Bench Press Routines ~ Supplements
Bench Press Routine Five
Find the weight you can handle in the sets below. If you are successful at the weights used,
increase the weight by 5 pounds the next cycle week.
If you continually have extreme fatigue, soreness and
cannot recover, delete the middle week workout or go back to routine one.
After you have completed the three week routine twice over a six week period, take off the seventh week
before starting on week one again. First three sets are warm ups and not part of the routine.
Find your current max bench and use the percentages listed to figure what you could start
with at each set. Example 300 lb max bench x 55% = 165 lb. first set after warm ups.
No Bench Shirt until 45-60 days before a contest.
Shirt if used correctly should add between 20-35% to your lift.
