I know... I can almost curl a 50 lb dumbbell but can only bench about 175... @ 150 lbs body weight

its jsut a lot harder for me to bench than to do arms.... like a lot.. its hard on my joints and wrists.


I hear you on the wrist situation.
I'd have to see your form to gives pointers.
Do you currently BB (barbell) bench or DB (dumbbell) bench?
I usually DB bench because I feel a much greater chest contraction and stretch.
You also have a greater range of motion which should be easier on your shoulders and wrist.
Wear wrist wraps if you have to!
I have broken both of my wrist so when I reach a certain weight I throw some wrist wraps on.
Also don't do any of the 5x5 programs until you have a decent chest built up. Stick with the 8-12 rep range with slower and controlled form.

I have to use straps for deadlifting as well.
I'm fine for about 8-10 reps @ 225
But when I go from 275 or up to my max @ 405 I have to wear straps.

I fucking love dumbell press but I don't have big enough dumbells to get as much as a rip as on the bench barbell

I was thinking about making my own huge dumbells for press but they will only be like 50 lbs....

Will dumbell press of 100-120 lbs get me a bigger chest rather than benching 170 :/


Oooh ya Im trying Too hit too much weight... I only do like 3-5 reps at my max 170... Trying to push too hard cuz I feel like a bitch only able to bench 170

Yeah DB press is great :lol:
I don't BB bench much but it's good to change things up every once in a while.
I usually do burnout sets on the BB bench. I throw like 8 x 10's on each side then do as many reps as I can - Immediately take 10 lbs off each side and do the same thing until I get to the bar. That's after I do my DB bench sets.
Talk about a chest pump! Arnold pecs after that, mate! B)

You may have to get a gym membership if you wan't to keep it up. That or purchase new DB's every time the current weight gets easy.

Yeah you won't build much muscle benching less than 5 reps. Stick to 8-12 for muscle and 5 reps for strength.

E: It's all relative to the person. Don't be concerned too much about the weight. Just stick to a certain rep range and keep the form correct. Everybody starts somewhere!
You will work your way up.

I'm lazy about adding and removing weights... I know I'm not working out properly but fuck... Putting the weights on the bar and taking them off takes almost as long as the workout you have on that piece of equiptment... That's what sucks about going to the gym

I just have my bench full of all my weight. and my dumbells. I usually only take off weights or move weights to the leg thing on my bench a few times when I work out.

Do max bench then remove 20 lbs and go until I can't anymore... I don't often go as far as taking off another 20.

I dunno why but I feel like its a waste of time to keep lifting a lower weight.. I know it helps but I just don't do it..... I'd rather just go relax for 15-20 mins and then come back and do 20lbs less than my max again

. You can tell I'm not serious enough/as serious as you about getting swole.

In the past month I've probably only spent like 20 mins working out...
