MAX REP BENCH PRESS + BURN OUT SET

Week 8:
Max Rep Bench Press (+ 2.5-15 lbs from last week), based on the chart below
-rest 1:00-
Burn Out Set: Max Reps @50% of the weight performed above

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.
