Bench Press Program, Workout #1 of 14
Workout #1 went off without a hitch. I did 3 warm-up sets, then 5 working sets using the weight and reps as stated in the table for someone starting with a 220 1RM. I did 1 set @ 6×170, 2 sets @ 5×180, and 2 sets @ 4×190. No trouble at all with this, only started to feel a little tired on the fourth rep of the sets of 190. After benching I did a good triceps and back workout. I’ll do my second bench workout on Wednesday or Thursday, depending on how I feel. I won’t be lifting weights tomorrow, if I do anything It’ll be a walk and maybe go swimming if I can make it fit into my schedule. Hope everyone had as great a day as I did!

Hi Tony. The deeper I get into the program, the more excited I get! Today I blasted my personal best of 300 with a 315.
Good luck and enjoy the new strength.

Yep, you’ll think that the workouts early in the program are too light - but just wait (or is it weight?) you’ll be wondering how your ever going to lift the big weights later - and then surprise yourself when you do! Have fun with the program!

Dave`s right. I am amazed at the weight I am putting up!
