Increase the amount you can currently bench press for a solid 10 reps by 10% over the next three months. This is a good strength training challenge for all strength levels, and a reasonable goal for anyone looking to add a little competition to any lifting routine. Give it a try! |

With my current routine my reps are as follows: So I suppose if I want to improve my max then that would be 100 kg to 110kg ( 220lbs to 242) although I suspect I may be able to go to 120kg (265lbs). |

Did 1×265lb on 12/31 but have only done the equivalent of just below that for the last three months. 10% more would be 291.5 but I want to try for 1×300lb since my goal is to make the 300/400/500 club. It’s a long way for me to make the squat and deadlift… but I’m not in any hurry. |

Speaking to my dad last night and his old max of the deadlift was 500, so I want to beat him :P. Pushed 110kg today for 6 reps, so up 10% on last week :) |

Hey guys. My bench is low but I’m going to push to increase that weight over the next few months. My 8 rep is around 115 lbs. I got 155 lbs 8 times today but that was using the Smith Machine. |

Currently on 60kg (130lbs) for 5×5, aiming to get up to 65/70kg (145/155lbs) for the same amount in 3 months. |

Current is 100lbs for 10 reps so looking for 110lbs but my personal goal is to double what i currently do to get to 200lbs for 10 reps, so lets see how it goes |

@BlackDawn, Have you tried lifting more for 5 or less reps because that helps you build strength quicker. Using 8 or more reps tends to help build muscle endurance. Once you build strength, you can usually go back and do high reps with a higher weight than before. I like 5×5 (5 sets of 5 with 1-2 minutes rest between). |
