I need bench advice guys. I can do 1.5 pl8s for over 10 reps but I just can't seem to get 225 x 1.
When you guys started pushing 225 did you jump from 1.5 plates or so... or just micro-load until u hit 225?
Thoughts?
Don't try to go for huge jumps in weight like that, there's a big difference between 1.5 plates (I guess like 185 or something) and 225 lbs. Don't bother with 10 reps of your current weight, if you want to get stronger do something like 3x5 with a weight you can handle and steadily progress from there.
>can get 190 for 2 before failing
>can get 205 for 2

You're a legend. Ok I'll try this bro, i'll microload till I get there
Within 1 month of lifting I was pushing 225. Just genetics bro

Microloading means like 2.5 lb increments or less. Not "anything less than 40 lbs".
If you can actually bench 185x10, then you can bench 225x1. You're just being retarded.

Huh?
I'm saying i'll add microloads to 185 until I can hit 225 (increments of 2.5lb)
