benching competition

[dtsgt]

I am getting ready for another bench competition and I do mine raw because I don't like benching shirts and I was wondering what I could do to sky rocket my bench a bit.

You mean other than AAS? Try the 5x5 for a while. Takes a while to build the weight up, but it really works, IMO.

A good periodization program, and train your weakpoints. Look into metal militia. They're some of the world's strongest bench pressers.

I 2nd that metalmilitia.net they are the strongest benchers around.

Metal Militia train primarily for shirted lifts though. So that might not be your best bet. If I were going to do a raw comp, I'd probably stick w/ a WSB hybrid, focusing on getting the bar off my chest.

i am working with a guy for my first amature meet, and he has me on a gig like this for bench...

3 light sets of 10 for warm up and stretch..generally like 135 slow and a bit wider then my grip will be on the meet..then we do a set of 3, then 2, then, 1 then 1 again, then 3 and then 2 and then 1 again...and we are going up 10 pouds a week..hopefully...so far so good...with the correct pauses and ass on the bech...i dont use mucjh of an arch with me back..and i use a closer grip to work my tris in better...
