I want to add some lean muscle mass to my build, so im lifting heavy and for some reason when i do the bench press my muscles seem to give out to soon. This has always been my problem and its hard to increase my bench alot. For example ill do 10 reps with weight that just warms me up, and then do another 10 a little bit heavier. Then i'll do one or two sets of slightly higher weight about 3 or 4 times each. Then i finally add heavy weight and target at least 6 reps but many times i cannot get there.
Ive also tried doin 3 sets and i can do ten reps the first time and then the second time i will only make it to six with the same amount of weight. Its like ill lift it and i just cant seem to push it up any more. Does this sound like muscle failure or could it be that i have long arms and need to lower the weight? Any suggestions on a routine to increase my bench press? Thanks
