I'm currently on a cutting cycle, and having read Diesel's excellent guide, am mixing Hi Intensity Cardio (4x Week) and low rep/heavy workouts (3-4 Week).
My problem is my bench press. I am 6'0, 190-195lbs (trying to get down to a strong 180), and am pressing 15 reps @60, for 2-3 sets. I can't do a 1RM, as I don't have a spotter (using military gym- place is deserted), and don't want to use a machine, as I won't get the full benefit of the exercise.
My questions are : what should I be aiming for on my bench press?
AND
What can I do to improve my bench, without needing to bulk?
Also, any good advice on decent (read Non-Steroid) suplementatation would be welcome.
Thanks
Cyrano
