 I am 22 years old....about 196 lbs. My chest is pretty big but I can't seem to lift that much. When I bench I normally start off doing 2 sets of 8 165 lbs, then drop down to 2 sets of 8 145, then 2 sets of 8 115 lbs, then 2 forced sets of 95 lbs. When I max I can do about 205. I take protein shakes, BCAA caps, and ECC...... What am I doing wrong?

unstable pretty much summed it up dude... heres what i would do: 1.) You need to start lifting for power instead of rep...do reps of 3-6 with heavy weight 2.) Instead of going from heaviest to lightest, do the opposite...u wanna rly push ur muscles near the end of ur workout! 3.) as unstable clearly said, work ur delts, tri's and maybe ur lats too 4.) Eat a lot of cals, and take in about 200-250 G's protein per day 5.) maybe stack up on some creatine, or some strength supps GL with your bench...hope i helped  "Your pets will begin the revolution by biting you profusely.

Hey Eric! No you gotta deside what you want and if you mix full body and powerlifting you are going to get worst of both worlds. Try and do a basic powerlift rutine for say 6 months and see what gains you make on your bench (or whatever) and you wont ever look back and it will help your BB if you deside to go back to that Phil
