I use 225 for bench, and use that for all my sets. Can't max out cause I lift alone.

AH, I'm in the same boat. I have to get extremely comfortable with the weight before I throw on some more on there, due to no spotter. I'm slowly creeping up to my 275 mark though. Only ten pounds away

Yups, its a slow road for me too. I usually try to throw on a big jump for a day when I can get a spotter and use that to mix things up.

I dont really do max, I'm scared to drop it on my throat Once I get used to 265, i'll just start doing sets with 275, and so on. It's just a slow progress...

Ahh the question I never have a good answer for My "routine" blows donkey dick! I'm a firm believer that most of my gains come from my stellar diet. for the most part I never cared what food tasted like, unless I'm eating out. So I can eat plain boring chicken breast for god knows how long. But diet is not what you asked me about
On to the ****** routine...
My chest routine consists of:
4 sets of bench, 3rd being the hardest, and 4th being 135 pounds go until I cant lift it with a perfect form anymore.
Incline DB press.
Chest press machine thingy.
Followed tri exercises.
Told you it was ******. I have a friend who majors in Exercise science and he was supposed to make me a "great" routine but he is still working on it. I do not have enough imagination to make one myself. Plus Chest/tri is my least favorite day so I ever really cared for it.
As far as supplements: Right now I only take ON Whey + Vitamins, that's all. I really try to take most of the stuff that my body needs through my normal food intake. Chicken, Fish, and Steak are my friends
Ok if anyone wants to make me a good routine, I'll give it a shot

dam thats a pretty good routine, i think lifting till failure probably helps you out too, i have to try that. as for diet, im the same way, i dont care what food tastes like.
have you ever thought about lifting chest with bi, and back with triceps? i tried doing it and i got better tri / bi workouts, reason why is when you work your chest you also work your tri so when you get to your tri excersizes after working chest, they are already pre-fatigued, while your biceps are fresh. and vice versa. you work out other muscle groups the rest of the week right?

Well I think an "ehh" routine. Also I do not lift to failure, I just lift until my form starts to suffer on the bench. Wouldn't want to get crushed by those 135 pounds ( I have dropped it on my chest accidentally, it was not pleasant.)
Yea the rest of the week I do, legs, back/bi, and usually I have my triathlon day someplace there. Although I try to go for a run or bike after each workout, time permissible. Triathlon day consists of running (10min), biking (20ish) and rowing (til I wanna puke )
Edit* If i know I wont get to the gym for at least two days then I do full body work outs before i leave, which are actually out of the "New High Intensity Training" book. I love their routines. So sometimes there is structure in my workouts.

Ultimately you can still bench press more than I can.
Does that make you feel better?

im 205 i can do probably 2.5 really clean sets of 245. people say carbs are bad but those are carbs from sugar and bad stuff. good carbs get stored as energy your body uses when you lift. they are also good post workout.
but i mean dont eat and then go right out and lift lol...give it about an hour to digest.

I usually do a protein shake, hour of homework, and then superpump/lift.
