I have a little philosophy.

IF YOU CANT DO A WEIGHT FOR 5 REPS, THEN YOU ARENT READY FOR THAT WEIGHT. One rep maxes are fine, but i avoid them. I fear if i go for a one rep max on bench that i could blow a shoulder out or tear a pec.


Warmup: 135x15 or 20, 185 (if you want/need to) x 10, 225 x 10, then 275 etc.

I started on the 215lb pyramid exactly 2 years ago, I just found using this method helped my strength a lot. I have tried other ways and not much effect, I must have good joints (in my body) because I haventbeen hurt yet. I use proper form when lifting. I have a lot of other people doing this same pyramid andthey too are making gains. It seems my strength and endurance and size all gain on thisworkout. Thanks for the tips!

Never tried the nebraska pyramid, but it looks pretty good. This isnt a lot of volume, so i think your numbers are perfectly fine. I might tweak the numbers a little bit to reach your fullest potential, but the numbers are SOLID.

I see you used the 2.5lb plates too, ERRRRR, lol. I refuse to use those darn plates. This would have been the numbers i would have done if i were you:

275lbs x 8
315lbs x 6
335 or 345lbsx 4
365 or 385lbs x 3
405lbs x 2
425lbs x 1
315lbs x as many as possible.

Great job still.

No 2.5's? hahahah FUCKING HARDCORE brother!! The small jumps seem to help me alot. A 10lb jump in strength would be major for me when going for reps.
