Bench Press Progression Overview (No Measure)

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 5 pounds every other week (or 2.5 every week)
125-185#…..start at 50% and increase by 5 pounds every week

190-255#…..start at 60% and increase by 5 pounds every week

260-360#…..start at 50% and increase by 10 pounds every week

>= 365#……..start at 50% and increase by 15 pounds every week

In Kilos:

1RM…………..Increase

<= 55kg........start at 60% and increase by 2.5kg every other week (or 1.25kg every week)
