Default Re: Bench help

All excellent advice! Just to throw out a couple other ideas.…if your like me and need quick and simple. One of the workouts I use is very similar to the one above, I used excel to make them. You can format the different cells so that you put in your one rep max in the first cell, the next four cells are configured so that they are 65%, 75%, 85%, 95% of the first cell doing sets of 10, 6, 4, 2 respectively. Then I do my negatives, what I like to do is use a rack and set the catch bars so they are maybe an inch below my chest when fully inflated. I like it cuz I feel like I can fight it a little more when it gets close to my chest. Exhale and slide out from under the bar. Doing it this way you can do it by yourself and just grab someone to lift the other side to rack it. If anyone has any interest on using excel to make a workout just PM me.
