You need to get a mastery for lower weights to get to the higher ones.
Correct, 195 is 1 rep max. Isn't it the journey that makes lifting fun? I understand I have a long long way to go until I am near my ideal lifts but I am perfectly ok with that. Theres a guy on youtube thats 145ish and does 435lb bench press for rest pause sets.....

Going to hop on a 5x5 program for bench press. Question would 5x5 on incline and then 5x5 on bench press after help? In Arnold's encyclopedia he says if you want your bench press to go up start with dumbbell fly's to warm up and then incline bench press.
