Answers:
As far as strength goes the best way to do it is 10, 8, 6, 4 every time you down set add another 10 to 20 pounds, pick a weight you are comfortable with for your first set but by the end you should be struggling with just 4 reps!. I wouldnt be able to tell you how much is good as long as you feel good bout it, im 5'11 and 175lbs, and bench a max weight of 255 pounds at age 19, just make sure you only max out 1 time a month, the best way to get results is to have a spotter while lifting because they can help you with those extra reps, and push your body!. Good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

as a rule of thumb you should be able to bench your own weight 20 times!. Once you can do that add 20 pounds and repeat i'd say 220 is a good max at 175!. NO double your weight is dumb!. I guarentee the average person cannot do 340!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

250 would be a good goal to start with
and i would have to say more weight with less reps help build more muscleWww@Answer-Health@Com

You should be able to bench double your weight!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

guys cmon in college i weighed about 230 and i maxed out at 417 chill out its very possible if you just work hard!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
