Bench Press12 min

Heavy Set of 10

Stimulus
  • This is the first week of our 10 rep sets, week 1 is not meant to be something we reach failure on or a true max weight 10 rep set. This week should set the bar for testing your 10 rep next week.
  • If your form is breaking down do not continue to build in weight and finish out your sets at the last weight you could maintain good form with.
  • Barbell must reach full lockout and touch the chest at the bottom of our reps. Ensure you make it to full lockout on your final rep before re-racking.
  • If you don't have a spotter, do not use collars on the bar for safety in case you miss a rep and need to dump the bar.
  • Score: Heaviest set for load
Strategy
  • Know that the first 4-6 reps will probably feel pretty good, once we pass the 7 rep mark is about where the reps may start to get a little slower. Aim for intentional and smart reps when we get to this point.
