321 bench

by rako

Program Description

321 Bench — A raw strength program built on the proven top-set/back-off method, forged from heavy triples, brutal doubles and singles followed by high-volume back-off work. You’ll attack the bench press from every angle with a primary lift/secondary lift approach — competition bench, pause bench, and other heavy variations — backed by targeted accessory work to build pressing power and total upper-body dominance. This is pure, unapologetic strength training designed to make your bench press unstoppable and your upper body a weapon that destroys everything in its path.
