well to say i'd like to do it in a year is a bit anxious and probably unrealistic of me, maybe a couple years. I've only been lifting for 11 1/2 months now , started at a 175 max and i'd have to guess i can do 3 plates for 1 rep, will find out for sure in couple of weeks when i max. That'd be 140 lbs increase on bench this year. I'm sure my gains will slow down as i continue to progress but i'll shoot for hitting 4 plates for sure by the end of 2005. Anyways, not to jack your thread here, congratulations on an awesome accomplishment. :)

thx jumbo all the luck to u also. u have been training less than a year and u do 3 plates 1 rep! thats amazing!! it took me like 3 years to hit 3 plates.

hey jumbo as promised....
the program is 10 weeks, u do 4sets of bench 2 times a week not including ur chest day.
set 1 warmup
set 2 6 reps
set 3 3 reps
set 4 1 rep.

for example ur all time max is 3 plates, wat u do is 2 plates for 6 then 2.5 for 3 reps and finish with 3 one rep. the day after go up by 2.5kg increments...by week 10 believe it or not u will b up to close to 4 plates!! u wont b doing them like peanuts thats bull but ur body will get accustomed to heavier poundage and ur all time high of 3 plates witll become a set of 3-6 reps in a span of 10 weeks not bad!!!
anyways let me know...

sounds like a good routine, .........I'll definitely give it a shot. I like to try new things and find out what i respond well to as far as training routines. I figure eventually i'll have a compilation of effective routines to chose from and apply. This layout looks like it would give me shorter workout times then does 5x5. Thanx for sharing the routine.
