hiya peeps, need some advice to break my bench press plateau. how do i go about it without a gym partner? any kind of good routines to recommend? I tried looking but there's so many of them cant be sure which one works 
I'll give you a few sample routines, of people whom I know that squat over 200KG.Guy 1. Strongman from England.
From 280KG-300KG in 5 weeks.
70KGx10
120KG x 5
170KG x 5
220KG x 5
262.5KG x 3
272.5KG x 2
He repeated around this for 5 weeks, thrice a week, and got a 20KG PR.
Guy 2: Weightlifter from India.
From 1 110KG-165KG in 4 weeks.
20KG x 10
50KG x 5
90KG x 3
110KG x 1
90KG x 5 x 3-5 reps.
5x a week. Increase the workset weight according to new 1RM.
Guy 3: Chinaman from Malaysia
From 175KG-200KG in 8 weeks.
Squats thrice a week.
Does very much what the weightlifter from India guy did. Only that included 3-4 sets of lunges working to a 5RM.
Guy 4: American guy
Uses the 1-6 theory.
1RM-6RM for 3 sets.
Guy 5: Canadian guy
Uses cluster sets
Now what I'm trying to highlight to you is, you've got to find out what suits you. After all, you're the only person who's been to ALL your training sessions. Get me? Take a routine, try it out, tweak it as you go, to suit yourself.
