So my college has a body weight bench competition. Whoever benches their body weight the most times wins. For me to get second place, I need to bench my body weight about 25 times (first place I’d need like 38 reps which is not realistic for me). I’m interested in training for this, but I’m not sure which regimen is most ideal. As of now I work out chest twice a week. First chest workout of the week I do 5x5 for strength and then 3x8-12 of incline dumbbell press. Second chest workout I bench 135 lbs (about 35lbs below my body weight) for 25 reps, then do 3x8-12 of incline dumbbell press. My logic was to build up from 25 reps of 135lbs to 185lbs. I know that’s a long shot, but I go to the gym 6 days a week and have the motivation to do it. Is my workout ideal, or are there better alternatives? Thanks!
