My friend made this bet with a friend of his to see who would bench the most by the time May rolls around. His current best is 170 lbs, weighing also around 170 lbs. His competition can currently do a 225 lb max.
It's looking a bit grim, but my friend has rarely BPed much so I feel like he can really exploit some beginner gains. I'm wondering what would be the fastest way to add the most amount of weight to the bench press of a beginner in 8 weeks?
I realize if this is a silly bet and it sounds like I'm looking for a miracle program but surely building up to a 235 lb bench press with high frequency training in 2 months isn't too bad?
I thought about a LP ala PTTP for 2-3 weeks, followed by a Smolov Jr cycle? Any thoughts? Thanks!
