If my 5rm goes up 5lbs the next strength day ill continue with that until I plateaut. Once I platue, on my next strength day I drop the weight by 25/30lbs and try to do a 5x5 of that. If I can do 80% of the 5x5 ill try for a new 5rm. If i cant then ill drop back down 25/30lbs and will stick with that 5x5 until I hit 100%. Once I hit 100% I deload Depending on how fatigued i am and when I return my 5rm usually has increased by 10lbs. But also note i am a returning lifter so my progress will be faster than someone who has never lifted those weights before
Usually i start with 3x3. Once im comfortable with it, ill try to advance to 3x4. After this 3x5. Once i can do 5 sets of 3. Ill increase reps. 4x5. After like 3-4 weeks ill do 5x5. After 3 weeks of ill increase the weight and start again 3x3.
I start at 3x3, then go for 4 sets of 3, 5 sets of 3, 3 sets of 4, 4x4, 5 sets of 4, 3 sets of 5, 4 sets of 5 and then finally 5x5. I use this for pull-ups and dips. Every week i make it harder.
@@joesuarez8578 I haven't been doing it for long time so i haven't hit a plateau yet. I worked out today and did better than last week. Possibly there will be a time where i'll need deload to keep progressing. I never heard of that program you mentioned. Have you done a deload week already?

my powerlifter friend got me into the gym and i’ve just been listening to him he got me from 135 to 295 in 4 months he said it took him almost a year to get 315 and he benches 475
@@Boltthe410 he divides his training so that for x amount of weeks he emphasizes strength and x amount of weeks he emphasizes size. he goes based off rpe so during the strength phase i do heavy sets of 1-5 reps for 2-5 sets; week 1 5x5 week 2 4x4 until week 5; 1x2 and then for size he assigns me 3 sets of 8; 10; 12;15 x 5;4;3;3 with last set going to failure (he says never go to failure during strength training most important rule)
he’ll tell me to lower the weight for example if i did a 5x5 set where the last rep on the first set was rpe 8 or above since it was too close to failure; he’ll be less cautious of this during volume training and tells me to up the weight if rep 8 didn’t take me near failure (rpe 9+) on week 1
Thats hypertrophy training wich is for volume and building alot of muscle. This training on the other hand doesnt build as much muscle but focuses on strenght
Warmups(maybe 1-3 sets at 50% working weight 5 reps per set) with one set to failure in whatever rep range you want, preferably single digits (1-9) Do it as often as needed , if you’re not getting stronger you’re probably doing too much, I’m doing it once a week and have been setting new PRs every week for months, never seen strength gains like this in my life I used to do 30 sets of bench per week that hurt my gains, 15 sets per week hurt my gains, so I dialed back to one set per week ( with warmups ) and been setting new PRs every week for a long time making those noob gains again, don’t believe me ? Try it for yourself , you will only get stronger
You’re probably stronger than your max weight. I suggest that you work on speed benching with some bands for a month or two along with your bench press program. I know you will see the results. When I competed I had a nys record for my division 165 raw class of 341.7 pounds. Non competitive just training I managed to get 355 right before my accident

@@henocklaterre649your warmups should be at least a few with the bar then add a light warmup weight and do at least 6-8 but make sure you arent tiring yourself out but also get the blood flowing in your muscles, then at the heavier warmup weight i personally just do 1 or 2
@@henocklaterre649I know static holds way above your max def helps, gets you used to heavier weight. But idk right after a warm up set, I would do it later on
@@big4headman972it’s called Mash method, helps make heavy weight feel lighter. Though 30 seconds is way too much, do around 10-15 or even 5 seconds if it feels like it’s going to hurt performance because it’s too heavy, find a nice in between of priming yourself for a heavy weight, to make your working set weight feel like and not fatiguing yourself
I do something similar I do 5 @80% and 5 again maybe ten pounds heavier but I do three reps then three again then just 2 and every week I try to make that last set increasing reps and I do that for six weeks and then I max out and restart from there
Mine is very basic I want to actually build my chest and surprise my muscles though so I will try this. I usually do 10 reps of a working weight, then go up 10 pounds, try to get another 10, then go up 20 pounds and get as many as a can. 3 total sets not counting a warm up
Don’t do this.Do barbell bench press variations 3x a week. Make sure you have a rest day in between at least. Day 1- Do 5x5 of 75% of 1RM competition bench Day 2- Spoto press with slightly wider grip than competition bench. This will increase stretch on pec, and work on improving your mid point, which most people get stuck on. Do this for 4x6 of 73% of your 1RM on Spoto press, which is about 7-10% weaker than your competition bench. Day 3- you can do touch and go bench press, or close grip bench press if your lockout is your weakness. I suggest touch and go for 3x5 of 75% of your Touch and go 1RM, which should be 5-10% stronger than your competition bench. Afterwards, go back to doing an AMRAP set with your 75% of competition bench with competition bench style. If you can do more than 10 reps, add 5 lbs to your competition bench max. Progression: Do this arrange for 4 weeks. From week 1-3, you will increase your percentage by 2.5%. For example- week 1: 75%, week 2: 77.5%, and week 3: 80%. The reps will stay the same. For week 4, you will need to give your body some rest, so stay at that same percentage as week 3, but reduce all of your working sets for bench by half. Then you can recycle the same program over and over again. Make sure to stay at slight caloric surplus, get enough sleep, and be smart about how you train. Take deloads, or do strength blocks for other body parts like shoulders via shoulder press if you feel like benching too much for too long is hurting your joints. Goodluck!
Bro i am 14 and got to 220 without any program just by doing 3x3 5x5 3x3 negatives skull crushers dips with weight. I do that on different workouts. And that gave me 25 pounds to my bench evr month now i am progressing slow but still.
This is not a full program. This is one exercise for one day. A program consists of the basic compound lift & then several technical variations of the lift over a course of weeks👌🏾
@@jusCash I’m saying he literally did ONE exercise & called it a program😭 A program consists of MULTIPLE workouts over a course of typically 4-6 weeks.
You dont want to go back down in weight prior to ORM. Generally speaking it’s not optimal. What works for him doesn’t mean it’s ideal for the majority.
Failure or 5 reps I guess. If you don’t 1RM often and you get 5 reps on the last set after doing it (ex. Week 1: 135lbs for 3, then week 2: 135lbs for 4, etc) then when you get 5 reps you can just up the 1RM weight the percentages are based off of for 3 reps again on your last set.
That's called western periodization and when prepping for a meet that cause detaining. The best method is the conjugate method created by Louie Simmons at westside barbell - the one gym that has more powerlifting world records than any gym in the entire world.
Smolov Jr way better, going down with a weights has no sense in strength training, unless you change your grip and going up to previous weight in pyramid way with different grip
first of all, train 2-3x/week. Use weight that you can do Max 7-8 reps with and do 5x5 with it. And then always increase reps by one, and dont always use The same weight. For example If I could do 6 reps with 67.5kg, and 4 reps with 70kg, one workout If try to hit 70kg for 5, and next Time I would try to hits 67.5kg for 7. Just try to do something better than last workout. Also do dips, explosive push-ups, dumbbell bench press, skullcrushers, incline bench press, floor press and close grip bench. Also, eat a lot, eat enough protein (1g/lb of Bodyweight or 2.2g/kg of bodyweight) drink enough water and sleep 8-10 hours a night. Get stronger in all variations of bench presses and accessory lifts. Also get sensei and big Back. Do row and pull-ups or Even pulldowns to really get big lats and upper Back (This makes your Back good surface for bench press) Hopea This helps!

You made your video idiot proof lol. if you guys are wondering. 100% would be he's 1rep max. Warm ups then 5x5, with a heavy all out drop set on the last one. That's all you need
Personally I train for strength on bench no more than 6 reps and my chest, front delt, and tricep size has increased noticably, especially my chest. I'm sure you could achieve better results for size if you trained for hypertrophy though. Personally it's not my goal but regardless I've seen a pretty noticeable change in those muscles

I personally do 5x5 of 85% of 1RPM
Does this work on ohp ?
Kind a cool routine. A lot of volume for building strength tho
How much do you start with on warm ups based on your 1 rep max? And how many reps
He is warming up with 50 and 65%
@@David-pw9tc how many reps?
@@henocklaterre649your warmups should be at least a few with the bar then add a light warmup weight and do at least 6-8 but make sure you arent tiring yourself out but also get the blood flowing in your muscles, then at the heavier warmup weight i personally just do 1 or 2
Always build up to 40% of your max as a warm up. I bang out 20 reps in a light weight to get the blood in there then build up to 40%
Do warn up with empty bar after warn up try to hold 120% for 30 sec or 1 minute
Really?
@@henocklaterre649I know static holds way above your max def helps, gets you used to heavier weight. But idk right after a warm up set, I would do it later on
120% for a minute sounds ridiculous. I’d say 15 seconds is more logical
@@big4headman972it’s called Mash method, helps make heavy weight feel lighter. Though 30 seconds is way too much, do around 10-15 or even 5 seconds if it feels like it’s going to hurt performance because it’s too heavy, find a nice in between of priming yourself for a heavy weight, to make your working set weight feel like and not fatiguing yourself
@@ohareair552I personally do 160% for 30-45 second and it really helps
Deep stuff
Do we repeat it after one whole cycle up to set 5 until failure or one cycle is enough
Damn, bro's gotta take some breaks. He did all his sets in under a minute. That's crazy!
I’ve just recently started doing this and was wondering when I should add more weight so I can progress?
I do something similar I do 5 @80% and 5 again maybe ten pounds heavier but I do three reps then three again then just 2 and every week I try to make that last set increasing reps and I do that for six weeks and then I max out and restart from there
Mine is very basic I want to actually build my chest and surprise my muscles though so I will try this. I usually do 10 reps of a working weight, then go up 10 pounds, try to get another 10, then go up 20 pounds and get as many as a can. 3 total sets not counting a warm up
For how long and often per week should you do this?
how many times a week i got to do this for max increase in progress?
Since it's strength training go for 2-3 times. But be sure you can keep up with that, otherwise do it just for 1-2 days.
Don’t do this.Do barbell bench press variations 3x a week. Make sure you have a rest day in between at least.
Day 1- Do 5x5 of 75% of 1RM competition bench
Day 2- Spoto press with slightly wider grip than competition bench. This will increase stretch on pec, and work on improving your mid point, which most people get stuck on. Do this for 4x6 of 73% of your 1RM on Spoto press, which is about 7-10% weaker than your competition bench.
Day 3- you can do touch and go bench press, or close grip bench press if your lockout is your weakness. I suggest touch and go for 3x5 of 75% of your Touch and go 1RM, which should be 5-10% stronger than your competition bench. Afterwards, go back to doing an AMRAP set with your 75% of competition bench with competition bench style. If you can do more than 10 reps, add 5 lbs to your competition bench max.
Progression: Do this arrange for 4 weeks. From week 1-3, you will increase your percentage by 2.5%. For example- week 1: 75%, week 2: 77.5%, and week 3: 80%. The reps will stay the same. For week 4, you will need to give your body some rest, so stay at that same percentage as week 3, but reduce all of your working sets for bench by half. Then you can recycle the same program over and over again.
Make sure to stay at slight caloric surplus, get enough sleep, and be smart about how you train. Take deloads, or do strength blocks for other body parts like shoulders via shoulder press if you feel like benching too much for too long is hurting your joints. Goodluck!
What happens if i did all sets?
Watch that left wrist bro
Does this program increase you’re 1 rep max?
I never really warm up while doing bench press
would this pyramid also work for squat and deadlift?
How long to do this before I try my Max again ?
Has anybody tried this for a while yet? Have you seen any major progress
How would I apply this to squat and deadlift?
How long to rest for between sets
Warm up- as little reps as possible highest weight you can while in pain
Set one (1 rep max)
Set two (30 rep max)
Those flates look fuzzy
Bro i am 14 and got to 220 without any program just by doing 3x3 5x5 3x3 negatives skull crushers dips with weight. I do that on different workouts. And that gave me 25 pounds to my bench evr month now i am progressing slow but still.
you probably carry lot of weight
My programs consists of ….genetics .
How many times in week should do bench
2-3 times to get stronger with 1-2 days of rest in between bench sessions it Got me to 315 in about 7months at 38yrs old.
Song?
This is not a full program. This is one exercise for one day. A program consists of the basic compound lift & then several technical variations of the lift over a course of weeks👌🏾
Are you saying this won’t benefit anyone in strength if they used this sets-scheme for a while?
@@jusCash I’m saying he literally did ONE exercise & called it a program😭 A program consists of MULTIPLE workouts over a course of typically 4-6 weeks.
You dont want to go back down in weight prior to ORM. Generally speaking it’s not optimal. What works for him doesn’t mean it’s ideal for the majority.
I do all of this and then rep 235 for 7 and I’m done.
How often to do this routine?
One day
Is this Nsuns?
Does it work for squat
Any logic behind the last set?
Failure or 5 reps I guess. If you don’t 1RM often and you get 5 reps on the last set after doing it (ex. Week 1: 135lbs for 3, then week 2: 135lbs for 4, etc) then when you get 5 reps you can just up the 1RM weight the percentages are based off of for 3 reps again on your last set.
When should I try my new PR and add some weight ?
Same question
prolly after a week or 2. Depends on how you feel
How do u progress with this
i think you try to get a better 1 rep max every few weeks or so, and you work from that
That's called western periodization and when prepping for a meet that cause detaining. The best method is the conjugate method created by Louie Simmons at westside barbell - the one gym that has more powerlifting world records than any gym in the entire world.
Sorry typo up there, I meant detraining/deconditioning
How much do u weigh
Smolov Jr way better, going down with a weights has no sense in strength training, unless you change your grip and going up to previous weight in pyramid way with different grip
warmup double my max :sob:
What does rep mean and reps mean 😭😭😢😢😭😭😭
Repetition
want to gain strength look up the tactical barbel books
Haven't really seen any progress
HOW MANY DAYS A WEEK
Asking same
3 times
@@caloFi for how many weeks until I should try my Max again ?
that salve body
How often do you max out
Asking same
20grams?
just the last set makes no sense to me.
💪😁
How many days a week should we try this
Can anyone tell me complete to follow along
first of all, train 2-3x/week.
Use weight that you can do Max 7-8 reps with and do 5x5 with it. And then always increase reps by one, and dont always use The same weight. For example If I could do 6 reps with 67.5kg, and 4 reps with 70kg, one workout If try to hit 70kg for 5, and next Time I would try to hits 67.5kg for 7. Just try to do something better than last workout.
Also do dips, explosive push-ups, dumbbell bench press, skullcrushers, incline bench press, floor press and close grip bench. Also, eat a lot, eat enough protein (1g/lb of Bodyweight or 2.2g/kg of bodyweight) drink enough water and sleep 8-10 hours a night. Get stronger in all variations of bench presses and accessory lifts. Also get sensei and big Back. Do row and pull-ups or Even pulldowns to really get big lats and upper Back (This makes your Back good surface for bench press) Hopea This helps!
@@mrmarno7639 thank u for the help mate.
@@pushkarvohra9712 no problem. Do you train on commercial gym or at home?

@@randomrandom-zl6woI just recently put up a video of a burn out last set. I busted 315 for 21 reps.👍👍 I'm proud of that being as I'm 40 years old..
You made your video idiot proof lol. if you guys are wondering. 100% would be he's 1rep max. Warm ups then 5x5, with a heavy all out drop set on the last one. That's all you need
Keep your head down
Does the strength produce hypertrophy in this exercise?
Personally I train for strength on bench no more than 6 reps and my chest, front delt, and tricep size has increased noticably, especially my chest. I'm sure you could achieve better results for size if you trained for hypertrophy though. Personally it's not my goal but regardless I've seen a pretty noticeable change in those muscles
@@davidmacamay7099hi mate, does 5x5 work for you at increasing bench press strength? Some people recommend me to do pin pressing and pause benching, what u reckon
yes just not to degree of 8-12 reps. but considering bench strength translates to every other chest exercise this will result in gains
I bench 225 x 10 reps, but never try 315,
You got this bro. Im at 150 for 1RM rn just doing 5x5 for now
@brokenhero6828 thanks, but you're doing very good job.
@@rkmobilecarwashdetailing7746 Thank you brother
@brokenhero6828 you're welcome
He’s only doing 165 max
His 90% is 165lbs? Our am i tripping 😅
The weight is in kgs
@@faizal1035 Ohh ok thanks
@@slowgainsnonstop2882yeah kilograms are 2.2x more than pounds.
1lb = 2.2kg
Am I the only one that notices that those are 20s, and not 45s? Biggest 20s I've ever seen
These are 20kg plates. 20 kg is basically equal to 45lbs
@maciekponka1061 so youre6telling me this guy is warming up with 225? I not a hater, but I dont think so friend
Just look up the 5/3/1 beginner or big but boring program.
