strength proportion all right???

[weasel0803]

Hi everybody!

Just finished chest, shoulder, tri day today and it seems that I suck big time at benching!!!!!

This really freaks me out....my strength in my tricpes is increasing every workout but my fricken chest won't grow. It just seems I can't increase my bench, no matter what I do. Bench is first in my training routine, so it should be my best lift but well.

Just to give you an imagination here is my stats on the lifts :

Bench: 143lbs@3reps (3rd set)
Incline db press: 110 lbs @6 reps (3rd set)
Dips: bodyweight +22lbs @9reps (3rd set)
Very close grip bench press: 85lbs (3rd set)

My bodyweight is about 155lbs@5'9.

Just curious how your ratio of bench to e.x dips would be to finally figure out if I'm just weak as hell or got some kind of strength imbalance I really have to work on or how I can make my bench as well as chest size finally increase (and not just my shoulders all the time

Thanks and greetings

dont do close grip bench. use a medium grip. pinkies on thre ring. if your dips are going up your chest will grow. are you hitting the 110 dbs or the 55s? make sure you are using a wide grip on flat bench, index finger on the ring. you may have to drop one of the chest movements if you are not makin gains. didnt see board presses in there either. quit worrying about growth. it will come when you strength goes up. thats the premise here, to get stronger. pm me bro
