I am actually intrigued by your idea - this man beneath the bench, would the bench have to be raised up on block to do it? Or is a midget preferable? Would this be a gym employee whose sole job is to pull ropes around chests, or are you and your workout partner going to scramble in and out from under the bench every set?
How hard should the midget be pulling, what percentage of max force? Does teh diameter of the rope matter? What if I dont have a rope in my gym, could I use a belt instead? [u]Could I attach ropes to my elbows as well to really work the triceps?[/u] Is a bench press even necessary, or could I just have a dominatrix tie me up and force my muscles to work harder to contract that way?
I was mildly amused by your post until I read the the highlighted sentence. HA!

Man I only have 20. I think 50 was a bit generous tbh…
How about wearing one of those ab belts around your chest when you’re benching??
Oh wait, I’ve something even more radical… Get strong and bench more than 135!!

This is a strategy I thought about trying tommorrow. While one guy is doing bench with like 135 for high reps, the other guy is lying under the bench pulling a rope from each side hard around the bencher’s chest. It seems that the chest will have to work harder to contract. Should I try this ? [/quote]
Hell yeah! Way to think outside the box dude. Be sure to post the results with videos…

Then maybe you should actually be in the gym lifting rather than online coming up silly get-big-quick schemes.
True. Just go lift heavy stuff and eat.

Don’t you get it tho…? He’s a statistical anomaly. Everything that evreyone else has done, including the biggest and strongest guys in the world won’t work for him. Or maybe it’s a long hard road and he’s looking for shortcuts. Hell I dunno.

jesus christ. is something contageous going around? please explain how someone lying under the bench, keeping you strapped to the bench with a rope, is going to help build your arch.
on the other hand, if you were kidding, you should know that words like “wow”, “totally”, “bro”, etc, will help others to decipher the sarcasm.

I’ve just noticed that a lot of guys let their arch collapse at the bottom of the bench, and I was thinking you could use something like this as cue to help keep your arch hard.
Of course, if you do board press, you have to keep your chest forced out.

Isn’t there some kind of method , where you tie a string real tight on lets say your shoulder, to stop blood from flowing to the muscle?? Then you work for high rep ranges to induce hypertrophy… wow… did i just type that?

Actually there is, and I can’t remember the name of it but I think it’s Japanese. It sounds pretty rediculous to me. I mean, even if I thought eating dog shit built huge muscles I still wouldn’t do it.

True, but I have found to get stronger you must eat, train with stronger guys than you, and repeat as necessary. If you get in my position were you are fairly strong, you get some younger guys to train with you and eat.
