Me a measly 120 lbs. How do I increase my bench?
Figures you're a weakling.
If you want to increase it, do as many push-ups as you can as often as you can, and eat nice balanced meals.

Pump yourself full of steroids... when you can't bend your arms and legs it's time to stop. As a bonus you'll probably pick up a few Olympic medals in four years time... but don't bank on being around in five years time.
Originally posted by Phlabibithmm nice tip. But I don't believe you. You have probably doctored your stats.

Originally posted by JieYou don't need to believe me, but I used to be able to do 1,000 push-ups a day, this was back when I was taking Tae Kwon Do.... granted I only weighed about 130 at the time and was 23 years younger.
hmm nice tip. But I don't believe you. You have probably doctored your stats.
Do the push ups, as many as you can as often as you feel you can (don't hurt yourself, work towards a goal)
If you can do 10 now, do 8 every 2 or 3 hours.
Do lots of stretching.
Work in some pull ups so you don't get lop-sided in one area.
Work your legs with squats and such also, you don't want to get huge in the chest and arms and have skinny legs.
Good luck.
