You don't need to bench that much to get big. Do it Milos Sarcev's style. Elbows flared out 90 degrees and focus on contraction. According to Terry, Tom Price's chest used to be his weakest bodypart but once he went to Milos for help, his chest became one of his best bodyparts and he was using very low poundages. Bodybuilding is and always will be about feel and instinct. Listen to your body. You can get huge benching just 60 kgs. Terry benches less than me for your info, he dumbell shoulder presses less than me but in no way is he weak. He can do much heavier but he knows his body inside out. That's what separates a professional bodybuilder from an amateur, trust me.

Obviously I would love benching 3 big plates per side but if you use all leg drive, arched back, you take focus away from your chest. Besides EMG studies have already proven that the flat barbell bench press hits your pectoral muscles the least compared to the decline bench. Unless one knows how to execute the form perfectly, it becomes mostly an ego exercise.

Saw olkooi's bench press vid? That's what i call very close to perfect form at 80kgs. Too bad he took it down.

You are strong, you have the size. Just go on a cutting cycle and you'll look really good. Overall I'm very impressed by a lot of the progress most of the regulars made during my absence. Keep it up y'all.

Sorry la, maybe i can get a guest pass at FF next week. Actually i don't get it, when someone bench press why must they hold the middle of the barbel? I mean, the main aim is for the barbell to touch the chest and the knuckles just get in the way. Sometimes i feel like when i spot for people it's like doing barbell rows.

Hey darkie I can only make it friday morning or afternoon. I've got holiday cuz its good friday. Thursday I've got uni.

Those words don't fall on deaf ears bro.
Problem is I always fall for that cycle,decide am carrying too much fat and its time to cut,then after cutting I want to go for big poundage again then I gain it all back.
Did that last year,from 95kgs down to 82kgs,looked good but poundage sucked,now am 93kgs again and same poundage as before,sometimes I wonder if am even progressing.

When do you go, Darklight? Wouldn't mind training with one of the greats of this forum. 

Btw, if anyone here wants to have membership to MV Celebrity Fitness, let me know. I'm letting go of mine and would gladly pay all the fees necessary. Shameless plug over here, I know. 

my left wrist got injured almost permanently last year sebab this huge russian was about to pass out benching 150kg's and after 3 40% ROM, the bar could have carved a hole in his chest save for my intervention (luckily tak tolong with reverse grip like many pseudo spotters do)
BODOH!!!!! - to me also cuz i helped him
now nak buat 30kgs pullover pun susah cuz it hurts my left wrist to pull the dumbbell up (last time used to do 40kgs pullover at ease)

as for your last statement, you should listen to many uneducated gym goers (not bodybuilders cuz they dont read at all about bb'ing) saying "badan boleh naik la kalau main berat tapi orang support" - support here means like the supporter (not spotter) did in adamemo's vid or "tak payah buat cardio if u nak cut, main besi pun peluh ape"...yeah crap...
im an avid HIIT believer but after more than 40000 kcals burnt for the past 3 months in my uphill run (treadmill), my legs, plantar and shins begged for rest...hehehe
next week, bulk time
yay

yo darklight, I'm member of MV CF. But usually i go at around after 5.

I've injured my wrist as well but maybe can go and learn from you

I dont like MV.  The weight machines are always packed!

Nice form, isit advisable to have such a wide grip while doing the bench press? I'm doing only my shoulder width. Advice, thanks.

I'm going tomorrow after for shoulders, then Friday afternoon for arms. And don't label me great la, I'm no pro bb'er. I can pm you my number if you're really going.

Darn, I thought early morning. Some other time then.

Also, whenever my friends call me great, I give them exact same reply as you. But I think most of here will agree with me, you're great.

I think the man-love is getting too strong, though. Yikes!

I love you too. No homo.

1st of all, ive never claimed maself as a pro    and i did post my real poundage there instead of making up some nubmers,a proper form indeed is the best way to train.. but in order for me to increase my strength and size,i think the best way is still to go heavy with friend's support,coz thats how i could bench 100kg alone for 5-6reps.... low weights more reps = cuts,heavy weights less reps = size, at least tats wat i think i maybe misunderstood the concept of this, but that's how i gt my body ripped and benched frm 60kg to 100kg alone now in one year time not tryin to defend myself or trying to show off,but jz sharing some training experiences here with you guys... seems like some big guys here are not rly friendly to talk with....ermm....its gtting borin here 

Go away. You know what's a good exercise for you? Bench pressing 100kgs with your neck with a rest pause of more than 5 mins.

hahahaha....funny
