(1pl8) kg for 5 reps and 4 sets, plus warm-up. But in OHP arms fricking die on second set an I'm only lifting 20-25 kg. How do I fix this? Just keep doing OHP or are there any extra exercises I can do to help my OHP?
