hey guys, i have never really tried to go super heavy on bench press because im a bodybuilder and always train in the 8-12 rep range.... over the last 6 weeks i have been doing a heavy set as my last set on bench press........each week i would add 15-25lbs. My body has felt pretty good over the last 6 weeks going heavy.... so this week i tried 5 plates for 1 and i surprised myself.... i ended up cranking out 3 reps.

I don't want to diminish the incredible accomplishment here, but the drop set idea reminded me of this:

Both videos were great. You should certainly look into some sort of PL meets.

i have thought about it, problem is i have a terrible squat because my hips are really tight. if i worked at deadlift though i no i could get really strong. thanks for the props!

when i got in to bodybuilding when i was 14 i was always a big fan of kevin levrone training video's because he was a great bodybuilder and a strong one to! this scene from battle olympia always had me day dreaming about bench pressing 5 plates on chest day.

Eric Spoto is finally going to compete for the first time this November at the SuperTraining meet. He's got a great shot at breaking the all time raw bench record of 715 lbs.
