Thu May 13 2021 Bench Press


(Weight)
Bench Press
Part A - 3 Sets:
1 Tempo Pausing Bench Press (4s Down, 2s Pause, Regular Up)
1 Tempo Bench Press (4s Down, Regular Up)
1 Bench Press
Rest 2:00 between sets.

Part B - 1 Set:
Max Reps Bench Press

Stimulus
- We are building slightly from last week.
- These are 3 consecutive reps. The first rep will have a 4s negative, a 2s pause at the chest, followed by a regular press out of the bottom. The second rep has a 4s negative, no pause, followed by another regular press out of the bottom. The last rep is a regular bench with no tempo or pauses.
- The pause at the chest does NOT mean rest the barbell on your body. The barbell should be just barely touching your body during the pause.
- Feet should stay flat on the floor, butt should stay on the bench, and the elbows should be about 45 degrees off the body throughout each rep.

All percentages based on 5RM Bench Press:
Part A - 100%
Part B - 76%
