Program inspired by the training principles of Josh Bryant, designed to break bench press plateaus through focus on weak points, hypertrophy, and holistic development of pressing speed and power. Squats are featured twice per week, with sufficient leg development work. Upper back and shoulders have enough volume dedicated to them as well. Deadlift is put on autoregulation - every workout you get a rep bencmark, and for every rep that you overshoot it, you add 1% to the weight next week.

Each session typically takes around 90 minutes to complete. That estimate covers your working sets but doesn't account for warm-up or rest between sets, so budget a little extra time when you're first learning the movements.
