Question: Why can I only bench 3 sets of 8 reps of 30kg.? I thought I was pretty strong.......?
I started the gym a few days ago, and can do an average sort of weight on the chest press, and pretty much all of my other muscle groups are quite strong (except maybe triceps) but whenever I try and do bench press I can only do sets of 8 reps of 30kg otherwise I just get exhausted!

Answers:
This could be due to a lotta reasons.. Try doing the bench press as your first exercise next time and see if you can go more reps..
But actually 8 reps is good.. Try for 9 next time.. And every time you bench again try to add a rep.. When you get to 10 then up the weight.. You will maybe drop to 6 reps then.. But then just try adding one rep each time and follow the same process.. You will soon be benchin a lot more dude..Health Question & Answer
