Question by jazzy: How to build up my free weight bench strength?
I'm a male using my gf account...Im taking up weight bench and im a beginner...How may reps should I be doing and how many sets?
Second question is how soon or how often should I start to increase the weights should I start at 2.5 lbs on each side or 5lb to increase my starting weight?
I'm 5'8 at 160 pounds and i have minimal upper body strength


Best answer:
hey what you should do is start off with 10's on each side and then do this for 3 sets as many times as you can do this for 3 days with a resting day in between so it will develop your balancing muscles. Then after a week start at 65 and do this as many times as possible based on this you can find out where you stand. Find out a weight that you can do 10 times while still keeping good form. Once you find this weight then you will do that set weight say 70. You will do this 10 times. Then you will go to 75 and do this 5 times. Then go 80 and do this 2 times. If you do more than 3 sets than you become susceptible to injury. After you do this you will do this for 2-3 days. After you feel comfortable with this then you will go up 5 pounds and do the same thing you will do this for a 2 month perios. * in between each set you should wait about 4 minutes to give your muscles sufficient rest. after you are done with your workout do 3 sets of 10 good pushups to help support that you have previously done. After the 2 month period you will be benching somewhere around 110 for your max

good luck!
