Bench press chart?

[zx1216]

Hey, i'm new here at the board and am starting to get back into lifting. I lifted for 4 years in highschool and quit at the start of my sr year. I am a freshman in college now and i want to get strong again. At my high school we had charts telling us what reps to do based on our maxes. I have been lifting for 3 weeks or so and would like to find a chart of schedual for the bench. For aditional info. i used to max out around 235-240 in high school and now i'd be lucky if i can do 200. I have lost about 20 lbs since then though(195-175) Thanks for any help in advance.
Thanks,
nick

depends on how in depth of a program you want. You are prob not going to be able to find a chart, but if you go over to the training board i think there is a sticky on the westside program, and others.

Most folks on here don't think they are very accurate, but you can decide if it'll help you out.

That calculator is right on the money for me, but not a lot of people I guess. It's within 2 pounds for me...lol

I think he's looking for a linear periodization chart to work up to a goal max weight.

I would read the Westside sticky, as well as this:

Conjugated Periodization

I actually figured linear regression for me several years ago. I've totally forgotten how to do real math, though.

I once sat down and figured out what I would've gained using linear periodization, or "a chart," in my first year, vs conjugated periodization, and it was 300 pounds less.
