Hey bro,

I have kinda of plateaud with my training.

My Bench is stuck at a 145 max and I weigh 210 @ 9% body fat, I have been training for a solid 5 yrs now and no matter what I do I just can't push up more weight.

Please help, I am in dire need. Not even the training professional at my gym can do anything with me.

WELL I PERSONALY THINK YOU SHOULD SIGN UP FOR ONE OF THE GURU'S PERSONAL TRAINING SESSIONS... EXPENSIVE I KNOW BUT I THINK HE COULD REALLY TEACH YOU SOMETHING....HAHAHA

YOU BETTER BOOK IN ADVANCE I HEARD HE IS REAL BUSY...

[Dogsoldier]

Since I'm th old duffer here....I must ask the Guru....

What do I do when I have fallen and can't get up?

I wish I had a personal guru

[Beelzebub]

i don't know about this. the guy seems pretty genuine and appears to have a basic understanding about things. 'guru' though? that's a little on the cocky side.

Well the first question I would ask is "what exercises are you doing for chest?" or "What is your rep / set status?"

Once we know where you're at, we can help you to where you wanna go!

Much Love,

This is not your thread...its guru's.

But I will answer your question...

My regular chest routine goes like this:

10 sets of Bench around 6 reps w/ about 20 seconds rest.

Then two sets of pushups usually around 5-6 reps.

If Neoborn and James55555 both have threads like this, Cerebus will be unleashed from the gates of Hades and devour the moon.

Then two sets of pushups usually around 5-6 reps.

I would recommend a 4 week cycle consisting of:

Week 1: 5 - 7 sets = 2 warm up then working sets. Week 1 is high rep. Choose a weight that you can move with good form for 15 - 20 reps. 20 second / 15 breath. Tempo: 1-1-2 tempo

The idea is to break your routine, confuse your muscles and pump up them bi's

Week 2: 5 - 7 Sets = 2 warm up rest working sets. Week 2 Is going to be Medium - High rep - Aim to move a weight that you can for 8 - 12 reps. Same breathing. Tempo: 2-0-2 tempo constant flow no stopping at top or bottom.

Week 3: 5 - 7 Sets = 2 warm up sets rest working. Week 3 is Low n Slow. 6-8 reps - Aim to move a weight that you can with long Time Under Tension. Same Breathing. Tempo 4-3-4. No locking your joints.

Week 4: Week Off from all training.

Basically with your no growth your body is not being stimulated in any way and has gotten used to what you are doing. You could also try this on a per workout basis to constantly throw it off balance. Negatives, high reps, Super slow reps etc will all help you stimulate the slow n fast twitch fibers.

It is imperative that in all working sets you go to failure, get a partner, ask someone in the gym to spot you and go to complete failure!

Try it and see.....who knows maybe you will grow.

If you do what you have always done, you will always get what you have gotten!

Much Love,

Neoborn

I am not the New guru as I'm kind of a beginner plus I'm fat. But doesn't stop me from passing along some good information or perhaps something that may help someone

I hope James has not left us in the matrix here all by ourselves, I will be hitting the bong much harder if this is true to cope with teh new state of my virtual reality.
