BRo how did you manage to bench 400 in high school. Any special routines you were on?

Wow....don't I feel honored....I busted my ass plain and simple....I was in the weight room everyday after school, and twice a day during football season...I had a great strength coach, who had a huge impact on both my power and stamina....I was a lineman freshman through junior year, senior year I switched to outside linebacker....developed more footspeed etc.... as far as the bench press goes.....it is mostly genetics...while mine is up there....I have seen many people my size who are a lot stronger, deads, and squat, I firmly believe are more impacted by training, then bench, all I can say is bust your ass....do lockouts, negatives, and a lot of 2-3 rep sets.....that is if your ultimate goal is strength, I am over that phase of things.....I may max out once every six months now.....I tend to not let my reps fall below 6-8 anymore....my bench routine now ( or when I get back in the gym when this lat heals
) is as follows....185 for 20, 225 for 15 (warmup) 315 for 10-12, 365 for 10, 405 for 7-10, and maybe 455 for 6 (depending on how my shoulder feels) I doubt this helps you, but that's the jist of it.......

Or this approach might work as well......for added intensity, light the rag on fire...and have chariots of fire playing in the background.....

pitbull you're an animal. I could never recover from so many days in gym. Right now I am doing one workset, with about 3 basic exercises a day... so 3 sets a day .... 4 days a week. Wish I could train like you and recover
