During this 10 week strength cycle, we will be following a max-rep bench press program designed to build upper body strength, muscle hypertrophy, and pressing endurance. You will perform max unbroken reps at a progressively increasing load each week, promoting both physical and mental fortitude under the barbell. Once you complete the max lift, rest 1:00, drop the weight by 50%, and then complete a “burn out set” of max unbroken reps.
Start at the weight listed below for week 1 and progress weekly based on the listed increase for your 1RM.
In Pounds:
1RM.............Increase
<= 120#.......start at 60% and increase by 2.5 pounds every other week (or 2.5 every week)
