Re: Bench press woes
[ QUOTE ]
to get to your 225 goal u prob have to do a few things.
1. work out your triceps harder and heavier on arm day or whatever day u do them
2. always bench with good form (hit ur chest)and do 4 sets atleast
3. every other week do some close grip or wide grip bench presses
4. and step up ur back and legs workout (this will help a little too)

Dear God. Stop already. A plateauing beginner doesn't need to add tricep isolation work. The last thing a beginner needs is to complicate his routine with crap like that. When you plateau, especially a beginner, you're usually much better off further simplifying than your are complicating your routine. Just start training your body as a whole and it will grow as a whole. Work on making your whole body strong, not your chest. It's really difficult to get strong without training your central nervous system, which is done with big compound exercises like the squat and deadlift. You'll also be amazed how much your arms grow w/o any arm-specific work at all.
