Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a heavy day paired with some lighter speed work with the same lift. In the first part of the workout, build to a heavy single. Ideally, you’ll lift with a buddy for safety purposes; however, if you are lifting alone, do not push to the point of failure. Following the heavy single, decrease the loading to 50-60% of the day's single and perform the 8 sets of triples. These reps should be fast and explosive off the chest. Rest for no more than 1 minute between sets.
Intermediate option:
Same as Rx'd.
Beginner option:
On a 15-minute clock:
Find a heavy single bench press
Then,
Bench press 3-3-3-3-3 reps
Lift 50-60% of heavy single loading.

nice pump day! After yesterday’s disastrous workout I was looking forward to this one. Bench max is 285 lbs about 10 years ago, so pretty happy with these results. Would love to get to 275 again.
