- Heavy Single X 3 rounds **This should be about 95% of your 1RM
- Then... 5X3 (5 sets of 3 reps) @ 85% of your 1RM
Keep Your Butt Down.Bench Press with your butt on the bench. Your lower back can come off the bench to keep you chest up. But your butt cant or its a failed rep. Bench by pushing your feet into the floor, and your upper-back and glutes into the bench. Dont just push from your feet.No Butt Off Bench! Benching with your butt off the bench is cheating. Its like turning your squats to half squats. It makes the weight easier to bench by decreasing the range of motion. Raising your butt off the bench gets you three red lights in powerlifting competitions. So keep that butt on the bench!www.stronglifts.com
