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 sad.gif

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.

Its normal i think. Especially when you are up on maximal effort. Stuff like the deadlift and squats, ive even seen some chick start puking halfway through deadlifts.

I puked once. There goes expensive KFC. Havent peed yet. Wondering if it's common.

I thought that's a post natal thing?

Hence the question. Besides the fear of peeing in public, I have the fear of ruptured stitches too. Urgh.
