Hello,
I started lifting about a month and half ago. My bench started at 95 two reps. Then I made it up to about 105 6 reps 115 1 rep max. Thing is I only got 2 more reps on 105 this week and 2 less reps 95 after my 105 and 115 sets. Am I improving? Help please am I doing something wrong

    Is this an SAT word problem or something?

    If I'm reading that right, you got 105x6 last week and then 105x8 this week? Yes, that's better.

    When I bench
    I warmup with bar
    12 reps 85
    10 reps 95
    5-6 reps 105 (2 more reps than last time)
    1 rep 115
    8 reps 95
    Im woried about the second 95 set because I got 95 ten times two sets but I did not max 115

    LOL!

    I'd agree. It looks like you're doing better... But I guess I'm curious about your pattern and why you're doing it the way you are? It seems like you're continually pushing more volume...

    My advice to you is...don't worry.

    And perhaps start running a tried and true strength routine

    Are you running a strength program or winging it?

    What is your goal and why are you doing the above as far as set and reps go?

    What's your reasoning for it?

    What is the point of the final 8 reps?
