Benching Maxes and Percentages

[davidjr74]

I decided that I'm going to start benching 5 Sets/10 reps (excluding warmup) but I need to know what percentage I should use. 80% of my max? 70% of my max? etc.

Remember that those are general, you could be better at 8 reps than you are at 2.

definitly, a sure way to find out, is just find your max 10 reps on the exersice..
