I've always been under the impression that you should roughly aim to get your standing overhead press (no push pressing or jerking or w/e) around 70% of max bench.
While I understand that it's not perfect and doesn't apply to everyone, I still feel like I'm missing out on something....

Hey guys...
For the past 5 or so years ive been training mostly a bodybuilding regeme for size gains... made some wicked gains but now am hitting a platue on size and was thinking of changing my training to concentrate on strength.
Current 1RM:
Bench 150Kg
Deadlift 200Kg
Squat 215Kg
I have...
Ive been reading lots of posts about rep ranges and to summarise most people say
4-6 is strength
6-10 is size
10 + endurance
Ive been doing alot of isolation at 6-12 but most of my compounds ive stuck to the 4-7 range.
Should I be dropping a few kg's to hit the 6-10 on my bench / deadlift...
Edit: Sorry if this is in wrong section, not really sure where to post it.

The Chicken and the Egg Dilemma: One Last Time (Part 1)
Development. That is the goal of modern bodybuilding and cosmetic physique enhancement. I think I know a little bit about this. At my first contest I weighed in at 154lbs in 1983. By 1987, I won the Great Lakes Classic at a bodyweight...
So when i started bulkign a few months ago i started off eating 500 calories over maintenance, which was 3500. The first 4 weeks all my lifts were going up really well, for example my bench press went from 30 kilo dumbells to 35 kilo dumbells in 1 month then i plateud so i upped the calories to...
So I was thinking, and I know everyone is different, but what sort of gains are thought to be respectable when benching/squatting/dead lifting? I've only really started lifting weights at the start of the year for the first time ever, I haven't done a squat in around 15 years and I did my first...

What do you personally like to use for carbs in your mass gaining cycle?I use durum wheat pasta and oats and find the oats keep me lean but the durum wheat makes me fat but really packs on muscle mass.What do you use???
I was just wondering how much size i should be adding on weekly while bulking. At the moment i've been adding on around 0.5 - 1kg a week and i was just wondering if thats normal? I thought maybe because im just coming up to my first month in gym im just getting some good newbie gains although i...

Hi Guys,
