The most popular gym exercise


The bench press, its all some people do! Just because some lifters feel the need to highly overtrain this exercise doesn't mean it's not a valuable movement. The bench press can be done with more weight than a standing overhead press but because the lifter is laying down the functionality of the movement is diminished. However being able to use more weight allows more strength to be built and that strength can be carried over to other activities.

Training:
Bench 5x5
push-ups 5x quality set
Recline rows 4x quality set

Training:
squat 5x3
Bench 5x5
power clean 5x3
