Sometimes you'll plateau and one way around that is to drop the bar weight by 10%-15% of what you're presently lifting and increase your your reps by 50% to 100% for a week or so. Say you're stuck at 200lbs with 10 reps for five sets, drop the weight to 180-170 and increase your reps to 15-20 for the five sets. After two or three sessions, jump the weight back up to 200lbs and you'll probably find it'll feel light and you'll probably be able to do your routine five sets at an increased weight of 205-210 lbs.
Like Arnold says, you have to sometimes fool your body in what you're going to do next.
Whats up ALS,
Thanks for replying to my post friend. Well right now I am currently at 225lbs for my 1 rep max and what im going to try and do is go for 5-6 reps of 85% of my 1 rep max and see if this increases my bench press. If this does not seem to help me out at all then I will for sure take all your advice into consideration by basically shocking my body. Your advice sounds really sound and Im going to incorrapte it into my workout plan. Thanks dude for your advice and ahaha nice quote from Arnold.
