@lishanaidoo I dont know what's the warm up routine you talking about but what i do is an easy set, a médium set then a working set and pyramid up. Warm up as much as you need as long as it doesnt affect your performance on set 1. On follow up exercice i warm up only 1 set.
@lishanaidoo Hi science here. You get to lift the most weight when you are at your strongest. Easier to track your progress this way since your first set is the one that really count. You have to warm up before of course.
@michael67 Im 33 and my bench is way worse then at 23. Somehow my chest look way better it's not always about number. As you get older you learn the ability to make every rep way harder by ewisting little thing here and there. By the way i found the barbell flat bench a terrible chest builder...
