Am I benching enough?!

Am I benching enough?

I starting lifting in November of 2006. I could only bench around 90 lbs. It's now July, and I can bench 210.

Am I on the right track? I've been going to the gym 4-5 times a week, and running 3 times a week. (I missed one week b/c of my wisdom teeth) I started out weighing 170 with some fat. I'm now 185 without any fat.

I have three workouts that I rotate. Chest, Arms, and Shoulders and Back.

I drink a protein shake in the morning, and right after I workout. I eat very healthy, and eat grilled chicken at least 3 meals a week.

When I lift, I do a five set pyramid. First set is very light. second set is a little heavier....up to fourth set is the most I can do (2-4 reps). Fifth set is about as light as 2nd set.

Sounds like you have done pretty well so far. If you are trying to increase your bench, you should look at how many days you let your muscles rest between chest exercises. Most big guys I know work the crap out of each muscle group once a week divided up into 3 or 4 workouts throughout the week.

Also look at your protein intake and be sure you don't push too hard. For a lot of people, the muscles will get stronger faster than tendons or ligaments, I've seen a lot of blown out shoulders from this.

Great job and good luck!
