Program Description
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.
