bench cycle

[longerlasting]

any experienced lifters got a good 6-8 week cycle, got a 430 bench, even though I can do eight good solid reps with 365 (which should put me at 440-450 easily). I always have hand (gripping) problems past 405 (which I usually hit for three and four good reps). Also have a bad problem on the negative portion of my first rep only. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

i would recommend some tricep work like lockouts, pin presses or board presses. i would do board presses since your having trouble with the negative portion. i can send you a cycle that scott cartwright sent to me. is that 430 bench RAW or shirted? email me at [email protected]. tb
