Bradley Barbell's Bench PR
The volume distribution is good and getting me used to heavier weight, but the accessories seem overly complicated in an attempt to make someone buy premium to swap them or something. a lot of the accessories aren’t feasible in a commercial gym
Slow negatives and pause reps are real deal. I have never trained that style previously. Incredible mind muscle connection when you do them. On final week so i can’t fully comment on if plan was successful on increasing my one rep max but definitely feel more confident on my bench press due to this training plan.
Programming is listed as “home gym” but uses machines in almost every days workout. Most can be subbed out for free weights but not all. Does not include conditioning workouts, so if that’s a part of your regular routine you’ll have to make time for it separately
Great for some new accessories that hit spots I had been missing, leading to more strength overall.
175->185 bench (long standing plateau) in 5 weeks (skipped first intro week). Great intro to tempo and de loading concept, but requires optimal caloric intake
I went from 130 max to easy 140 in one month
Started the program with a conservative 1RM of 285 on flat / finished the program with my first time hitting 315. Made a few modifications based on equipment/personal needs etc. Was able to dial in nutrition to support bench progress. Will try again in future.
First time trying this type of program. Feeling great throughout and experiencing good results, I definitely recommend it to try if you are struggling with adding weight on bench
Favorite aspects of the program is that you get to follow proven ACTUAL programs. Tracks your progress which is key to bodybuilding/strength training. Definitely would recommend to friends and family. I’ve gained noticeable size in six weeks. Shirts starting to feel tight.
This was by far the best bench program I have been apart of!! I’ve done many. My bench was around 345 for many moons then I got stuck at 370. Went full force into this six week program and ended at 405 in a matter of two months no idea how this program did it but it did!! The pause bench every week I believe might have been the key factor!! Do it!!
