First we have to define the definition of the word “True”.
In my mind, as applied to a feat of physical strength, the definition would be simple. Unassisted, and solely performed by an individual without help from human, animal or mechanical trickery. One so called sport of strength falls short of these definitions in the worst way.
Can you guess which one?
Denial creates so many misconceptions. Eating healthy foods are one of life's positive decisions,but only if the complete story surfaces as this topic plays out in “The whole Truth”.
First and foremost, excessive body fat must be lost if health and nutrition are to be one's goal in life. So called “lean foods” will still add body weight if consumed in a caloric quantity above that burned in daily activity. Calories are calories. Some burn faster than others but they all amount to excess body weight if intake exceeds the ability to burn on an equal scale.
Nutritional diets are as different as night and day, in relation to weight loss diets. The term “Big is Beautiful” had to be coined by an obese individual in denial. In reality...it's a life shortening way of using food intake as a hobby. No one has ever eaten their way to to a leaner physique. Negative caloric intake is the only true way. The truth hurts only if we don't accept it.

Typically, in most sports, we tend to pick one aspect or one player's position to glorify, above any other player or position in the event. In football, it has to be the Quarterback. In the sport of Powerlifting, the Bench Press specialist seems to be pre-eminent in drawing the most attention from the media and stirring excitement from the fans.
Not too many years ago, an 800-pound deadlift or squat, would have us buzzing for weeks. Far too many beginners become so entrenched in the pursuit of their bench press progress, they sometimes sidestep exercises they consider unrelated to their bench training. Commonly, young benchers focus on triceps, pecs, and delts, figuring they play the major role so let's work them to death. I must tell you, without a decent set of lats, you'll never realize your full potential in the bench. I am constantly asked, "How many reps and how many sets should I do"? As years pass, reps and sets become less & less important to me. Nonetheless, it seems to be the never ending question. Many youngsters feel the current crop of top benchers have a secret, magical formula that they share only with each other, carefully guarding the numbers so the masses never get a clue. If, in fact there is a magical formula, I guarantee you it will be different numbers (sets & reps) for each individual. Herein, we find the truth. We are all individuals with totally different physiological blueprints. A wise man once said, One man's ceiling is another man's floor. Structure your own rep/set scheme to fit your specific needs. Ultimately, you really have no choice if you plan on benching at your maximum genetic potential.
