Starting a new bench routine w/ a new supplement

[NorgePrecision]

I know most of you will roll your eyes when I say this, but I'm going to start doing that chest routine from Muscle & Fitness magazine starting tomorrow. The workouts I do now don't involve any negatives, so I'm going to give it a shot. I also ordered a batch of v12 turbo to speed up the process a little bit. I hope to gain about 25-30 lbs. in my bench in 8 weeks. Wish me luck. Right now I'm at about 225 and hoping for 250+. I've taken creatine monohydrate in the past, and it did help me out greatly. Should I drink just as much water on v12 as I did on monohydrate? I heard v12 will not cause bloating, so I'm not sure of the fluid intake on it. Monohydrate blew me up in the face and stomach quite a lot.

The workout:

First day: Monday

3x6 barbell bench w/ warmup
3x6 incline dumbell
3x6 dips w/ belt

Second day: Thursday

3x6 dumbell bench
3x6 incline dumbell...

I don't remember Thursday but the routine goes like that next week, then on the 3rd week I start doing negatives pretty hardcore, 4th week skip negatives and go back to normal, then negatives again on the 5th week. The last 3 weeks go back to normal again I believe but I will be using a higher weight. Today I used 175 for my reps of bench and I hope to be raising that to 205 by the 7th and 8th week with the help of v12.

BTW, I need some concrete details about v12. I've been looking all over the place. Do I need to consume the same amount of water on v12 as I did on monohydrate? I heard it doesn't make you bloated, so this is why I ask.

I think I was overworking my muscles before I started this program. Today I felt like doing some fly's and cable crossovers but I neglected it because it wasn't in the routine.

v12 is good stuff. i put 40lbs on my max bench in 4 weeks. i didnt notice any bloating, but then I drink about 30 glasses of water a day. if i were you id drink as much water as you could.

How long had you been lifting when you took v12?

is your diet solid?
if the diet is off, you wont get as much out of the supps

I dont mean to sound negative but that routine may only work if your a beginner..a beginner can pretty much do anything and his lifts will increase..

Benching is not about using your pecs..now before all te bodybuilders jump on me hes looking to add lbs to his bench not increase his pec size..theres nothing wrong with bb'ing but if you wanna increase your lifts youll need to do things differently than a bb'er..try the routine see how it is..if you want some info about benching i would check out this site

ON AND OFF OVER 3 YEARS. WHEN I STOPED TAKING THE V 12 I NOTICED I LOST ABIT OF STRENGTH. IF YOU WANT TO ADD TO YOUR MAX BENCH THAN I WOULD SUGGEST STRENTH TRAINING. I DID THIS AND IN A LITTLE OVER A MONTHS I ADDED MORE WEIGHT TO MY BENCH WITHOUT CREATINE THAN I DID WITH THE V12. WITH THE V12 I WAS GETTING 235 FOR 8 REPS. NOW IM GETTING 275 FOR 7 REPS WITHOUT A SPOT. THIS IS WITHIN 6 WEEKS OF BEING OFF THE V12. THE FIRST 2 WEEKS AFTER TAKING IT I WAS REALLY WEEK AND MY JOINTS WERE HURTING BUT THEN MY STRENGHT WENT THRU THE ROOF.

THIS IS WHAT I RECOMEND YOU DO TO STRENGTHEN YOUR CHEST. FIND A WEIGHT THAT YOU CAN GET 6 GOOD REPS WITHOUT A SPOT. DO THIS WEIGHT ON YOUR LAST 1-2 WORKING SETS. ONCE YOU GET TO 6 REPS AND YOU CANT DO ANY MORE ON YOUR OWN DO A COUPLE OF FORCED REPS. DO THIS FOR EACH EXCERCISE YOU DO FOR CHEST. NEXT TIME YOU TRAIN YOUR CHEST YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET 7 REPS WITH THE SAME WEIGHT AND THEN GET SOME FORCED REPS. DO THIS UNTIL YOU GET TO 9 REPS WITH THAT WEIGHT WITHOUT A SPOT. WHEN YOU CAN DO 9 REPS WITH THAT WEIGHT ADD MORE WEIGHT UNTIL YOU CAN ONLY DO 6 REPS AGAIN AND THEN REPEAT THE ROUTINE.

SO IF WEEK ONE YOU CAN BENCH 225 FOR 6 REPS, WEEK 2 YOU SHOULD BE BENCHING 225 FOR 7 REPS, WEEK 3- 8 REPS, WEEK 4-9 REPS. AND THEN WEEK 5 GO BACK TO 6 REPS WITH A HEAVIER WEIGHT.

DONT FORGET THAT YOU HAVE TO DO FORCED REPS IF YOU WANT TO ADD LOTS OF WEIGHT TO YOUR BENCH. I TRAIN ALL MY BODYPARTS THIS WAY. I TRAIN IN A 4 DAY SPLIT, 3 ON 1 OFF. I TAIN MY WHOLE BODY IN 3 DAYS I I TRY TO INCREASE MY REP RANGE EACH TIME. THIS HAS REALLY WORKED FOR ME. HOPE IT CAN HELP YOU!
