Strength

Bench Press

  • Build to a heavy single with a :01 pause on the chest.

Notes

Today’s strength is bench press. You will take as many sets as needed to find a heavy single for the day.

YOU MUST PAUSE FOR :01 WITH THE BAR ON THE CHEST.

Perform multiple reps with lighter weights to warm up. At moderate-heavy weights, perform one rep at a time until you find your heavy single.

Please use a spotter for today’s bench press.
